You can go to Wal-mart or a sporting goods store and buy a big foot switch. They are only about $10.00. Just hook up the negative on each side and your problem is solved. It would be like a foot controlled instead of a handle. Good luck

That's not a good idea.
Making sparks near a battery is always a bad idea. The gasses inside the battery are explosive. (hydrogen gas)
