Shopper Award

The Cartek Motorsport GT Battery Isolator is a very small and highly reliable alternative to the traditional mechanical master-switch. The unit has been designed to overcome all of the problems and restrictions associated with mechanical and electro/mechanical safety cut-outs. When fitted to a race car this solid state battery isolator simultaneously isolates the battery and kills the engine immediately when triggered in accordance with FIA safety regulations.

This system has been designed to simplify installation thereby saving time and reducing build costs.

Features:

  • Fully electronic with no moving parts
  • Totally sealed against water and dirt
  • Completely resistant to shock and vibration
  • Fully integrated with built in alternator run-down circuitry - No extra components required
  • Driver operation by a single internal ON-OFF button/switch
  • External operation by single or multiple 'strike' button(s)
  • Buttons / switches connected to Isolator using light weight wiring
  • Mounts close to battery for reduced cabling
  • Very small and weighs just 120g
  • Designed and manufactured in UK using high quality components
How it Works:
The Cartek Battery Isolator GT provides two functions. The first is to disconnect the Battery from all Electrical Circuits. The second is to kill the engine.

Battery Isolation:
Battery Isolators work by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis. When the external kill button has been activated or the internal button been switched to the off state, then the Battery Isolator will disconnect the negative side of the battery from the Chassis. This means that no power can get to any of the electrical circuits as there is a break in the circuit.

Engine Kill:
The Cartek Battery Isolator GT kills the engine by taking in a fixed 12v input and sending a 12v output that would power your Ignition or ECU. When the negative side of the battery has been disconnected it will also cut the 12v output powering your Ignition or ECU. This will kill the engine.

Built in Protection:
The Cartek Battery Isolator GT comes with built in alternator run down protection meaning no extra wiring and no extra components.

How is it controlled?
The two electronic isolation circuits are controlled by microprocessors and incorporate various safety systems including over-temperature and over-current monitoring. These microprocessors also monitor the kill switches/buttons for instant activation without false triggering.

Who Is Cartek?

Cartek is a company that specializes in producing high-quality solid-state battery isolators used in the automotive industry. They have been in the business for more than ten years and have established their brand as one of the leading manufacturers in their market segment. Today, they are widely used by many enthusiasts, including various OEM  manufacturers.

Choice Of Champions

What separates their system compared to others is that it is fully sealed and has no moving parts. It enables their system to function under challenging conditions, making them a favorite brand of many racers and motorsport enthusiasts.

Changing The Way, Battery Isolators Are Made

Back in the day, electrical isolations were primarily mechanical master switches and electromechanical solenoids. But the issue with these designs is that since there are multiple moving parts, the combination of high electrical current, vibrations and shocks results in contact erosion and eventual unreliability. It is what the solid-state battery isolator of Cartek has eliminated. Since there are no mechanical moving parts, it increases the strength and reliability of the system.
