Description
xVictron BatteryProtect 12/24V 65A
The Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A is an electronic battery protection device that disconnects a load from the battery when voltage drops to a damaging level. It is designed for 12V and 24V systems and suits marine, off-grid, and vehicle installations where over-discharge protection is required.
Key Features
- Rated at 65A continuous current, suitable for moderate to heavy DC loads.
- Compatible with both 12V and 24V battery systems without manual adjustment.
- Programmable low-voltage disconnect and reconnect thresholds via a rotary switch.
- Remote on/off input allows integration with a BMS or external control signal.
- Very low self-consumption, drawing less than 1mA in standby.
- Solid-state switching with no mechanical relay contacts to wear out.
- Alarm output available to signal low-voltage conditions to external devices.
Product Overview
The BatteryProtect monitors battery voltage continuously and disconnects the load circuit when voltage falls below the programmed threshold. This prevents deep discharge, which is the primary cause of premature battery failure in lead-acid and lithium systems. Once the battery recovers to the reconnect voltage, the unit automatically restores the load connection after a short delay.
The rotary switch provides several pre-set voltage profiles covering common battery chemistries and system voltages. The remote input accepts a signal from a battery management system, allowing the BMS to trigger a disconnect independently of the voltage threshold. This makes the BatteryProtect a practical last-line-of-defence in lithium battery installations where the BMS needs to shed loads quickly.
Solid-state switching means there are no relay contacts to corrode or wear, which is particularly relevant in marine and humid environments. The alarm output can drive an LED or feed a signal to a monitoring system, giving the user advance warning before a full disconnect occurs.

Installation Notes
The BatteryProtect must be installed in the load circuit only, never between the battery and a charger. It is not suitable for use with inverters or other inductive loads unless specified. Wiring should be sized appropriately for the 65A rating and protected with a fuse at the battery. Installation by a qualified 12V or marine electrician is recommended, particularly in lithium battery systems where correct BMS integration is essential.
