The REDARC Smart Start SBI212 battery isolator is a heavy-duty 12-volt solenoid priority system designed to manage dual-battery applications in commercial vehicles, powersports equipment, marine systems, and other auxiliary battery installations. With a continuous 200-amp rating, the SBI212 helps protect the vehicle’s starter battery from excessive discharge while allowing the auxiliary battery to supply power to non-essential accessories and loads.
Using the vehicle alternator, the REDARC Smart Start SBI212 automatically supports auxiliary battery charging without the voltage drop associated with diode-style battery isolators. Its power-saving technology provides an efficient way to maintain a secondary battery while preserving starting power. The isolator is engineered for demanding operating conditions and features silver contacts for extended service life and reliable performance in marine environments.
The SBI212 includes sophisticated fault detection and LED operation indication to help identify over-voltage, voltage-drop, and excessive-current conditions. Electronic protection helps prevent high-voltage transients when the solenoid engages or disengages, while full surge protection supports dependable operation in demanding electrical systems. Its compact overmolded design simplifies installation and provides durable protection for internal components.
