The Battery Control Center centralizes power routing from your batteries to end circuits, with the benefit of turn-key security, and BEP's patented lock-switch design. Control all battery switches from one convenient position Ability to isolate all batteries via key switch or designated battery banks via lockable switches LED Status indicators for battery switch status.
Operation: The twin engine battery control centre has a dedicated key switch, which can control both the start and house 701-MD battery switches. This will allow the boat user to conveniently enter the boat and operate all battery isolation switches via a single key switch. Once the engines have been started and the start battery has reached 13.7 / 27.4volts the remote MDVS battery switches will connect the house to the start bank allowing charging current to reach all batteries.

701-MD: Introduction: The Motorised Battery Switch (701-MD) has the same mechanism as the well proven 701. The essential difference being the switching action has been motorised. This permits switching of battery banks remotely. A typical installation is a key operated switch at the helm station and the motorised battery switch installed as close as practical to the battery bank.
Auto Operation: The 701-MD moves from a state of “Auto Off” to “Auto On” when the remotely mounted switch is turned on. During the time that the battery switch is in “Auto On” mode, the “Auto On” LED is illuminated. Auto operation of the Battery Switch is not possible whilst in manual mode. If auto operation is attempted, the LED will flash for 3 seconds then stop. Knob must be returned to “Auto Off” before normal auto operation can continue.
701-MDVS: 1. Introduction: The 701-MDVS (VSS) performs an automated paralleling function during charging which allows two separate batteries to be charged as one. (Typically House and Start) The VSS operates under preset parameters that apply to the charging source currently active, eg. engine charging source or any other charging source. The VSS is able to determine which charging source is operating and applies the appropriate cut in, and cut out voltage settings.
