{"product_id":"victron-batteryprotect-12-24v","title":"Victron - BatteryProtect 12\/24V 65A Smart and Standard (low voltage disconnect)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Victron BatteryProtect 65A is a low voltage disconnect for the load side of a 12V or 24V system.\u003c\/strong\u003e It watches battery voltage and cuts non-essential loads off before the battery is discharged far enough to damage it. It runs from 6V to 35V, so one part covers both 12V and 24V installs. Two versions are available - the Smart, set up over Bluetooth from your phone, and the standard, set on the unit with the PROG pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the set-and-forget protection layer in a dual battery or camper system. Fridges, lights, water pumps, device chargers - anything you would rather lose than replace a battery over goes downstream of the BatteryProtect. It carries 65A continuous with 250A peak for 30 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne direction only - IN to OUT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BatteryProtect goes between the battery and the loads, and current flows IN to OUT only. Reverse current through the device will damage it - the unit reports error E8. \u003cstrong\u003eNever connect an inverter or an inverter\/charger to a BatteryProtect via its DC input.\u003c\/strong\u003e Control those by their remote on\/off port instead. The same rule applies to any load with large DC input capacitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart or standard - which one do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrically they are the same device - same current rating, thresholds, delays, IP rating, terminal, dimensions and warranty. The difference is how you program it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart\u003c\/strong\u003e - Bluetooth built in.

Custom levels are not available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePick the Smart if your battery maker specifies a disconnect voltage that is not one of the presets, or if you want to check it without pulling a panel off. Pick the standard if a preset suits your battery - and mount it somewhere you can still reach if the setting ever needs changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 65A enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize it to the total continuous current of the loads you are protecting, not to the battery. Add up everything downstream that could run at once. A 400Ah battery bank behind 45A of loads still only needs the 65A. The 250A peak is for switch-on surge, not continuous running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo programming options\u003c\/strong\u003e - Bluetooth on the Smart, PROG pin on the standard, the same ten presets on both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic 12V and 24V operation\u003c\/strong\u003e - 6V to 35V, with 24V thresholds exactly double the 12V figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery low standby draw\u003c\/strong\u003e - Smart 1.4mA on and 0.9mA off; standard 1.5mA on and 0.6mA off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in delays\u003c\/strong\u003e - 90 seconds before disconnect, 30 seconds before reconnect, so a momentary sag does not shut the fridge down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBMS trigger input\u003c\/strong\u003e - a BMS-commanded disconnect is immediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlarm output\u003c\/strong\u003e - trips 12 seconds ahead of disconnect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotted electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e - IP67 on the electronics, IP00 on the connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe ten presets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e12V disconnect\/reconnect pairs, the same on both versions.
