Blue Sea Systems 3000 Series 500A Battery Selector Switches provide robust and reliable power switching for multi-battery systems. These switches feature tin-plated copper studs for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance, designed to accept large battery cables (up to 4/0 AWG) and multiple cable terminals. The one-piece terminal stud design ensures the studs never loosen, even under heavy use. Compatible with Perko and Guest low amperage battery switch hole patterns, the switches offer flexible mounting options including surface, rear, or front panel. The tactile indicator allows for position confirmation by feel. Waterproof to IP66 rating and ignition protected, these switches are safe for gasoline-powered boats. The make-before-break contact design allows switching between battery banks without power interruption, essential for uninterrupted power management.
