Battery Isolators
Dual Battery Charging Systems
NOTE: Mercury MerCruiser engines equipped with a 3-wire, belt driven alternator, can use
a battery isolator.
Battery isolators allow the addition of an auxiliary (second) battery to the Mercury MerCruis-
er electrical system. The auxiliary battery is primarily used as a power source for various
accessories installed on the boat. The battery isolator will allow the alternator to charge both
the cranking and auxiliary batteries at the same time while preventing accessories, con-
nected to the auxiliary battery, from drawing power from the cranking battery.
Mercury Marine does not manufacture any battery isolator systems. Battery isolators must
be bought from an outside manufacturer. Mercury Marine suggests following the manufac-
turer’s instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT: Alternators used on Mercury MerCruiser engines ARE NOT equipped
with an isolation diode.
CAUTION
Follow battery isolator manufacturer’s instructions for wire gauge. Battery isolator
installation must conform to BIA Low Voltage Wiring Standard No. 125-79.
