I'm really trying not to be a .... about this... but No, and here is why...



  • Looks pretty... but didn't even insulate the wire... a failure leading to a short and it's over. i.e., dropped.
  • claims the load is only being carried to the MOSFET and not out of the MOSFET?!?!?!?!?! The only portion without high current is the switch.
  • No fuses. Sure, why not skip out on fuses, it's not like we are using an IC to prevent high current on the switch... oh yeah... <sarcasm>
  • Voltage drop on that wire [and connections] let alone the 18AWG he claims you can use for *some* of it. If you want to waste battery/wattage on heating your internal wiring, and you want to lose output voltage on direct relation to the current you are trying to pull, then go for it.



That's the short list.
