I’m looking for the right rotary switch for my project. The project is a portable solar charging station, so everything on the panel is powered by 12VDC. But I also want to add an AC charging port that only connected to the 12V battery.
I was thinking of a 3-position rotary switch. One position for charging the battery via AC charger; therefore, I wouldn’t want anything on the panel to be in that circuit. One position for OFF, just in case something gets left switched on. And one position to power the rest of the panel.
I’m not sure if any old rotary switch can handle both. I assume they could, but I would like some opinions. Also, if you know of a good place to buy them, please include that to. I had envisioned a decent size red switch (not a tiny one).
Thanks.
