BLUE SEA SYSTEMS Add a Battery Kit Switch

Category: Electronics
Subcategory: Electrical Connections

Eliminate the complexity and worry of managing a dual battery setup in your boat or vehicle with the BLUE SEA SYSTEMS Add a Battery Kit. As a premier solution in marine-grade Switches and electrical management, this kit is engineered to provide a simple, reliable, and fully automated power system. Say goodbye to the fear of a dead starter battery and the hassle of manually switching between battery banks. This system is the ultimate "set it and forget it" solution for ensuring you always have the power you need, right when you need it.

The Add-A-Battery includes a Dual Circuit Plus™ Battery Switch and an Automatic Charging Relay. These components simplify switching and automate charging, so that all you have to do is turn the battery switch ON when you arrive and OFF when you leave. This intuitive operation provides complete peace of mind, protecting your critical engine start battery from being drained by house accessories like stereos, lights, and electronics, while ensuring both batteries are kept optimally charged.

This intelligently designed kit provides the functionality of two separate battery switches and a combiner/isolator in one compact, easy-to-install package. It ensures that your alternator´s charging current is shared efficiently between the starting and auxiliary batteries, charging them simultaneously without the risk of one draining the other. When the engine is started, the system automatically isolates the batteries to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and ensure all power is directed to the cranking motor. Invest in the reliability and convenience that Blue Sea Systems is known for and upgrade your electrical system for safer, more enjoyable adventures.

Features:

Dual Circuit Plus™ Battery Switch:

* Simplifies switching: Provides an intuitive ON/OFF operation for your entire dual battery system.
* Isolates engine and house circuits: Safely separates your starting battery from the house battery to prevent accidental discharge of the starting battery.
* Combines batteries for emergency starting: In the event of a drained starting battery, you can instantly combine both batteries to provide emergency starting power.
* Tin-plated copper studs for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance: Ensures a durable, low-resistance connection for optimal performance and longevity, especially in harsh marine environments.

ACR Automatic Charging Relay:

* Automatically combines batteries during charging: Intelligently senses a charging voltage and connects both batteries so they can be charged by a single source (alternator, battery charger).
* Isolates batteries during engine cranking and when not charging: Protects your engine´s starting circuit and prevents accessories from draining the start battery.
* Shares the charge between two batteries more efficiently than a battery isolator: Manages and distributes charging current to both batteries without the significant voltage drop associated with traditional isolators.
* Allows efficient dual battery charging without needing regulator adjustment or rewiring: Integrates seamlessly into existing electrical systems, making installation straightforward.
