Key Benefits & Specifications:

• Dual Battery Sensing: Automatically senses connected battery bank voltage to provide optimal, efficient charging of the second bank.
• Dual 12/24V Operation: Versatile compatibility for both 12-volt and 24-volt systems (both banks must be the same voltage).
• High Continuous Amperage: Rated for 500A continuous, ensuring robust power handling for demanding marine applications.
• Remote Emergency Parallel: Features a remotely activated, high-current emergency parallel connection for temporary battery combining, ideal for emergency starts.
• Ignition Protected Design: Meets UL 1107 standards, providing safe operation in engine compartments and other sensitive areas.
• Marine-Grade Construction: Built with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics for exceptional durability in harsh marine conditions.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes less than 6mA, minimizing drain on your battery systems.
• Optimized Cut-in Voltage: Lowered cut-in voltage (13.3V/26.6V) is suitable for low output alternators and high-temperature environments.
• Flexible Mounting: Can be recessed or surface mounted to suit your installation needs.

Compatibility & Pairings:

• Ideal for integrating independent battery banks with a single charging source, such as an engine alternator or battery charger.
• Requires appropriate marine-grade cabling (minimum 2x95mm² (2x 3/0) cables for 500A continuous rating) for optimal performance.
