The \u003cstrong\u003eBlue Sea ML-Series Automatic Charging Relay (ACR)\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a superior solution for automatically managing the charging of two large battery banks, such as a start battery and a house bank. Designed for high-amperage applications, this unit removes the need for manual switching, ensuring your batteries are charged when a source is active and isolated when discharging to prevent accidental depletion of your starting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnetic Latching Technology for Maximum Efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard continuous-duty solenoids that generate heat and consume significant power just to stay closed, the ML-Series utilises a \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic latching (bi-stable) mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e. This advanced design draws very low current (less than 40mA) to monitor terminal voltage in both the \"ON\" or \"OFF\" states. It only draws moderate current for a fraction of a second when changing states. This ensures that your energy goes into charging your batteries, not heating up the relay, making it essential for energy-conscious off-grid and marine setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Sensing and Smart Isolation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ACR features intelligent \u003cstrong\u003edual sensing technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it monitors voltage on both battery banks.

The Cyrix-ct’s intelligent algorithm evaluates the voltage trend over a period, reversing a connection only if the trend has genuinely reversed. This is particularly beneficial in systems with variable loads, such as fridges or inverters, where voltage can fluctuate without indicating a change in charge state. The result is stable, predictable battery management that reduces wear on contacts and prevents unintended discharge of the starter battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the bidirectional design means the relay will close not only when the engine is running but also when a mains charger or solar regulator is connected to the auxiliary bank.

This rapid response prevents thermal runaway and extends battery lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter disconnection, the relay intelligently manages reconnection. It waits for the BMS signal to return high and verifies that the charger output is above 13.7V (12V system) or 27.4V (24V system). A 3-second delay ensures stability before re-engaging. If repeated faults occur, the delay extends to 10 minutes, preventing rapid cycling that could stress system components. Additionally, if battery voltage drops below 13.5V (27V for 24V) for an hour, the relay disengages to avoid unnecessary drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant BMS-driven disconnection\u003c\/strong\u003e for overvoltage and over temperature protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120A continuous rating\u003c\/strong\u003e at 12V\/24V, with 40A breaking capacity at 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic reconnection logic\u003c\/strong\u003e with progressive delays to prevent cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow power consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u0026lt;4mA when open) ideal for energy-conscious systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact, robust design\u003c\/strong\u003e (46x46x80mm, 0.11kg) with IP54 protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in transient voltage suppression\u003c\/strong\u003e to protect against inductive spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear status LED\u003c\/strong\u003e for quick operational diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Integration with Victron Energy Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyrix-Li-Charge is purpose-built for Victron's ecosystem, connecting directly to the VE.Bus BMS control output.
