    Thanks for your explanations! I have a question: where does the ARC positive connect to the on/of connector (one in 1 position a one in 2 position, but 1 there are two screws and the same for 2 position)? Each distribution, motor and services has two screws to connect the line. thanks for clarifying it for me.

Problem...when the switch is in off position rocker panel still works. I cant figure out what I may have done wrong. Is it the smart charger?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

    I believe there is a serious design fault with this battery isolator. What happens if the auxiliary battery circuit shorts out by whatever means - a cable short, equipment fault, battery shorts or explodes on its own, (as I have witnessed) fuse or circuit breaker malfunctions, or whatever? You switch off the Blue Seas Battery isolator immediately which cuts the power to both circuits. But now, you can't switch on the starter battery to start the engine and get out of trouble because the isolator will also automatically connect and send power to both circuits including the faulty one, at the same time. So now, you can't restart your engine or return the boat to safety because you will be sending power to both circuits including the faulty one as soon as you switch to 'ON'. Heaven help you if you are close to the rocks etc and no time or access to find the fault or disconnect cables etc. "Old fashioned" use of two separate isolator switches would eliminate this serious issue altogether as the starting circuit can be engaged while the auxiliary remains disconnected from its circuit. I'm not convinced this is a safe product.

    I just bought that 3 screw switch you showed and I think it will be fine I’m using it for 2 batteries in a car to run an audio system in trunk. It clearly allows me to pick and choose which battery I would like to charge when engine is running and the ability to charge both at same time and when I’m done driving I can turn it off and use it as a kill switch so no one can steal my car and avoid any parasitic battery drains if I don’t drive for a few weeks or months.

    I have this exact same set up on my 2017 Supreme S226, and all of a sudden that dial free spins and doesn't actually work. I went to the off position and found that the boat would still turn on. Today, the boat has no power but if I wiggle it a bit, I could find a spot where it provided power, but of course something's wrong. Not sure what to do when the dial doesn't work regardless of the position it's in.

      @@TxRiverElf if you are adding the ACR you need to change the 3 prong big red switch to the 4 prong big red switch so you can manually isolate the batteries when charging at home out of the water. Or it looks like to me maybe installing the ML-ACR that has the manual switch built into the ACR on top. I am fixing to add a second battery myself and trying to decide on the SI-ACR or the ML-ACR. See, the big red switch essentially does what the ACR does but it is risky switching the big red switch while engine is running because of sudden spike when switching can burn out your engine ECM or engine rectifier. This switch does it safely because of how it works

    • @TxRiverElf

      zash ... thanks truly for responding... but I don’t think this set up you are promoting is for me. Many boaters may need it to avoid being stranded without power, due to failing to monitor their switch position. This would not apply to me. I do not have a boat; I have a converted bus with an onboard distribution panel and with intelligent charging... which IS working great for my house battery, when plugged into shore power.. Plus I have a battery isolator, already, that automatically charges both banks, when the motor is running. I do not foresee any reason to run my motor except to relocate... in which case I would be taking standard Prep measures to disconnect electric and water hookups. Having the 3 prong switch on hand... and not looking to buy more stuff... I don’t see way it can not be used to offer a Shore Power Charging opportunity... for my starting bank as well... ... by simply switching either between the already established house battery to charger connection... to a connection to the start battery... and ONLY WITH ENGINE OFF... of course... as something to do prior to take off, for short layovers... Or ... in the event of longer parking... switch to the “both” setting... ... so shore power charging can keep both battery banks TOPPED OFF. Prior to starting the engine... for relocation... I would simply switch back to House Bank Only... ... so any loads to the distribution fuse panel... like interior lights and radio... would draw only from the house bank. Again... park... engine off... shore connected... THEN switch to BOTH.... to charge both banks... Time to leave... disconnect shore hookups... switch to house bank... start engine... ease on down the road. If I add in solar... in the future... things would expand accordingly... but until then... I think the old system of hands on control switching will work for me. I may even make a rather Splenda pilot’s checklist... 😂... left ON THE STEERING WHEEL... to ensure that I follow proper procedure. Best regards!!

      I have a dual on-board charger and thought the same question then it occurred to me to keep the old 3 prong big red battery switch and place it between the second battery and the ACR so when charging at home both batteries can be manually isolated. THEN i found the BlueSeas ACR that has the big yellow manual switch on top. That's the one that you can manually switch also to force the ACR to isolate the 2 batteries for charging at home.
