If IRC that was the issue that caused the Quadratrac winch recall.
Freaks me out a little... I was lucky it ran out instead of in. They're sending me a brand new one, but I still want to have a cutoff now.

If you search this forum for “warn power interrupter”there is a thread or two that discuss it and similar options

That kit is just a high amp solenoid, works just like a regular relay. Should be able to find an inexpensive one, golf carts use something similar and may have enough current capacity. Basically you use a regular switch to toggle a big switch (relay/solenoid)

You could look into putting a high amperage circut breaker inline on the positive wire. They make some quick reset versions for high end car audio that will handle that load. simple as pushing the red button to disconnect and closing it back to reconnect. Would also eliminate possible battery drain associated with the winch

example:

If you’re looking for simple on off, a boat battery disconnect switch would probably work well.
