Blue Sea 8689 m-Series Dual Circuit Plus 2 Panel

Description

The Blue Sea Systems 8689 m-Series Dual Circuit Plus 2, part number 6011, is the m-Series take on twin engine battery management. One 100A C-Series flat rocker breaker provides main DC protection, and three 15A push button thermal breakers cover 24 hour circuits.

Three protected 24 hour circuits rather than the four on the larger e-Series version, which is the practical difference between the two. For most twin engine boats three covers the loads that need to stay live around the clock: bilge pump, bilge alarm, and one spare for a float switch or an alarm panel.

Function is otherwise the same. The engine circuit stays isolated from the house circuit so the banks discharge independently, with an emergency cross connect available when a bank has been run down. Keeping the engine side separate protects electronics from the sags and spikes that come with cranking. Battery switch operation is simpler than a conventional setup, and adding an Automatic Charging Relay automates charging across both banks. The 4218 square format labels and 4140 24 hour round labels are included. See more marine electrical panels.
