If concerned with field protection, you'll want an MBSS (main battery selector switch) that has the field terminals at the rear.Need to know to wire up a two battery set up and switch.
I see your thread title is; AQ120b Alternator: Internal or external regulator?

I see more issues with the Perko MBSS (small contacts/weaker spring) in particular the 90* sweep switch.
I'd rather see the Bluesea, Cole Hersee or Guest used.
However, the Perko will work.
pugetsounder, is this you on the BOC?.......... The PO has hooked up the two battery system so that everything is working off of the 2 batteries. I want to isolate them so that one battery is for starting and the other is for house.
I plan on adding a invertor/charger/shore power at some point but that will be next year.
I also want to add a float switch as well. Thanks for the replies.
kimcrwbr1, so what you're saying is that with this:
You don't need a manual switch? That would be cool!
Well, I think that the four open fork type terminals were a give-a-way for me, that the unit may be on the light duty side.Do you think 140AMP wouldn't be enough? I wouldn't be running a lot of components at one time. just a thought.
