Badger does not work, the wolverine does but its duplication in some cases. SF sells a bunch of switches.

I use smartfly's and gotta say I love the pin and flag.. One switch for everything including my ignition. Stupid easy. Glad he puts two rocket launcher keys in the package though. I lose them. LOL

That's why I stopped using them. Also, the fact that the pin sticking out of the fuse can easily get bumped and damage the mount. Once the novelty wears off a simple SPST switch is a more elegant solution IMO.

Why won't a Badger switch work with a SFPE?

You could, but you'd be using it between the battery and the power input on the Expander. This would work, however it would not be fail-safe as the SmartFly switches are. The Smart Fly switch can completely die and the expander just keeps running.

I might be wrong, but I thought that both the Badger and Wolverine switches failed in the on position. I have never had one die on me yet, so I can't say from personal experience
