Otherwise, they are isolated, and discharge between banks is prevented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Battery Integrator causes no voltage drop in the charging system, while the multiple batteries are charged as a single bank whenever a charging source of approximately 13.2 VDC or 26.4 VDC or greater is present (depending on the model).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the alternator or charger is off or a large load causes the voltage to drop below the disconnect point, the unit breaks the common tie between the banks. This allows selective battery discharge and prevents the dumping of a higher-charged bank into a lower-charged bank. The unit may also be remotely activated to connect other batteries through the key starter or a manual switch to provide an added boost from the secondary battery whenever the starter is engaged and the unit senses there is sufficient voltage in that battery to provide an assist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables charging of two separate banks without voltage drop yet maintains 100% isolation at all other times.

It automatically connects independent banks when charging voltage is available, allowing them to charge together without the voltage drop associated with diode isolators. When charging stops or system voltage falls below the disconnect point, the BI-200 isolates the banks to support selective discharge and help prevent one battery from draining into another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dependable battery-bank integration, the BI-200 uses voltage-sensing circuitry and a heavy-duty continuous-rated solenoid to manage the connection automatically. The unit integrates the banks at approximately 13.2 VDC and disconnects them at 12.8 VDC. This allows the primary and secondary batteries to operate independently when charging is not present, while also supporting simultaneous charging from an alternator or charger. Optional internal connections can be wired through a key starter or manual override switch to connect the banks for an additional starting boost when appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Newmar Power BI-200 features a heavy-duty silver-plated contactor with a 200-amp continuous rating and a 600-amp peak maximum current rating. Its epoxy-encapsulated voltage-sense circuits, ignition protection rating, and marine-oriented construction make it suitable for demanding vessel electrical systems. A simple three-wire hookup supports two-bank installations, and a terminal is provided for optional remote indication when the battery banks are integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically connects two separate battery banks when charging voltage is present and isolates them when charging stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports simultaneous charging without the voltage drop associated with diode isolators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty silver-plated contactor rated for 200 amps continuous duty and 600 amps peak current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epoxy-encapsulated voltage-sense circuits and continuous-rated solenoid designed for marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional remote integration indicator and manual or key-starter override wiring for starting assistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e BI-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newmar Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery integration point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery disconnect point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum continuous current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak maximum current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery connection terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16-inch copper alloy studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproval:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE marked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Newmar Power BI-200 for automatic, voltage-sensing control of two 12-volt battery banks in a marine electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEO Meta Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newmar Power BI-200 12V battery integrator manages two marine battery banks with automatic charging, isolation, 200A capacity, and starting assist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAutomatically integrates two battery banks when charging voltage is present and isolates them when charging stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCharges separate battery banks without the voltage drop associated with diode isolators.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty silver-plated contactor rated for 200 amps continuous duty and 600 amps peak current.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMarine-oriented voltage-sense circuits, continuous-rated solenoid, and ignition protection rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports optional remote integration indication and manual or key-starter override wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTruck Freight: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOversized: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Newmar Power","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44881668964441,"sku":"102312","price":476.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/1818\/2489\/files\/102312XL.jpg?v=1789193526","url":"https:\/\/www.marinepartsonly.com\/products\/newmar-power-bi-200-12v-200a-battery-integrator-for-marine-battery-banks","provider":"Marine Parts Only","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
