Battery Master Switch
Control your boat’s battery connection with part 700160, a battery selector designed around the stated operating positions.
The selector format lets the battery arrangement be controlled at a dedicated switch. Check the operating positions and wiring diagram against the intended single- or dual-battery setup before installation.
Check the stated body dimensions and terminal access against the proposed mounting location. Allow enough room for the connected battery cables and for normal operation of the switch.
Continuous, intermittent and cranking figures describe different operating conditions. Keep any stated time limits and voltage conditions with their corresponding ratings when comparing switches; the highest number does not describe the allowable continuous load.
The alternator field-disconnect feature is part of this switch’s design. It must be integrated with a compatible alternator circuit according to the installation requirements; check that arrangement when replacing another master switch.
Choosing and using this product
For this version, size: 140mm x 65mm high. Use that specific detail when comparing the item with your existing equipment or planned installation. Other sizes and configurations in the range should be checked separately rather than treated as equivalent.
Choose the component for the actual circuit and power supply. Compare the stated voltage, current rating and switching or connection function with the equipment it will serve. A similar faceplate or connector shape does not establish the same electrical specification.
Keep circuit labels and the fitted product reference with the boat’s electrical records. This makes later fault-finding and replacement enquiries more straightforward. Before returning equipment to use, check the completed installation and its operation using the applicable instructions.
Plan the component together with the circuit wiring and protection. Follow the equipment instructions for the required connections and ratings, and keep the installation accessible for inspection. A component rating should not be treated as the rating of the entire assembled circuit.
