  • Page 3: Introduction

    Compared to the Smart BatteryProtect, the BatteryProtect must be programmed via the PROG pin to GND pin method. The BatteryProtect is a uni-directional device. It can only deal with current in one direction, so either current to a load, or current from a charger, but not both currents at the same time.

  • Page 4: Features

    The BatteryProtect offers a wide range of different features. These include: • Protection of the battery against excessive discharge and can be used as a system on/off switch. • 12/24V auto ranging. The BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage one time only (can be re-triggered - see section Programming table [12]).

  • Page 5: Installation And Wiring Examples

    There are a few basic things to keep in mind when installing a BatteryProtect: 1. The BatteryProtect must be installed in a well-ventilated area and preferably close (max 50 cm) to the battery (but, due to possible corrosive gasses not above the battery!).

    BP. In case you want to control an inverter or inverter/charger via a BP, you must use the BP to control the inverter or inverter/charger via its remote port. See example below. Note that the image shown below is an example for all BatteryProtect models including the smart models. DC loads...

  • Page 7: Wiring Examples

    This section contains various wiring examples to show all the possibilities of wiring. 3.3.1. BatteryProtect in a simple system The example below shows a BatteryProtect with the wire loop (default) between the two-pin remote terminal. When the wire loop is removed, the BP disconnects the load after 90 seconds.

  • Page 8: Batteryprotect Remote On/Off Switch

    The below example shows a BatteryProtect in a simple system with a remote on/off switch wired to the remote terminals. This switch can be used, for example, to turn the system remotely on and off. The power consumption of the BatteryProtect is...

    (Victron smallBMS with pre-alarm). This BMS has a load and a charge disconnect output that can be wired directly to the BatteryProtect pin labelled REMOTE of the remote terminal connector. As with the previous example, it is necessary to program the BP into Li-ion mode (see chapter Programming [11]).

    3.3.6. BatteryProtect Alarm output wiring The alarm output can be wired e.g. to an LED, a buzzer or a relay. For this, the BatteryProtect must be programmed in the respective mode because of slight differences in the behavior. See also the section Operation modes [10] for more details.
