Unlike a simple manual battery switch such as the BEP 701-MD, the 720-MDO model includes a motor and control electronics, allowing the switch to be placed as close as possible to the batteries. This significantly reduces the length, cross-section, and cost of high-current wiring. It differs from the 720-MD-EP model by its Emergency Parallel function, which, when activated remotely, temporarily connects two batteries for emergency starting. This function is automatically disabled after 10 minutes to prevent discharge of the service battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemote control and emergency parallel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 720-MDO is operated using a remote key switch (not included). Its automatic mode allows precise control of the battery state: LED off for off, LED on for on. The Emergency Parallel function is a major safety feature: in case of a discharged starting battery, the user can activate a temporary 10-minute parallel connection to start the engine. This timer prevents any oversight and protects service batteries. Unlike the 720-MD-EP model, which only offers on\/off switching, the 720-MDO provides an additional backup function without requiring complex wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications and robustness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a continuous rating of 500 A, an intermittent rating of 700 A, and a cranking current of 2500 A, this battery switch is perfectly suited for high-power engines. Its tinned copper and stainless steel construction, combined with an IP65 protection rating, ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and humid marine environments. The operating voltage range is 8 to 32 V DC, making it compatible with 12 V and 24 V systems, provided both batteries are of the same voltage. The housing can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted, offering great installation flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 720-MDO connects via two 12 mm studs (1\/2 inch) for the main circuit and a 7-wire control harness. The recommended tightening torque is 18 Nm (maximum 25 Nm). Its UL 1107 certification (ignition protection) makes it safe for installation in engine compartments. Compared to competitors such as Blue Sea Systems remote switches, the BEP 720-MDO stands out with its timed Emergency Parallel function and low standby power consumption (5 mA at 12 V).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BEP Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55721061908820,"sku":"720-MDO","price":269.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/b303i3zq_img-01.jpg?v=1778055625","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/bep-battery-switch-720-mdo-500a-motorized-switch","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
