Victron BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non essential loads before it is completely discharged or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine, so no damage is caused to the battery. BatteryProtect can be set to engage/disengage at several different voltages, with the segment display indicating which setting has been chosen. There is also a special setting for lithium ion batteries.
The ultra low current consumption battery protector also has over voltage protection which will prevent damage to sensitive loads due to over voltage. The load is disconnected whenever the DC voltage exceeds 16V respectively 32V.
An alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level for more than 12 seconds. Starting the engine will therefore not activate the alarm. The alarm output is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative (minus) rail. The alarm output is used to activate a buzzer, LED or display.
The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm has been activated. If the battery voltage increases again to the connect threshold within this time period (for example, after the engine has been started), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased to more than the preset reconnect voltage.
