The BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage it) or before it has insufficient power left to start the engine.
12/24 V auto measure
The BatteryProtect automatically detects the system voltage.
Very easy programming
The BatteryProtect can be programmed to disconnect and connect at different voltage levels. The 7-segment display will show which setting has been chosen.
Special mode for Lithium-Ion batteries
In this mode, the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS. Note: the BatteryProtect can also be used as a charge switch between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery. See the connection diagram in the manual.
Very low power consumption
This is an important feature for Lithium-Ion batteries, especially after a low-voltage cutoff. Please consult our Lithium-Ion datasheet and the VE.Bus BMS manual for more information.
Over voltage protection
To prevent damage to loads that are sensitive to over voltage, the load is disconnected if the DC voltage exceeds 16V and 32V respectively.
No relay, thus no spark
No relay, but MOSFETS, and therefore no spark, is used for switching. This ensures a very fast and energy efficient switching.
Delayed alarm output
The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnection voltage for more than 12 seconds. The engine start will therefore not trigger the alarm. The alarm output is a short-circuit protected 50mA open collector output that can be used to activate a buzzer, a LED, or a relay.
Load disconnect and reconnect delay
The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm is activated. If the battery voltage has increased to above the reconnection voltage threshold during this period (e.g. when the engine has been started), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased above the preset load reconnection voltage.
