The Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) allows two batteries to be charged
at the same time. When the engine is started and the start battery
reaches 13.7 volts, the VSR engages, allowing two battery banks (start
and house) to be charged simultaneously. When the voltage drops below
12.8 volts (eg the engine is stopped), the VSR disengages, separating
the batteries. This system eliminates the possibility of draining the
start battery and protects sensitive electronic equipment powered from
the house battery from harmful engine start up spikes.
Advantages of fitting a VSR over conventional charge (diode
isolators).
- Easy 3 wire connection at the battery. No need to bypass
existing alternator wiring.
- VSRs have no volt drop. Conventional diode isolators incur a
minimum of 0.6 volt drop.
- Compact size - No large heat sink
- Cost effective solution
