Recommended Battery Disconnect Switch for Deep Cell Battery on Horse Trailer for Accessories

Question

Question:

I have a horse trailer and have installed your quick disconnect with the charger. I also have some led lights on the trailer. I would like to install a seperate deep cell battery to turn the lights on inside after I park it. So I need a switch that can connect/disconnect the deep cell battery after I park and disconnect the trucks power. Do you have any ideas? I was looking at the Epicord Battery Disconnect Switch with Key - 50 Amp Thanks
