Smart Start
®
SBI Battery Isolators
Designed primarily for use in 4WD and commercial
vehicles with a dual battery setup, the Smart Start
®
SBI ensures that a low charge in the secondary
battery won’t drain the primary battery.
It is available in four models; 12 or 24 volt DC
incorporating 100 or 200 amp continuous ratings.
The 200 amp models are designed for extremely
heavy-duty operations, as found in industrial and
mining situations
The Smart Start
®
SBI monitors the start battery
and the charging system. When the start battery
reaches 13.2 volts on a 12 volt system (26.4 volts
on a 24 volt system) the solenoid will connect the
auxiliary battery to the charging system. Once
the engine has been turned off the Smart Start
®
SBI monitors the start battery voltage and, when
this drops below 12.7volts on a 12 volt system
(25.4volts on a 24volt system), the solenoid
will turn off, isolating the start battery from the
auxiliarybattery.
The Smart Start
®
SBI features sophisticated fault
detection and LED indication of operation to warn
the user of faults that include over-voltage, voltage
drop and excessive current draw conditions. It also
features power saving technology. This means the
unit will only draw approximately 120 milliamps
when on and generate less heat allowing it to
operate at a much cooler temperature.
The Smart Start
®
SBI is better than a diode battery
isolator due to the voltage drop associated with
diode type isolation.
The solenoid features silver contacts for longer life
and is suitable for marine applications.
The Smart Start
®
SBI incorporates electronic
components that will prevent the solenoid from
generating high voltage transients making it ideal
for use on modern vehicles fitted with computer
control systems.

Dual sensing Smart Start
®
models
SBIXXD models isolate the start and auxiliary
batteries when the auxiliary battery may also
becharged by an external source, like solar.
They allow the start battery to be charged by the
external source once the auxiliary battery reaches
13.2 volts - useful to top up the start battery from
a solar charge source or an external AC battery
charger connected to the house or auxiliary
battery. They operate as standard SBIs
when the start battery terminal of the
SBI receives more than 13.2volts (12V
system) or 26.4 volts (24V system).

dual battery isolator
and wiring kit
The Smart Start
®
Dual Battery Isolator
and Wiring Kit (part number SBI12KIT)
has everything needed to install a Smart
Start
®
Dual Battery Isolator including
the Smart Start
®
itself. It requires no
crimping or soldering, it’s just plug and
play. The SBI12KIT features high
quality MIDI 60 amp fuses
and MTA fuse holders with
the corresponding ring
terminals already attached
to the wires.
