After some idiot (me) left the switch in the "on" position for the third time in two years and killed my A123s, I think I need switches with an indicator light. Does anyone know who makes one that I can put trust in? I've always used JR super switches with flawless results but I have no idea about the lighted ones.

I use Fromeco

Halfway down this page. Not sure how great they are but they have 20 gauge silicone wire. Im goin to order some up myself .

How about installing a loss of signal alarm, several are available here is one http://www.hobbico.com/radioaccys/hcap0335.html. When no signal is received by the RX this alarm will sound.

I run the Wolverine on my flight system. Probably going to get a Badger for my ignition.

I haven't heard anything bad about the Booma RC switches. just another option. I am gonna try some in my next build.

I use a Wolverine but I saw some Booma switches in a buddy's plane the other day. They are really slick!

Badger and Wolverine are probably great, but neither have LED do they?

If a Booma fails does it fail open or closed?

Some info on Wolverine switch from another post
Couple of great features
1) Battery sharing / balancing between the packs
2) battery isolation if a pack shorts
3) The switches, if they ever do fail, fail in a closed state (electronic switch) they stay on!!!
I do not know of any other swtches that do the above. But that does not mean they are not out there. If they are i could not find them.

Charging jacks
cool alum mounting plate
cool blue led lights
power leads configured to your needs
Heavy gage wire.

It took me a while to pull the trigger on moving to this switch. Glade i did.

They are solid state switches so I would imagine so.

I agree, the Wolverines are great and the guys at Fromeco are glad to customize them to your specs. Only complaint is that it takes 3 midgets to install one in a tight spot! I wish they were made with remote switches, like a pin/flag setup.

Ah ah ah.... 3 Little people ;-)

Not lit atm but.... LED's (left of switches).
