The Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V-100A is a battery protection unit that cuts non-essential loads off the battery before it is run completely flat. It is rated for 100 A continuous at 40°C and takes a 600 A peak for 30 seconds, with an operating voltage range of 6 to 35 V. It works in one direction only, so it can carry either load current or charger current, but not both at once. The electronics are rated IP67, and the default disengage threshold on a 12 V system is 10.5 V.
Our take
The 100 A continuous rating holds only up to 40°C, and the figure is 60 A up to 60°C, so the rating falls as the surroundings get hotter. It is also one-way, so it can't serve a charger and a load at the same time.
From our buying guide
NMMA says not to mix battery chemistries or types in the same bank, and the makers add their own limits.
Check before you buy:
- Each maker sets its own alternator rules. Battle Born calls a DC-to-DC charger a simple and safe way to use alternator charging.
- Battle Born warns that a BMS shutdown leaves the vessel without power, and that one during alternator charging can severely damage the alternator.
- Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
