Abstract
A disconnect switch ( SA) is placed in circuit between a battery bank ( ) and a distribution point ( B) for the entire electrical system load except the engine cranking motor ( ). This allows the circuit between the battery bank and a cranking motor solenoid ( ) that operates the cranking motor to be switch-free. A switch-free circuit allows a continuous cable to connect the battery bank to the cranking motor solenoid, significantly reducing the electrical resistance between the battery bank and the cranking motor solenoid.
