- Simple ON/OFF operation for fast, positive battery isolation without tools.
- Compact and lightweight at 232g, suitable for panel mounting in confined spaces.
- Robust contact design rated to handle the high inrush currents typical of inverter and motor loads.
- Compatible with standard busbar and battery main switch installations in marine, motorhome and off-grid applications.
- SKU VBS127010010 with GTIN 8719076052258 for straightforward procurement and stock management.
Product Overview
A battery isolation switch is a fundamental safety component in any DC system. It allows the battery bank to be completely disconnected from the rest of the electrical circuit, which is essential during maintenance, when the vehicle or vessel is laid up, or in the event of a fault. The 275A rating means this switch can handle the sustained current demands of inverters, bow thrusters, winches and other high-draw equipment without thermal degradation of the contacts.
The ON/OFF design keeps operation straightforward. There is no rotary selector or multiple positions to misread: the switch is either open or closed. This matters in emergency situations where a crew member or technician needs to isolate the system quickly. The compact form factor makes it practical to mount in battery compartments, distribution panels or engine bays where space is limited.

Installation Notes
This switch should be installed by a competent electrician or qualified marine/vehicle electrical engineer. Ensure all connections are correctly torqued and that cable sizing is appropriate for the 275A rating before commissioning. Isolate all loads before fitting or removing the switch. For installations forming part of a grid-connected or MCS-accredited solar system, work should be carried out by a qualified installer.
