It offers 1, 2, Both, and Off operation, letting the operator select either battery bank individually, run both together, or shut off battery power entirely. The switch body is molded from high-strength, fiber reinforced plastic engineered for strong high-temperature performance and resistance to onboard chemicals and fuels. Tin-plated copper studs and nuts resist corrosion and maintain a solid electrical connection over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree removable side panels give access for running cables up to 1\/0 gauge, and a rear cover insulates the rear terminals to guard against short circuits, helping the switch meet ABYC requirements. The BEP 701S is ignition protected and can be surface mounted or recess mounted by cutting a 2.1 inch hole. Please note that, like other selector switches, the BEP 701S does not separate connected electronics from harmful engine starting voltage spikes, so sensitive electronics should be wired accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated 200 Amps DC continuous, 300 Amps DC intermittent (5 minutes), and 1000 Amps DC cranking (10 seconds) at 48 Volts DC, the BEP 701S suits dual-battery-bank boats needing a simple, economical way to manage two banks from one compact switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
