31. when the voltage drops below 12 9 volts the processor in the relay assumes that either the engine has been stopped or the load on the aux battery is pulling the starter battery down too much and for safety reasons it should be isolated In a nut shell this is easier to install than the above and is smarter however it suffers from many of the same limitations as the standard signal relay Ideal applications See the above signal relay applications also ideal for charging a secondary battery bank from a battery charger which has only one output such as a combined inverter charger The starter motor interlock connection prevents the starter motor current being pulled through the relay and damaging the relay Its limitations See the above limitations for the signal relay Another major problem with standard relays is their ability to switch off under high load The main job of a voltage sensitive relay is to sense any major current being taken out of the starter battery primary and to stop it For example if we take a typical 12V boat system with an 80 amp alternator and install a standard 80 amp VSR on the engine starter battery bank to charge the secondary battery domestic battery bank anchor winch or bow thruster battery bank On engine start up the alternator will raise the voltage on the starter battery and this will engage the relay to charge the secondary battery bank so far so good However for the sake of argument say the secondary battery bank
