The Victron BatteryProtect 65A disconnects non-essential loads before the battery is drained too far to start the engine, or before over-discharge damages the battery.

Description

The Victron BatteryProtect 65A is a low voltage load disconnect that protects a battery from over-discharge by automatically disconnecting non-essential loads before the battery is drained too far to start the engine or before the battery itself is damaged.

It auto-detects 12V or 24V systems and can be set to disconnect and reconnect at several different voltage thresholds, with the current setting shown on its seven-segment display. A dedicated Li-ion mode allows it to be controlled by a VE.Bus BMS, or used as a charge interrupter between a charger and a lithium battery.

Switching is handled by MOSFETs rather than a relay, so there's no sparking at the contacts. An alarm output activates if voltage drops below the disconnect threshold for more than 12 seconds (so engine starting doesn't trigger a false alarm), and the load is only disconnected 90 seconds after that, with a 30 second delay before reconnecting once voltage recovers.

Suits auxiliary battery circuits in 4WDs, camper trailers, work utes and traffic control vehicle fitouts where a second battery needs protecting from over-discharge, alongside a DC-DC charger, battery tray and appropriate circuit protection.

Installation should be carried out by a suitably competent person or auto electrician.

Features

  • 12V/24V Auto Ranging: Automatically detects system voltage, no manual switching required.
  • Programmable Thresholds: Disconnect and reconnect voltages can be set to suit the battery and system, shown on the seven-segment display.
  • Li-ion Mode: Can be controlled by a VE.Bus BMS, or used as a charge interrupter between a charger and a lithium battery.
  • Ultra-Low Current Draw: 1.5mA when on, 0.6mA when off or in low voltage shutdown.
  • Over-Voltage Protection: Disconnects the load if DC voltage exceeds 16V (12V setting) or 32V (24V setting).
  • Ignition Protected: MOSFET switching instead of relays, so no sparking.
  • Delayed Alarm and Disconnect: Alarm activates after 12 seconds below threshold (so engine starting won't trigger it), load disconnects 90 seconds after that, and reconnects 30 seconds after voltage recovers.

Warranty

Manufacturer Warranty - 5 Years
This product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty of 5 years against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, in accordance with Victron Energy's standard warranty terms.

Vehicle electrical components must be installed correctly as part of a suitable electrical system. This warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, incorrect wiring, overloading beyond the rated current, modification or use outside the product's stated operating conditions. Installation should be carried out by a qualified auto electrician.

To make a warranty claim, contact UAG Services Pty Ltd (Gate 2, 7 Royan Place, Bayswater North VIC 3153) at sales@uags.com.au or (03) 8750 0926 with your order reference, a description of the fault and photos of the product. UAG Services Pty Ltd will refer the claim to the manufacturer or authorised representative where required. Return shipping costs are handled in accordance with the UAGS Returns Policy unless otherwise required under Australian Consumer Law.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. This warranty is provided in addition to these rights and does not limit or exclude them.

Victron BatteryProtect FAQs

What does this device actually do?

It disconnects non-essential loads from the battery before it's drained too far to start the engine, or before over-discharge damages the battery.

Will it work on both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes. It auto-detects the system voltage and switches thresholds accordingly.

Can it be used with a lithium battery?

Yes. It has a dedicated Li-ion mode where it can be controlled by a VE.Bus BMS, or used as a charge interrupter between a charger and a lithium battery.

Will starting the engine trigger a false alarm?

No. The alarm only activates if voltage stays below the disconnect threshold for more than 12 seconds, so a brief voltage dip while cranking won't set it off.

Can I install this myself?

Installation should be carried out by a suitably competent person or auto electrician.
