The Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR or ACR Automatic Charging Relay) allows two batteries to be charged at the same time. When the engine is started and the start battery reaches 13.7 volts, the VSR engages, allowing two battery banks (start and house) to be charged simultaneously. When the voltage drops below 12.8 volts (eg the engine is stopped), the VSR disengages, separating the batteries. This system eliminates the possibility of draining the start battery and protects sensitive electronic equipment powered from the house battery from harmful engine start up spikes.

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 Windlass’s, 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.
