A123 Batteries and On/Off Switches
Maybe a dumb question; I will be using Dual A123 Receiver Batteries; the Batteries have 2 leads; One for Balancing Charging which is a 3 pole mini deans of some sort that mounts through the fuse, and the 2nd one connects to the receiver; the Receiver lead will connect through an On/Off switch, which will also be mounted through the fuse; all the switches I have looked at, have a charge lead which I do not need; are there any heavy duty switches out there that do not have the charge lead or is it any problem to just go ahead and use a switch that has a charge lead, what do you do with the charge lead that is not going to be attached to anything?
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: A123 Batteries and On/Off Switches
The charge lead is connected to the battery only when the switch is in the off position. You can ignore it and leave it un-attached or you could modify the plug end to attach to your balance tap and use it.
