Supporting Sponsor - Sierra Expeditions
Sierra Expeditions is pleased to announce that we are now carrying IBS - Intelligent Battery Systems.
This computerized dual-battery manager kit was developed in Switzerland. This state-of-the-art system uses a RISC micro-computer to either isolate or link multiple batteries as needed. Normal operation separates the starting battery from the auxiliary battery to safely power electrical accessories when the vehicle isn't running. An override button links the batteries for high-load uses such as winching and is also used for self jump-starting. In-cab monitoring, which uses an LED display to show each battery's state of charge, is available. The system is offered in 12-volt and 24-volt models (controls four batteries). Installation involves an included power cable and a pre-made four-wire harness. The IBS won a Global Media Award as one of the best new products at the 2009 SEMA Show.
Dual Battery Systems (DBS) kits include:
Features:
Installation is easy with only 4 small gauge wires that need to be feed through the firewall, no clips or funky connectors. You can see the install of our unit we used for testing here and here.
The optional mounting brackets make installing the Battery Monitor a breeze, there is three mounting brackets in case the include flush mount just doesn't do the unit justice:
Swivel Mount:
Horizontal Mount:
Goose-neck Mount:
At this time 24v options are not available, but should you want us to bring some in on the next inbound shipment please let us know.
