will this switch be able to handle a car battery?

It will handle a car battery but really depends what you are going to control with it and how many amps it pulls.

Should be able 2 so long as u don't exceed amps y'all be fine worst thatle happen is it will short and burn some and no more switch but should withstand it

It depends on the load - in other words it depends on what the switch is turning on and off. The switch is rated for 12 volts and 20 amps which is good for most lighting circuits and other small loads on a car. But some electrical loads on a car can exceed 20 amps - power windows, defrosters, fans, etc. so you should be careful to make sure the circuit will be limited to 20 amps. To get an idea of circuit loads for your car, take a look at the owners manual for the fuse diagram - the fuse diagram will list the current rating (20A means 20 amps) for that circuit - it's a good guide.

It seems it could work, it is a double pull double throw, almost meaning it can never turn off just change polarity(flipping the current). The switch works well for switching between functions possibly Foreward reverse function. I doubt that it is a direct swap but of you know someone who could install it it should work with a bit of fabrication ie splicing it into a harness.

I don't know. I don't have a car battery connector and haven't tried, sorry. Maybe another person can answer it. I would think if you get the correct power cord you should be able to.

It is a click type, but honestly if you put it at 6v it will likely power the deivce you are looking to power. Unless of course it has a moter in which case it may cause the moter to strain a bit.

I would say so! I swear by this thing. I keep it with me at all times for my laptop, cellphone. It had enough power to kill my Subaru car battery over night even though the switch was turned to off. Just make sure to unplug it from your car outlet immediately after you are done using it. Have fun camping!

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

If your using one 12 volt car battery out of the car it won't supply that current for any useable amont of time even if the converter was capableof doing that, which it is not. It could maintain 800 watts continuous if the battery was in the car with the car running maybe even 900 watts,but that's it. As far as the connection to the battery I'll reserve the "duh" and say: positive to post marked +, negative to post marked -.

the switch is rated @ 15 amps/12 volts. Probably you could. It is a very nice, rugged switch which is seeing duty on my ATV, and has never offered to fail. Highly recommended.

This is a 12 volt switch I used it to install my fog light in my truck I believe it would work for any circuit of 12 volt or less voltage

Yes, however it did not work for my application. I was going to use it as a battery cut off for my truck. Unfortunately it could not carry enough amps to start my truck when in the on position.

I used it as a switch for the solenoid on my nitrous kit and that was hooked up to a 10 amp fuse. As far as how much you can push through it I'm not sure, but if it's for use in a vehicle it should work for anything.

I use it for a trailer with 12 batteries attached to it or you can use it plugged into a car. Works both ways as long as it gets 12v as input it will convert it for you.

This switch should be fine on your truck as long as the circuit your planning on using it on doesn't draw more than 20 amps, hopefully drawing a little less so the switch isn't operating at it's limit continuously.

Not sure of your application. I use my switch to keep the batteries in my trailer from over charging while I am parked for a time and using the 110 volt land line. Works great for my application.

I use this switch on my motor home with a 12 volt battery. It should work fine with yours.

It can be used for that if you keep the ignition switch in "acc" position. However, be careful not to let the + terminal disconnected under the hood touch ground because that will short out this battery connection that you've made.

No, This is for a 12v - 24v application. The body of the switch could easily end up carrying current. The terminals are for soldering.
