Victron Energy Smart Battery Protector 65A

Victron Energy Smart Battery Protector 65A

The Victron Energy Smart Battery Protector 65A disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which can damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power to switch on the motor.

When using Bluetooth to program this Smart Battery Protector, all required enable/disable levels can be set. Alternatively, one of nine predefined enable/disable levels can be set using the programming pin. Bluetooth can be turned off if necessary.

Please note: this Battery Protector is not designed for counter current charging devices.

Automatic detection 12/24V

The Smart BatteryProtect automatically detects the system voltage only once.

A special setting for lithium-ion batteries

In this mode the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS.
Please note: the BatteryProtect can also be used as a charge interrupter between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery.

Super low power consumption

This is important in the case of lithium-ion batteries, especially after a low voltage shutdown.

Overvoltage protection

To prevent damage to sensitive loads due to overvoltage, the load is disconnected as soon as the DC voltage reaches 16V resp. exceeds 32V.

Protected against ignition

No relays, but MOSFET switches and therefore no sparks.

The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level for more than 12 seconds. Therefore, starting the engine does not activate the alarm. The alarm output is an open-collector, short-circuit proof output connected to the negative (minus) rail, max. current 50mA. The alarm output is generally used to activate the buzzer, an LED or relay.

Delayed load disconnection and delayed reconnection

The load is disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm is activated. If the battery voltage rises back to the coupling threshold within this time frame (after the engine has been started, for example), the load is not disconnected.
The load is reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage rises above the preset reconnection voltage.
