The Sterling Power VSR160 Pro Connect is an automatic 160A voltage sensitive split-charge relay for 12V and 24V systems. It is for boats, RVs, vans and trucks that need the alternator or a charger to feed a second battery bank, such as house, windlass or bow-thruster batteries.
It needs no ignition wire in its default mode: when it sees more than 13.3V, it assumes a charging source is running and joins the batteries, then separates them again when the voltage falls so house loads cannot drain the starter battery. By default it works in both directions, so a single-output inverter/charger on the house bank can also top up the engine battery. A starter-motor interlock keeps cranking current out of the relay, and spark suppression helps protect the contacts. For banks that may see loads far beyond the relay rating, Sterling recommends a current-limiting relay instead.
