It is a simple safeguard for boats, RVs and vans with alternator charging, and works with any suitable alternator or splitting device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a cable comes loose, a fuse blows or a battery switch is turned off while the engine runs, the alternator suddenly loses its load and throws a large voltage spike that can ruin its regulator, along with any advanced regulator. This unit gives that spike a safe path to discharge, with no back feed. It does not carry the main charging current, so only light wiring is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects the alternator regulator and advanced regulators from disconnect spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo back feed through the device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not carry main current, so light-gauge wiring is enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits without changing the standard charging system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e APD12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 x 90 x 60 mm (3.5 x 3.5 x 2.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 kg (0.55 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Sterling Power with Sterling Power's warranty.
