Description
xVictron BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A — BPR000065400
The Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A is an automatic battery disconnect device designed to prevent deep discharge damage in 12V and 24V battery systems. It disconnects the load before the battery reaches a critically low voltage, protecting battery life in off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power installations. At 65A continuous current capacity, it suits a wide range of DC loads.
Key Features
- Compatible with both 12V and 24V battery systems, with automatic voltage detection.
- 65A continuous current rating, suitable for substantial DC load circuits.
- Programmable disconnect and reconnect voltage thresholds to suit different battery chemistries and system requirements.
- Low self-consumption, minimising parasitic drain on the battery when the system is idle.
- Compact and lightweight at 205g, making it straightforward to install in confined spaces such as caravans, boats and battery enclosures.
- Alarm output available to signal low battery conditions to external devices or monitoring systems.
- Ignition input allows the unit to be overridden when the engine or ignition is active, preventing nuisance disconnections.
Product Overview
The BatteryProtect monitors battery voltage continuously and disconnects the connected load when voltage drops to the programmed threshold. This prevents the battery from being discharged beyond its safe limit, which is a common cause of premature battery failure in systems where loads are left connected without active charge management. Once the battery voltage recovers to the reconnect threshold, the BatteryProtect automatically restores the load connection.
The unit supports multiple pre-set voltage profiles selectable via a push button, covering standard lead-acid, AGM and lithium battery types across both 12V and 24V systems. The alarm output can drive an LED or signal a battery management system, giving the installer flexibility in how low-voltage warnings are communicated. The ignition input is particularly useful in vehicle and marine applications where the load should remain connected whenever the engine is running, regardless of battery voltage.
At 65A, this model handles most auxiliary load circuits. For higher current applications, Victron offers the BatteryProtect range up to 220A. The device is not suitable for use with inductive loads such as motors or compressors unless a suitable protection diode is fitted, as back-EMF can damage the internal MOSFET switching circuit.

Installation Notes
The BatteryProtect should be installed by a competent electrician or qualified installer familiar with DC battery systems. It must be wired in series with the load circuit, not between the battery and charger. Do not use this device on the charge input side of a battery. The unit is not rated for inductive loads (motors, compressors, solenoids) without appropriate back-EMF protection. Ensure the wiring and fusing are rated to at least the continuous current of the circuit. Refer to the voltage profile settings carefully to match the disconnect and reconnect thresholds to your battery chemistry.
