ARCO Marine BI-1603 Battery Isolator f/10-350A Alternators on 12, 24 or 32V Negative Ground Systems [BI-1603]

BI-1603 Battery Isolator for 10-350A Alternators on 12, 24 or 32V Negative Ground Systems

The Arco Marine BI-1603 is an inboard/outboard battery isolator that can handle 1 alternator, 3 batteries, and 160A max. Rated for use with 10 to 350-amp alternators on 12, 24, or 32-volt negative ground systems.

Features:

  • 1 alternator, 3 batteries, 160A max
  • Inboard and outboard battery isolators are solid-state devices that allow electrical current to flow in one direction ONLY, thus permitting the alternator to be connected directly to two batteries without fear of one higher-charged battery discharging into the lower-charged battery.
  • Both batteries are always being charged automatically, in proportion, to their needs whenever the engine is running.
  • When battery isolators are used in conjunction with selector switches, it is not necessary to change the switch position to provide for charging of both batteries.
  • Isolators provide proportioning of the output or charging current on the alternator to the batteries as required, regardless of switch position.

NOTE: Battery Isolators cannot be used on 12 volt charging systems with 24 volt trolling motors or newer outboard engines with rectifier-regulator charging systems.
