Perko Battery Switch

PERKO Medium Duty Battery Switch

Take complete command of your boat´s or vehicle´s electrical system with the industry-renowned PERKO Medium Duty Battery Switch. An essential component for any multi-battery installation, this switch is expertly designed to provide reliable power management, enhanced safety, and ultimate peace of mind. Whether you´re running a single or dual engine system, this switch simplifies the complex task of managing two or more batteries, ensuring you always have the power you need, right where you need it.

Gain unparalleled flexibility and control over your power sources. This robust battery selector permits you to isolate and choose between individual batteries for starting the engine or for charging. You can dedicate one battery for engine cranking, keeping it fresh and fully charged, while using a second battery to run accessories. If you need an extra boost for a difficult start, the ´BOTH´ position allows you to combine the power of both batteries in parallel, maximizing your cranking amperage. This intelligent design prevents the frustrating scenario of a dead starting battery due to onboard accessory use.

Engineered for expansion, this PERKO switch is the perfect foundation for growing your electrical system. It allows for the seamless addition of an extra battery, creating a dedicated house bank for power-hungry accessories like high-output stereos, GPS units, fish finders, and lighting. This isolates your engine´s critical starting power from your auxiliary power needs, ensuring reliability when it matters most.

Safety is a core feature of the PERKO design. The positive-action ´OFF´ position functions as a vital emergency disconnect. In the unfortunate event of an electrical problem, short circuit, or fire, a single, decisive turn of the knob completely cuts off the power supply from the batteries, helping to protect your vessel and its occupants. Furthermore, the switch is ignition protected, making it safe for installation within gasoline engine compartments and compliant with marine safety standards. The simple surface mount design ensures a clean and straightforward installation on any suitable bulkhead.

Built to handle demanding marine and automotive environments, this switch is a testament to PERKO´s commitment to quality and durability.
