Battery Isolators - Electrical, Lighting and Power
Marine battery isolators separate battery banks while permitting controlled charging or manual disconnection. They prevent unintended battery discharge and provide safe isolation of DC circuits for operation, emergency shutdown, and maintenance.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Battery Isolators for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable references include ISO 8846 for ignition protection, ISO 10133 for extra-low-voltage DC installations on small craft, UL 1107 for marine battery switches, and ABYC E-11 for AC and DC electrical systems. Compliance depends on the specific model. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Class acceptance is model- and vessel-specific. Equipment may require approval or survey acceptance by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK when installed in classed vessels; verify the manufacturer's current type-approval certificate. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in an accessible, dry location close to the battery bank. Use correctly sized marine-grade cables, insulated terminals, suitable overcurrent protection, and the manufacturer's torque values. Use ignition-protected equipment where flammable vapors may be present. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Periodically inspect terminals for corrosion, overheating, looseness, and damaged insulation. Clean and protect connections with an approved corrosion inhibitor, verify mounting security, and test switching or isolation performance. |
| Safety Notes | Disconnect charging sources and battery negative connections before installation or service. Prevent short circuits with insulated tools and PPE. Do not switch non-load-break isolators under heavy load, and never interrupt an alternator circuit unless the equipment is designed for it. |
