BI-1603 Battery Isolator - 160A - 1 Alternator, 3 Battery
The Arco Marine BI-1603 is an inboard/outboard battery isolator that can handle 1 alternator, 3 batteries, and 160A max. Rated for use with 10 to 350-amp alternators on 12, 24, or 32-volt negative ground systems.
Features:
- 1 alternator, 3 batteries, 160A max
- Inboard and outboard battery isolators are solid-state devices that allow electrical current to flow in one direction ONLY, thus permitting the alternator to be connected directly to two batteries without fear of one higher-charged battery discharging into the lower-charged battery.
- Both batteries are always being charged automatically, in proportion, to their needs whenever the engine is running.
- When battery isolators are used in conjunction with selector switches, it is not necessary to change the switch position to provide for charging of both batteries.
- Isolators provide proportioning of the output or charging current on the alternator to the batteries as required, regardless of switch position.
NOTE: Battery Isolators cannot be used on 12 volt charging systems with 24 volt trolling motors or newer outboard engines with rectifier-regulator charging systems.

The ARCO Marine BI-1603 Battery Isolator is designed for reliable power management in marine applications. Capable of supporting 1 alternator and 3 batteries with a maximum output of 160A, this isolator ensures efficient charging and optimal performance. Compatible with 10 to 350-amp alternators on 12, 24, or 32-volt negative ground systems, it provides a seamless solution for both inboard and outboard setups.
Constructed as a solid-state device, the BI-1603 allows electrical current to flow in one direction only, preventing higher-charged batteries from discharging into lower-charged ones. This feature guarantees that both batteries are charged proportionally according to their needs whenever the engine is running. Furthermore, when used with selector switches, there's no need to change switch positions to maintain battery charging.
The ARCO Marine BI-1603 Battery Isolator is essential for boaters who want to maximize their battery life and performance. Please note that this product is not suitable for use with 12-volt charging systems that have 24-volt trolling motors or newer outboard engines with rectifier-regulator charging systems.
