Among their many offerings is the Wallaby Switch.  This unique product is capable of controlling and monitoring the power from your receiver battery through a digital microprocessor.  It is produced in both a single or dual battery configuration.  The Wallaby can monitor your onboard batteries 24/7 as it has a built in state-of-the-art processor that will allow you to turn the batteries off, but pass 0.4mA of power through in sleep mode.  This only occurs when the system is turned off and continues until the batteries are physically disconnected.

Using bright LED signaling, the Wallaby flashes the on/off condition and programmed into the switch is protection against an accidental on or off by requiring the user to press and hold down the on/off switch.  Some programming is required for different battery types, but the Wallaby handles LiFEPO4, LiPO and LiIon batteries (2-3 cells).
