BI-100 Battery IntegratorCharging multiple battery banks without the use of diode isolators dictates that the batteries be connected or “integrated” only whenever a charge voltage is present so that they may be charged simultaneously, then disconnected or “isolated” when the charge voltage is no longer present to allow for selective discharge and avoid having the secondary or standby battery drain into the primary battery.Battery integrators perform this function automatically, acting as a “smart” switch to connect independent battery banks only when a charging voltage is present. Otherwise, they are isolated, and discharge between banks is prevented.The Battery Integrator causes no voltage drop in the charging system, while the multiple batteries are charged as a single bank whenever a charging source of approximately 13.2 VDC or 26.4 VDC or greater is present (depending on the model).When the alternator or charger is off or a large load causes the voltage to drop below the disconnect point, the unit breaks the common tie between the banks. This allows selective battery discharge and prevents the “dumping” of a higher-charged bank into a lower-charged bank. The unit may also be remotely activated to connect other batteries through the key starter or a manual switch to provide an added “boost” from the secondary battery whenever the starter is engaged and the unit senses there is sufficient voltage in that battery to provide an assist.Features: Enables charging of two separate banks without voltage drop yet maintains 100% isolation at all other times. For systems of three banks or more, an additional unit must be installed for each additional bank Heavy-duty silver-plated contactor, continuous duty rated to 100 Amps or 200 Amps depending on model Voltage sense circuits, epoxy-encapsulated, and heavy-duty continuous-rated solenoids are all designed for use in marine environments 12 volt, 100 amp model has an ignition protection rating Has ignition protection rating Easy three-wire hookup for two bank systems (BATT +, BATT +, GROUND) Terminal for optional wiring of a remote light indicating when battery banks are integrated Optional internal connections can be wired through the key starter or manual override switch, tying battery banks together for an extra boost during engine start Specifications: Terminals: Battery Connections: 5/16 in. copper alloy stud Approvals: CE Marked Dimensions (H x W x D): 100 Amp Models: 3 x 3.25 x 2.5 inches Weight: 1 lb.

Charge Mate Pro Lithium 40Current limited electronic charge relay with high efficiency and reverse current protectionA secondary battery on board requires a dedicated charging solution. The Charge Mate Pro charging relay makes it possible to distribute the charger or alternator current effectively between two battery banks such as a starter and a service battery. The Charge Mate Pro connects both batteries during charging and keeps them isolated when discharging. This significantly reduces the risk of a flat starter battery for example.The Charge Mate Pro offers an additional advantage over mechanical charge relays, by limiting the charge current to the second battery. The primary battery, like a starter battery, is therefore charged with priority. The return current is automatically blocked even when the secondary battery has a higher voltage. An emergency start function is possible by connecting an optional bypass switch to the Charge Master Pro.A marine application example is the connection of a bow thruster battery to a service battery. The Charge Mate Pro ensures that the service battery is always charged with priority. The blocking of the return current from the bow thruster battery guarantees that the bow battery remains charged while the current limiting also prevents power dips of the onboard electrical network.The Charge Mate Pro series consists of a 40 Amp and a 90 Amp version, both suitable for charger or alternator applications. Charge Mate Pro: for controlled charging from a single source.Applications:Leisure and professional marine and mobile applications. An effective solution for high power demand on board and/or the need for prioritized or current limited charging.Features: Electronic charge coupling with very low voltage drop. Makes effective dual charging possible. Suitable for charging from Lithium starter batteries to AGM/GEL/Lithium service batteries. Charge current secondary battery limited to 40 A.

Digtal Voltage Sensing Relay (DVSR) - 12/24VThe Digital Voltage Sensing Relay (DVSR) allows the charging of a second battery bank from any single charging source. When the voltage on the charged bank rises sufficiently, the DVSR engages allowing the 2nd battery bank to charge. When charging stops and voltage falls, the DVSR automatically isolates the battery banks, ensuring that engine start batteries are kept fully charged. Digital circuitry provides superior reliability and extremely low power consumption. Digital enhancements have introduced remote sensing circuitry that allows an optional connection from the ignition switch to provide the same functionality as single sense VSR and zero power consumption when engine is off. Another benefit is a zero stand by current draw when remote sensing circuit is utilized with a storage mode switch fitted (switch in open position).Features: Safely charge two or more independent battery banks from one charge source such as an alternator or battery charger Charges engine starting batteries before combining auxiliary bank for charging Protects start batteries from becoming flattened by domestic loads Isolates electronics from harmful electrical surges from starter motors Simple to install 3 wire connection leaves alternator wiring intact No volt drop vs diode isolators Ignition protected Surface or panel mountable Replaces previous models 710-125A and 710-125A-DS Multi voltage, auto selects between 12 and 24V DC operation Digital circuits provide very low power consumption and enhanced performance Remote status LED output option WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp) which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Battery BalancerThe Battery Balancer equalizes the state of charge of two series connected 12V batteries, or of several parallel strings of series connected batteries. When the charge voltage of a 24V battery system increases to more than 27V, the Battery Balancer will turn on and compare the voltage over the two series connected batteries. The Battery Balancer will draw a current of up to 1A from the battery (or parallel connected batteries) with the highest voltage. The resulting charge current differential will ensure that all batteries will converge to the same state of charge.If needed, several balancers can be paralleled. A 48V battery bank can be balanced with three Battery Balancers.WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Smart BatteryProtect - 220AMP - 6-35 VDC - Bluetooth CapableFeatures: Protects the battery against excessive discharge and can be used as a system on/off switch The Smart BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. The on/off input can be used as a system on/off switch.  12/24V auto ranging The Smart BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage one time only.  Bluetooth: programming made easy When using Bluetooth to program the Smart BatteryProtect any required engage/disengage levels can be set. Alternatively, one of nine predefined engage/disengage levels can be set with the programming pin (see manual). If required, Bluetooth can be disabled.  A special setting for Li-ion batteries In this mode the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS. Note: the BatteryProtect can also be used as a charge interrupter in between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery. See connection diagram in the manual. Ultra-low current consumption This is important in case of Li-ion batteries, especially after low voltage shutdown. Please see our Li-ion battery datasheet and the VE.Bus BMS manual for more information.  Over voltage protection To prevent damage to sensitive loads due to over voltage, the load is disconnected whenever the DC voltage exceeds 16.3V respectively 32.6V.  Ignition proof No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks.  Delayed alarm output The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level during more than 12 seconds. Starting the engine will therefore not activate the alarm. The alarm output is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative (minus) rail, max. current 50 mA. The alarm output is typically used to activate a buzzer, LED or relay.  Delayed load disconnect and delayed reconnect The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the battery voltage drops below the preset level. If the battery voltage increases again to the connect threshold within this time period (after the engine has been started for example), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased to more than the preset reconnect voltage.
