Samlex Battery separator 160A

SAMLEX Battery Separator 160A | Automatic Dual Battery Management

Product Title: SAMLEX 160A Automatic Battery Separator | 12V/24V Dual-Sensing Isolator

Ensure you always have starting power and efficiently manage your dual battery system with the SAMLEX 160A Battery Separator. Designed for rugged applications in RVs, marine vessels, commercial trucks, and emergency vehicles, this intelligent device provides a reliable, automated solution to charging and isolating multiple battery banks. Say goodbye to the worry of a drained starter battery and the complexity of manual switches. This separator acts as a smart relay, automatically connecting your auxiliary battery to the starter battery and alternator only when a charge is present, and isolating them when the engine is off to protect your critical starting power.

Key Benefits:

* Protect Your Starter Battery: The primary function is to prevent your auxiliary loads (lights, fridge, inverters) from draining your engine´s starting battery. It automatically disconnects the batteries when the charging voltage drops, ensuring you´re never left stranded.
* Fully Automatic Operation: Enjoy a true "set it and forget it" experience. The microprocessor-controlled unit intelligently detects when your vehicle´s alternator or a battery charger is active and bridges the batteries for combined charging. No manual intervention is required.
* Optimized Charging for Both Batteries: By connecting the batteries in parallel during charging, it ensures both your starter and auxiliary battery banks receive a full and efficient charge from a single source, maximizing their performance and lifespan.
* Enhanced System Versatility: With dual-sensing capability, the separator allows charging to flow in either direction. If your auxiliary battery is being charged by a solar panel or shore power converter, the separator will engage to top off your starter battery as well.
* Emergency Start Assist: In the event of a weak starter battery, a manual override connection allows you to temporarily bridge both batteries, using the power of the auxiliary bank to help start your engine.

Main Features:

* Intelligent microprocessor control for precise voltage sensing and switching.
* Automatic detection and operation for both 12V and 24V DC electrical systems.
* Extremely low voltage drop thanks to MOSFET technology, ensuring efficient power transfer without significant loss.
* Dual-sensing functionality prioritizes charging for either battery bank.
* Bright LED status indicator provides at-a-glance information on the connection status (connected, disconnected, voltage level).
* Built to withstand harsh vibrations, moisture, and demanding environments typical of mobile and marine applications.
* Features over-temperature protection for enhanced safety and durability.
