Thanks!
It is still in the works, but I want a double relay/contactor inside the 'safe area' (the IMA pack and electronics are in a big black bucketlike box, shielded by a big aluminum piece.
There is ample space in that for some extras like my relay/contactor.
I will wire a 12V switch from outside the box (obviously) to operate the contactor.

The physical connection is by 3 pairs of Anderson connectors.
I need to fix mount the car side Anderson connectors to prevent that anyone could ever interconnect them, which would have the remaining connector bear the full voltage. All other interconnections would be safe, if my analysis 2 posts back is correct.

Had another mail from the supplier one hour back.
Working hard to get everything I need so I can start the build coming weekend.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
