Description
xVictron Smart BatteryProtect 12/24V-65A — BPR065022000
The Victron Smart BatteryProtect is a load disconnect device designed to protect 12V and 24V batteries from over-discharge and over-voltage damage. Rated at 65A continuous, it is suited to off-grid systems, marine installations, campervans, and any application where battery health and load management are critical. It connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, giving installers and end users direct visibility of operating status and configuration.
Key Features
- Continuous 65A load disconnect rating, compatible with 12V and 24V battery systems.
- Bluetooth connectivity built in, configurable and monitorable via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- Programmable low-voltage disconnect and reconnect thresholds to suit different battery chemistries and system requirements.
- Programmable high-voltage (over-voltage) disconnect to protect sensitive loads from voltage spikes.
- Li-ion battery mode available, enabling direct communication with compatible Victron lithium battery management systems via a dedicated port.
- Alarm output available to signal low-voltage conditions to external devices or indicators.
- Compact and lightweight at 205g, suitable for installation in confined spaces.
- No quiescent current draw when in the off state, preserving battery charge when loads are disconnected.
Product Overview
The Smart BatteryProtect monitors battery voltage continuously and disconnects the load circuit when voltage drops below a user-defined threshold. This prevents deep discharge, which is the primary cause of premature battery failure in off-grid and mobile systems. Once battery voltage recovers to the reconnect threshold (also user-defined), the load is automatically reconnected. The delay between disconnect and reconnect is configurable, which prevents rapid cycling in systems where voltage recovery is slow.
The Bluetooth interface sets this unit apart from standard battery protects. Using VictronConnect, an installer can set all thresholds, select the operating mode (including Li-ion mode for use with Victron Smart Lithium batteries), view real-time voltage and status, and review historical data. This removes the need for physical DIP switches or jumpers during commissioning and makes remote diagnostics straightforward. The Li-ion mode allows the BatteryProtect to receive a remote on/off signal from a compatible BMS, so the BMS controls load disconnection directly rather than relying solely on voltage thresholds.
The unit is a one-way device: it is designed to protect loads from the battery, not to carry charging current. It must not be installed between a charger and a battery. The 65A rating covers the majority of auxiliary load circuits in leisure, marine, and light commercial off-grid applications.

Installation Notes
The Smart BatteryProtect must be installed in the load circuit only, between the battery and the DC loads. It must not be placed in a charging circuit or used to disconnect a charger from a battery, as reverse current flow will damage the unit. Ensure the cable sizing and fusing on both the input and output sides are appropriate for the 65A rating and the specific installation. For lithium battery systems, verify compatibility with the BMS before enabling Li-ion mode. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC power systems.
