Advanced Battery Charging and Protection
The Egis Programmable Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) 160A, 12V is designed to enhance the reliability and efficiency of your marine electrical system. This automatic and programmable relay ensures optimal battery performance by managing the charging and isolation of multiple batteries, preventing dead starts, and safeguarding your electrical system.
General Description
This 160A charging relay intelligently shares charging between two batteries and isolates them when no charge sources are present. It supports multiple engines or independent charge systems with two independent start or engine isolation inputs, optimizing charging performance. Additionally, it protects the electrical system from cascading faults with an optional lock-out feature, preventing closure if a terminal is connected to a battery with a shorted cell.
Key Features and Advantages
- Ultra-Low Power Draw: Consumes significantly less power compared to typical ACRs, preventing battery depletion during extended downtimes.
- Robust Installation: Features an integrated sealed plug to eliminate corrosion, including a Deutsch/Amphenol DTM connector harness.
- Start Assist: Ensures maximum cranking amps by allowing manual battery connection via a remote switch.
- Bullet-Proof Construction: Sealed unit with stainless steel hardware and high-temperature materials, suitable for any mounting location.
- Remote Reporting: An additional low-amp output reports device status remotely or drives a secondary relay for charging a battery bank without a charge source.
Bullet Points Summary
- Ultra-Low Power Draw: Minimizes battery depletion during system downtime.
- Integrated Sealed Plug: Prevents corrosion and ensures robust connections.
- Start Assist Feature: Maximizes cranking amps for reliable starts.
- Bullet-Proof Construction: Durable, sealed unit with stainless steel hardware.
- Remote Reporting Capability: Allows for status reporting and secondary relay control.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.
Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.
Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.
Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.
Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.
Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.
To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
We are happy to help you find the right contact or documentation, but we cannot decide outcomes or intervene in claim resolutions. For guidance, email cs@qualityboatparts.com.
