oldjohnt Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Randyretired said: Which way does the manufacturer recommend? AMEN to that. It looks were all on the same page here in that Blue Sea makes great products and an RV battery bank can supply MUCH MUCH MORE current into a load than even a decent sized charger or solar system can supply in reverse, and I would bet Blue Sea designed accordingly........... In my practice I learned of as well as observed what can happen to relay or switch contacts when a high current is interrupted YIKES welding, burning, pitting, arcing, heat and even total destruction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully Glenn will get some answers from Blue Sea (Engineers NOT sale people) but in the meantime we know to avoid switching under heavy load if possible and wire as the manual says !!!!!!!!!

GlennWest Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 6005 and 6006 m series doesn't matter. Others do. This is Blue Sea reply.

Quote Posted Monday at 09:05 AM · IP If it is a switch it would not matter at all. The contacts are either open of closed and current for a battery goes one direction when discharging and the other when being charged. 😊 Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

This is Blue Sea reply And the follow up question would be HOW ARE THOSE OTHER MODELS DESIGNED ??? Oh well no sense beating this dead horse much more absent any hard core engineering specs lol. In the meantime, one can trust Blue Sea engineers their disconnect is adequate ??? Your choice which direction to wire and avoid any high current switching where possible. Of course, if there's little current and/or no switching under load it makes little to no difference...
