I want to install a battery kill switch in my 52’ chevy 1/2 ton, and I was looking on flea bay and I noticed that the cheaper ones were only rated for 20 amps continuous use, 125 amp surge. With a 63 amp 12 volt alternator, that rating seems to be a bit low. The next step up is 175-200 amp continuous and 1000 amp surge and that seem a bit of overkill.

Your opinions?
