The battery isolator is an essential component for managing the onboard charging system, allowing a single alternator to power two independent batteries without risk of discharge between them. This model supports a maximum load of 120A, ideal for medium-sized electrical installations on recreational and professional vessels.
Advantages
- Prevents cross discharge between batteries.
- Protects both the alternator and batteries from overloads and current returns.
- Easy installation and minimal maintenance.
- Optimizes the lifespan of your batteries by ensuring balanced charging.
Applications and Uses
Recommended for installations on sailboats, motorboats, and any vessel requiring to power and isolate two battery banks (engine and services) from a single charging source.
Operation
The isolator directs the charging current from the alternator to both battery banks, allowing simultaneous charging while preventing them from discharging each other. It is crucial that the alternator capacity does not exceed 120A to ensure system safety and performance.
