The Egis Mobile Electric 8710-1500 XD Flex 2 Single Relay is a compact, high-performance remote battery switch designed for demanding marine, RV, and work vehicle electrical systems. Featuring a manual override knob and tinned control wires, this bi-stable relay delivers 500A continuous current capacity and up to 1500A during cranking — making it a powerful and space-saving replacement for traditional solenoids and remote battery switches.
Configurable via onboard dip switches, the 8710-1500 can function as a standard relay/battery disconnect, a voltage sensing relay (VSR), or a low voltage disconnect (LVD) — all without rewiring. Remote ON/OFF/Auto control inputs allow forced open or close operation, or fully automatic voltage-based switching. Local and remote LED indicators provide clear status awareness at all times.
Key Features:
- 500A Continuous / 1500A Cranking — handles heavy starter and accessory loads reliably
- Flexible Dip Switch Programming — configures as Relay/Battery Disconnect, Voltage Sensing Relay (VSR), or Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)
- Manual Override Knob — force relay open or closed and lock position for manual control
- Remote ON/OFF/Auto Inputs — enables automatic operation or forced switching via external control
- Local & Remote LED Indicators — real-time relay status at the unit and at a remote location
- IP67 / IP6K9K Sealed Enclosure — fully protected against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure wash
- 35–75% Smaller Footprint — advanced bi-stable solenoid design dramatically reduces mounting space vs. competitive solutions
- Expandable Architecture — links with optional 8790 and 8791 busbars to additional Single, Dual, or Triple XD Relays for multi-battery systems
- Blue Sea ML-Series Compatible — wire-for-wire drop-in replacement for Blue Sea ML-solenoid and ML-remote battery switch products
- Forward-Facing Input Studs — simplifies large wire termination; stainless steel studs with self-locking flanged nuts resist corrosion
- Protective Terminal Cover with Label Recesses — prevents accidental shorts and makes circuit identification easy
- High-Temperature Electronics & Gore-Tex Vent — allows mounting in harsh environments, engine rooms, and exposed locations
- Large Mounting Holes — accepts standard 1/4-20 / M6 hardware for secure installation
Winner of the 2022 IBEX Innovation Award, the Egis XD Series redefines compact power management. The 8710-1500 is an ideal upgrade for anyone replacing legacy solenoids, Blue Sea ML-series switches, or traditional rotary battery switches in marine, RV, commercial, or off-road applications.
