REDARC recommend using the SBI12-BLD
as the 12V relay for setting up the Load
Disconnect Feature for Non-Essential Loads.
Similarly, the SBI12-LLD is recommended
for use between the Auxiliary battery and the
Essential Loads in a Lithium Battery setup,
to protect the Lithium battery from excessive
discharge.
