ADD A BATTERY works just as easily as an ON-OFF switch and allows two batteries to be charged from a single power source. ADD A BATTERY is easy to use and install and can be used with generators with a maximum output of 120 amps. ADD A BATTERY consists of a battery switch and an automatic charging relay. These components simplify charging and switching between batteries, so that you can turn the battery switch ON when you arrive and turn it OFF when you leave the boat.
Battery switch
- Simplifies switching
- Isolates starter and consumer battery
- Combines both batteries in emergencies to start the engine
Automatic charging relay
- Connects both batteries automatically when charging
- Isolates the batteries when the engine is started and when the batteries are not being charged
- Divides the charging current more effectively than a conventional battery switch
Note
The charging relay is designed for use in wiring systems with lead-acid battery types (also AGM and gel).
It monitors voltage levels matched to lead-acid battery types and automatically switches on or off at specific levels.
We strongly advise against using this relay in conjunction with LiFe(Y)PO4 batteries, as the higher nominal voltage or working voltage range of lithium batteries is not compatible with the levels for lead-acid types.
