BEP Mini Battery Selector Switch [701S]

The BEP 701S Mini Battery Selector Switch is the market's most compact option. It offers a simple and cost - effective way to separate two batteries, even though BEP recommends isolated battery systems as per our distribution clusters. The switch undergoes BEP Marine Battery Switch Test Procedures (UL 1107), including continuous (1 hour), intermittent (5 minutes), and cranking (engine starting - 10 seconds) tests. The goal is to find the maximum current it can handle without the rear terminals exceeding 100°C (212°F) above ambient temperature. Continuous and intermittent ratings are tested at 110% of specified ratings, and all BEP switches are independently tested by a third - party lab. It has the same dimensions as the 701, with removable side plates and a back cover. Note that selector switches won't protect electronics from harmful engine starting spikes. It features tin - plated copper studs and nuts and is ignition - protected. Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals like di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), known in California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
