BEP Battery Switch Cluster with Digital VSR
Two Engines with Three Battery Banks 114078 (SUR 718-140A-DVSR)
Two Engines - Three Battery Banks
The 718-140A-DVSR is designed for twin inboard systems when it is not practical to have both engine alternators in parallel because of the types of regulators used on these alternators. The house battery is charged from the port engine when the VSR is engaged.
THE 718 SYSTEM INCLUDES dedicated battery switches for each bank and a 710-140A voltage sensitive relay (VSR). The VSR allows for two batteries to be charged at the same time. When the engine is started, and the start battery reaches 13.7 Volts, the relay closes, Combining the battery banks (Port start and house) and allowing them to be charged simultaneously. When the engine is stopped and the voltage drops to 12.8 Volts, the relay will open separating the batteries. This system eliminates the possibility of draining the wrong battery and protects sensitive electrical equipment powered from the house battery from harmful engine start up spikes. The 718 cluster is designed for twin inboard systems when it is not practical to have both engines alternators in parallel because of the types of regulators used on these alternators.

The 700 Series Battery Distribution Products by BEP Marine have revolutionised the way battery distribution systems are set up in the marine and recreational vehicle market. Battery distribution is becoming an increasingly complex area with the addition of so many more accessories such as DC-AC Inverters, Anchor Windlasses, Davit and Halyard Winches and a host of other products. This area has become a mass of Master Switches, Fuse Holders, Power Studs etc. BEP Marine has seen a need to make this area a lot more installation and user friendly.
These units are part of BEP Marine's latest range of products utilising the new Contour lock system (United States Patent #6,226,174) allowing you to expand your system as you require whilst conforming to ABYC Specifications regarding battery isolation, heavy duty circuit protection and distribution.
