Three functions in one compact controller: split charging for two banks, remote battery master switching from the dash or helm, and automatic flat battery protection. 200 A per bank, 12 V or 24 V, lead-acid / AGM / gel / lithium compatible, 6 programmable I/O.
Our price is the manufacturer's home-market RRP — what this gear sells for where it's made. Branded marine equipment in Thailand typically retails 15–90% above that, when prices are published at all. Ours doesn't.
PowerBank Lite is the entry point to Merlin's battery management controllers. Instead of fitting a split-charge relay, a battery isolator switch and a low-voltage disconnect as three separate devices, PowerBank Lite does all three from one CPU driving two 200 A latching contactors. Banks are charged in the correct order, can be switched on and off from a dash switch with no heavy cable runs, and are isolated automatically before they are discharged too deeply.
DSP sampling means transient loads do not cause nuisance trips; six programmable inputs and outputs handle ignition sensing, alarms and interlocks; and the optional PC kit adds real-time monitoring, data logging and batch programming for fleet builders. Works with lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium-ion banks and with hybrid and electric vehicle architectures.
Ambulance, welfare, comms and service vehicle conversions, campervans and expedition trucks, and boats with engine and house banks where the owner wants helm-controlled battery switching without a bulkhead of heavy cable.

Merlin Power has designed and built battery management electronics in the UK for more than 20 years, with the same technology fitted to lifeboats, emergency-service fleets and NATO armoured vehicles. We supply the full Merlin range with system design support: tell us your alternator, battery chemistry and loads and we will specify the right controller, contactors and cabling, and pair it with matching batteries, charging and renewable inputs where it makes sense. Every unit carries Merlin's manufacturer warranty and is supported by Merlin's UK technical team.
Datasheets, installation manuals, programming guides and the free PC configuration software for programmable units are published on Merlin Power's manuals page and software page. We can also send the relevant PDF with your quote.
