Manually disconnect high current lines. This switch is typically used between a combiner box and a charge controller, or between a battery bank and an inverter.
Continuous Rating: 300A
Intermittent Rating: 500A (5 min)
Maximum Voltage: 48Vdc
Dimensions: 2 7/8"H x 2 7/8"W x 3 1/4"D
Manually disconnect high current lines. This switch is typically used between a battery bank and an inverter.
We recommend this with the 3000VA Victron Inverter systems. This switch is slightly larger and with a higher current rating than the High Current On/Off Mini Switch (6006). We recommend using this switch with 3000VA inverters because of the larger contact areas within the switch when compared to the 6006.
The 5000VA 12V inverters would need a more heavy-duty switch.
Specifications:
Continuous Rating: 350A
Intermittent Rating: 600A (5 min)
Maximum Voltage: 48Vdc
Dimensions: 3 7/8"H x 3 7/8"W x 3"D

Cable, Lugs, and Heat Shrink needed to connect two batteries in parallel or series, depending on kit choice. These kits are ideal for 12V batteries.
This kit allows for manual disconnect of high current battery lines. Ideal for isolating battery banks by interrupting output circuits on your battery bank. For use when putting a system with DC charging input into medium-long term storage, or for O&M of the battery bank. This switch is typically used between a battery bank and a post or fuse that all the positive connections attach to.
We offer kits for systems with 2000VA or 3000VA inverters.
Please note, the 5000VA 12V inverters would need a more heavy-duty switch.

Intermittent Rating: 600A (5 min)/500A
Maximum Voltage: 48Vdc/48Vdc
Dimensions: 3 7/8"H x 3 7/8"W x 3"D / 2 7/8"H x 2 7/8"W x 3 1/4"D
Victron Cyrix battery combiners connect your house battery bank to your starter battery and alternator to allow alternator charging. Additionally, when a charge is applied to a house battery bank the Cyrix will close and allow current to flow to the starter battery. Select an appropriate Cyrix based on your house battery type and alternator current rating.
Alternator 160A or less - 120A Cyrix
Alternator more than 160A - 230A Cyrix
Manually disconnect alternator charging to your house battery bank. Ideal for Sprinter conversions.
