The VSR (voltage sense relay) senses charging voltage and links batteries when the alternator output reaches 13.3V, then isolates them at 12.8V, so your starting battery stays reserved for engine cranking while auxiliary batteries are charged during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this split charge relay protect my starter battery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relay automatically separates the starter and auxiliary batteries when engine charging drops below the cut-out threshold, preventing auxiliary drains from flattening the starter battery. This preserves starting power and reduces the risk of being stranded due to a depleted starter battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic cut-in at 13.3V and cut-out at 12.8V for hands-free protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140A continuous current capacity to support high charging loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIsolates batteries when vehicle is off to prevent parasitic drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65 rated enclosure shields electronics from dust and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the kit and how easy is installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the relay plus all the wiring and fittings you need for a standard dual-battery installation, making it straightforward for DIYers or technicians to fit without sourcing extra parts.
