BEP 720 Heavy Duty Battery Switch — Durable Marine Solution for Large Vessels
The BEP 720 is a compact, ignition‑protected main switch engineered by Mastervolt for large yachts and commercial boats with demanding electrical systems. Designed to deliver serious starting currents and steady auxiliary power, it offers reliable isolation of high‑current circuits while enduring the rigors of a marine engine room.
Why the BEP 720 stands out
600 Amps DC continuous rating at 48V, with 800 Amps DC intermittent for short, heavy loads, and a 2500 Amps DC cranking rating for dependable engine starts. A compact 102 x 102 x 90 mm footprint that fits standard yacht panels without sacrificing performance. Ignition‑protected design with tin‑plated copper studs and nuts built to withstand heat, vibration, and salt spray. Self‑cleaning sliding copper contact minimizes wear and arcing for long‑term durability in challenging environments. Recessed or surface mounting options to suit your vessel’s dashboard or switchboard layout. Shares BEP’s contour lock system with BEP battery distribution hardware for a cohesive installation across your power system. Uses BEP’s standard label set (713/715) for consistent identification across your BEP components.
What this means for your vessel
The BEP 720 is purpose‑built for high‑demand power environments where heat, vibration, and salt spray are a given. It provides secure, vibration‑resistant operation whether you’re cranking a heavy‑duty engine or supplying essential auxiliary loads during long passages. Its robust copper hardware and ignition protection ensure reliable performance year after year, from docking to offshore passages.

Ideal use cases
A perfect fit for large yachts and commercial vessels that demand a robust main switch to manage high starting currents and substantial auxiliary loads. Use it as the primary on/off control for the vessel’s DC power system, or mount it on a switchboard for easy access during routine maintenance and emergency isolation.
Installation and maintenance tips
Install either recessed in a dashboard panel or surface‑mounted on a dedicated switchboard to suit your layout. Ensure a clean, dry terminal area and follow standard torque recommendations for the tin‑plated copper studs. Regularly inspect the switch for signs of wear or corrosion and replace labels as needed to maintain clear identification across your BEP fleet.
With Mastervolt’s legacy in marine power management, the BEP 720 delivers a reliable, maintenance‑friendly solution that keeps critical systems powered and protected, even in the harshest marine conditions.
