The REDARC Smart Start SBI212 is a 12-volt DC battery isolator with a 200A continuous rating. It works as a solenoid priority system. It protects the start battery from excessive discharge while the auxiliary battery supplies non-essential loads. The alternator charges the auxiliary battery.
It is designed for extremely heavy-duty operation and is mainly used in commercial vehicle dual battery systems. Electronic components keep the solenoid from generating high voltage transients. It avoids the voltage drop that comes with a diode-type isolator.
The overmold design is compact and easy to install. The contacts are silver for longer life and suit marine applications. The unit has low standby current draw and is fully surge protected. Fault detection with LED indication reports over-voltage, voltage drop and excessive current draw conditions.
