The Victron Battery Protect is an essential device for safeguarding your vehicle's battery from complete discharge, thereby extending its lifespan. It efficiently disconnects the battery from non-essential loads, like lights or a refrigerator, before they fully drain the battery or when the power is too low for engine cranking.
Uniquely designed as a uni-directional device, the BatteryProtect handles current in one direction – either to a load or from a charger, but not both simultaneously. This function is ideal for ensuring the safe flow of current and protecting sensitive onboard equipment from over-voltage.
This device intelligently auto-detects system voltage, whether 12V or 24V, for seamless integration into various setups. The user-friendly programming allows you to set engagement and disengagement at different voltages, indicated by a clear display.
Incorporating a specific setting for Li-ion batteries, the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS. It's also ideal as a charge interrupter between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery, as detailed in the connection diagram in the manual.
With its low current consumption, the BatteryProtect is crucial for Li-ion batteries, especially after a low voltage shutdown, to minimize energy loss and enhance battery protection.
Equipped with over-voltage protection, the BatteryProtect disconnects loads when the DC voltage exceeds safe levels. MOSFET switches ensure ignition-proof operation, removing the risk of sparks.
The BatteryProtect can also function as a remote switch, allowing you to turn on and off various devices remotely. This flexibility is particularly useful in situations where manual control of devices like external lighting or electronic gadgets is needed.
Featuring a delayed alarm output, the BatteryProtect ensures that starting the engine won't trigger a false alarm. It also offers intelligent load disconnect and reconnect, managing power effectively to maintain continuity.
Choose the Victron Battery Protect for efficient and reliable battery management, enhancing the performance and lifespan of your battery system in a variety of scenarios.

Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy
Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.
During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation. This warranty will be considered void if the unit has suffered any physical damage or alteration, either internally or externally, and does not cover damages arising from improper use like:
• Reverse of battery polarity.
• Inadequate connection.
• Mechanical shock or deformation.
• Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation.
• Use in inappropriate environment (dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...).
• Breakage or damage due to lightning.
• Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening.
• For any electronical breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state ofthe internal control diode and of the inputs/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.
This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Qualified Service Partners. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.
Repair or replacement are our sole remedies and Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental,special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault.
