    Can I run a blue sea without a relay? I just want to avoid relays at all costs, since they confuse me..

    Just like this, and without a breaker too:

    Yes. Only if the switch is rated for whatever you’re running through it.

    so if you have little fog lights that pull 3A but the switch can handle 10A, you’re all set.

    Yep, the blue sea is fused so you're g2g. I'd still include a breaker though. That way you can disable all the accessories with one push of a button.

    Super helpful if you are jump starting another car, etc and dont wanna risk it.

    thanks guys. This is regarding my second battery. Im going to redo the wiring and i dont want to mess with the relays. I will need to look up what the switch is rated for. I will be only using them for bed lighting/accessories, so no jumping other vehicles will ever happen.

    Yeah if it’s just little stuff like that it’ll probably be fine.

    There is a difference. And the clearances are much tighter under pressure
