The BEP Marine 500A Emergency Parallel Switch is a motorized switch built purely for high-current emergency starting of large engines. It is designed for boaters who need a dedicated way to combine battery banks temporarily to start a large engine off a weak bank.
A momentary dash button activates the parallel connection for 10 minutes, then the switch automatically shuts off, which removes the risk of a start battery going flat because someone left the parallel switch engaged. It's built with tinned copper conductors and marine-grade hardware and can be recessed or surface mounted. Browse more options in our panels, switches, and circuit breakers category.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the parallel connection stay active? It stays engaged for 10 minutes after the dash button is pressed, then shuts off automatically.
What's the maximum cranking rating? It can handle up to 2500A for 10 seconds for emergency starting.
Does this have voltage-sensitive automatic switching? No, this is a manual emergency parallel function only, with no voltage-sensitive operation.
