Description
xVictron BatteryProtect 12/24V-220A — BPR000220400
The Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V-220A is an automatic battery disconnect device designed to protect 12V and 24V lead-acid and lithium batteries from over-discharge. It disconnects the load before the battery reaches a damaging low-voltage threshold, preserving battery life and preventing system failure. Suited to marine, off-grid, vehicle and industrial applications where reliable battery protection is required.
Key Features
- Rated at 220A continuous current, suitable for high-load 12V and 24V systems.
- Automatic disconnect and reconnect based on configurable voltage thresholds, protecting batteries from deep discharge damage.
- Compatible with both 12V and 24V battery systems, covering a wide range of installations.
- Very low self-consumption, minimising parasitic drain on the battery when the system is idle.
- Alarm output available to signal low-voltage conditions before disconnection occurs.
- Remote on/off input allows integration with external control systems or battery management systems (BMS).
- Compact and lightweight at 0.912 kg, making it practical to install in confined spaces.
Product Overview
The BatteryProtect monitors battery voltage continuously and disconnects the load circuit when voltage drops to a preset threshold. This prevents the battery from being discharged beyond its safe operating limit, which is a common cause of premature battery failure in off-grid, marine and vehicle installations. Once the battery voltage recovers to the reconnect threshold, the BatteryProtect automatically restores the load connection.
At 220A, this unit handles substantial load currents, making it appropriate for systems running inverters, pumps, winches or other high-draw equipment. The remote on/off input adds flexibility for installations where the BatteryProtect needs to be controlled by a BMS or an external switch. The alarm output can be wired to a warning indicator, giving advance notice of a low-voltage condition before the load is shed.
The device is designed for use on the load side of the battery, not between the battery and a charger. It should not be used to disconnect charging sources. This distinction is important during system design to ensure correct protection behaviour.

Installation Notes
The BatteryProtect must be installed on the load side of the battery only. Do not use it to interrupt charging current, as this can damage the unit. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC battery systems. Ensure all connections are correctly rated for 220A and that appropriate fusing is in place between the battery and the device. For off-grid solar installations, a qualified installer should verify that the protection settings are compatible with the battery chemistry in use.
