It disconnects non-essential loads when the battery voltage drops to a critical level, protecting the battery from deep discharge. Rated at 230A continuous, it suits demanding DC load circuits in marine, vehicle and off-grid installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated at 230A continuous current, suitable for high-draw DC load circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 12V and 24V lithium battery systems, with voltage thresholds calibrated for Li chemistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicroprocessor-controlled logic monitors battery voltage and disconnects loads automatically at a programmable low-voltage threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReconnects loads once the battery has recovered to a safe voltage level, without manual intervention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.3 kg, allowing installation in confined spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks alongside Victron Battery Management Systems (BMS) and can be controlled via a BMS load disconnect signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyrix-Li-load differs from a standard battery combiner in that it is specifically designed to protect lithium batteries from over-discharge by shedding loads rather than combining battery banks. When battery voltage falls below the disconnect threshold, the relay opens and isolates the connected load circuit. This is particularly important for lithium chemistries, which can be permanently damaged or rendered unsafe if discharged beyond their minimum cell voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 230A, the unit handles substantial DC loads including inverters, winches, bow thrusters and other high-current consumers. The microprocessor continuously monitors voltage and applies hysteresis to prevent rapid cycling at the threshold boundary. For installations using a Victron BMS, the Cyrix-Li-load can also accept a direct load disconnect signal from the BMS, giving the battery management system direct control over load shedding independent of voltage alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/24V dual-voltage compatibility means a single unit covers both common DC system voltages, reducing the need to stock separate parts for different installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CYR010230450\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContinuous current rating: 230A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystem voltage: 12V \/ 24V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076022244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoad protection on lithium battery banks in marine and narrowboat electrical systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-essential load shedding in off-grid cabins and mobile off-grid vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan DC systems where lithium batteries power high-current appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverland and expedition vehicles with lithium house battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny 12V or 24V lithium installation requiring automatic low-voltage load disconnect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Cyrix-Li-load 12\/24V-230A intelligent load relay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced marine\/vehicle electrical installer. The Cyrix-Li-load must be wired in series with the load circuit, not the battery charging circuit. Ensure cable sizing is appropriate for the 230A continuous rating and that suitable fusing is fitted as close to the battery as practicable. When integrating with a Victron BMS, refer to the BMS wiring documentation to correctly configure the load disconnect signal. Lithium battery systems carry specific safety requirements; do not attempt installation without a thorough understanding of lithium battery management principles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60201800106318,"sku":"CYR010230450","price":132.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_CYR010230450_-_Cyrix-Li-load_12-24V-230A_intelligent_load_relay.webp?v=1784819091","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-cyrix-li-load-12-24v-230a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
