Victron Smart BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A is a low-voltage disconnect with Bluetooth that switches non-essential loads off a battery before it is run flat. It is rated 65 A continuous up to 40°C and 39 A at 60°C, with a 250 A peak for 30 seconds. Bluetooth programming lets any engage and disengage levels be set, or one of nine predefined levels can be chosen with the programming pin. Bluetooth can also be disabled. The electronics are IP67.
Our take
Bluetooth programming lets any engage and disengage level be set, with nine predefined levels on the programming pin as the alternative. That flexibility sits on a 65 A unit that falls to 39 A at 60°C.
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.
