The fiber-optic receiver should go between your mechanical on/off switch and your ignition unit. The battery should connect to the switch. If you use a DSC switch you should have no problem charging your battery. Please let me know if I did not answer your question completely. I may have misunderstood something. Thanks,

You can eliminate the mechanical switch but the unit will draw a slight amount of power when off so if you should disconnect the battery at the end of the day of flying. To charge you would just disconnect the battery as you say. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Status: offline 		Thanks, I have your cut off and LOVE it, but I was wondering why I was running two switches! BTW, I see you are out of stock and I'm having my nephew buy one of these this week so I guess we'll see if Troy Built has any.

Thanks for great products.
