It is a smart high current magnetic latching contactor, that can handle continuous DC currents of up to 500Amps. Whereas the RBS is mainly used as a locally or externally controlled battery load switch, the TBP has a number of additional features. Most importantly, it can protect your battery without the need of an external measurement and control device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBesides controlling the TBP remotely, buttons positioned at the top also provide a way to open or close the main contact locally. For external control, the TBP is equipped with a 5 wire interface cable. It can be configured to accept two wire or single wire ON\/OFF commands for optimal flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe TBP is a magnetic latching relay, which means that there is no current draw from the battery when the contact is closed. This is a great benefit compared to regular relays which do require a (sometimes significant-) hold current to keep the contact closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBesides all features and benefits of the RBS, the TBP has battery protection built in. It will automatically open the main contact once the battery voltage has dropped below a programmable low voltage level. When subsequently the battery voltage has risen above the programmable reconnect voltage, the main contact is closed again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother handy TBP feature is the Override mode. In situations where the TBP has opened the main contact due to a battery under voltage, long-pressing the close button (local or external) will close the main contact for 1 minute. This allows the user to jumpstart a low battery system. When after this minute the battery voltage remains too low, the contact will open up again. But it remains closed when during the override time, a charger has been connected causing the battery voltage to recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, please download the datasheet from the link below, or check this YouTube video for general installation information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDatasheet: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbs-electronics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DCMD-RBS-TBP-EN-REVC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRemote Battery Switch \/ Battery Protect Relay Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbs-electronics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TBS_TBP_Manual_Rev5endf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDC Modular 500A Battery Protect Relay (TBP) Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-C6nJ1ghyS8?si=4WuFxKNXcaDkC4iK\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"TBS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42518727590022,"sku":"5074410","price":417.67,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/0162\/2662\/files\/02ced789-7024-47d4-84ca-a6698efb884f_010bb5a0-c707-4da7-8af2-75be4e75772e.png?v=1765512484","url":"https:\/\/orkapower.co.nz\/products\/dcm-battery-protect-relay-12v-500a","provider":"ORKA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
