+====== Battery Disconnect ======
+a regulation battery disconnect is a required safety system, as defined in the official rules section 1.13.2
+The only approved disconnect is an "emergency stop" style button which disconnects power in the down position and allows it through in the up position. this device must either:
+- Immediately and mechanically cut the main power from the battery, or
+- Operate a contactor (not a simple relay) to cut this main power from the battery.
+Suggested part numbers for specific order are pulled from the official rules and reposted here:
+- Disconnect: Longacre LON-5245749
+- Contactor Button: Fuji Electric AR22VQL-01E3R
+neither of these are required brands, but they suffice the necessary conditions, so buy something similar for your kart.
