Description
Battery protection | Victron Energy
is designed to save you trouble by automatically disconnecting your battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged, thus avoiding any damage.
In addition, it offers you extra peace of mind by preventing your battery from having insufficient power to start your engine.
12/24 V auto sensing
The BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage.
Very easy programming
The BatteryProtect can be configured to switch on/off at different voltage levels. The 7-segment display will indicate which setting has been chosen.
A special setting for lithium-ion batteries
With 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.
Very low power consumption
This is an important feature for lithium-ion batteries, especially after shutdown due to low voltage.
Overvoltage protection
To prevent damage to loads that are sensitive to overvoltage, the load is disconnected if the DC voltage exceeds 16V and 32V respectively.
Anti-sparking
No relays, but MOSFET transistors, and therefore no sparks.
Delayed alarm output
The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops for more than 12 seconds below the pre-set disconnection level. Engine start will therefore not trigger the alarm.
The alarm output is a short-circuit-proof, open-collector output that is connected to the rail (negative), maximum current 50mA. The alarm output is typically used to activate a buzzer, an LED indicator or a relay.
Load disconnect and reconnect delay
The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm is activated. If the battery voltage rises again to the connect threshold during this period (when the engine has been started, for example), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has exceeded the pre-set load reconnect voltage.
