Newmar BI-100 12v Battery Integrator

Charges two separate banks without voltage drop

The Newmar BI-100 12v Battery Integrator acts as a “smart” switch to connect independent battery banks only when a charging voltage is present. Otherwise, they are isolated, and discharge between banks is prevented. This battery integrator causes no voltage drop in the charging system, while the multiple batteries are charged as a single bank whenever a charging source of approximately 13.2 VDC or 26.4 VDC or greater is present.

When the alternator or charger is off or a large load causes the voltage to drop below the disconnect point the unit breaks the common tie between the banks. This allows selective battery discharge and prevents “dumping” of a higher-charged bank into a lower-charged bank. The unit may also be remotely activated to connect other batteries through the key starter or a manual switch to provide an added “boost” from the secondary battery whenever the starter is engaged and the unit senses there is sufficient voltage in that battery to provide an assist.

Newmar BI-100 12v Battery Integrator Features:

• Enables charging of two separate banks with out voltage drop, yet maintains 100% isolation at all other times. For systems of three banks or more, an additional unit must be installed for each additional bank
  
• Heavy duty silver-plated contactor, continuous duty rated to 100 amps or 200 amp depending on model
  
• Voltage sense circuit, epoxy encapsulated and heavy duty continuous rated solenoid are all designed for use in marine environments
  
• 12 volt, 100 amp model has ignition protection rating
  
• Easy three-wire hook up for two bank systems (BATT +, BATT +, GROUND)
  
• Terminal for optional wiring of remote light indicating when battery banks are integrated
