Victron Energy Smart Battery Protect

The Victron Energy Smart BatteryProtect is an intelligent battery protection device designed to automatically disconnect non-essential DC loads before a battery becomes excessively discharged. This prevents permanent battery damage, extends battery lifespan, and ensures sufficient reserve power remains available for critical applications such as engine starting or system recovery.

Engineered for 12V and 24V battery systems, the Smart BatteryProtect is widely used in solar power systems, backup energy setups, vehicles, marine installations, and off-grid power solutions—making it highly suitable for Tanzania’s growing renewable and backup energy market.

Features & Benefits

• Intelligent Battery Disconnection : Automatically disconnects non-essential loads before the battery is deeply discharged, preventing battery damage and extending overall battery lifespan.
• Supports 12V & 24V Systems : Automatically detects system voltage, making it compatible with a wide range of solar, inverter, automotive, and backup power systems commonly used in Tanzania.
• Bluetooth Configuration via VictronConnect App : Easily set custom engage and disengage voltage levels using a smartphone or tablet, allowing precise control based on battery type and application.
• Predefined Voltage Profiles for Quick Setup : Choose from nine factory-set voltage profiles using the programming pin, ideal for fast installation in the field without a mobile device.
• Protects Starting Power : Ensures sufficient battery charge remains available to crank engines or restart critical systems after load disconnection.
• Low Self-Power Consumption : Designed for energy efficiency, making it ideal for off-grid solar installations and battery-based systems where every amp-hour counts.
• Uni-Directional Current Flow Design : Ensures accurate operation by allowing current flow only from IN to OUT, improving reliability when used with loads or chargers.
• Bluetooth Can Be Disabled : Offers additional security and system stability where wireless access is not required or permitted.
• Multiple Current Ratings Available : Offered in 65A, 100A, and 220A models to match small residential, commercial, and high-load applications.
• Proven Victron Energy Quality : Built to Victron’s high engineering standards for long-term reliability in demanding environments, including heat and off-grid conditions.

Use Cases

• Protects batteries in off-grid solar home systems, preventing deep discharge during extended cloudy days or overnight heavy usage.
• Ensures reliable operation of inverter backup systems in homes and small businesses by disconnecting non-essential loads before batteries are damaged.
• Ideal for rural electrification projects where battery replacement is costly and system reliability is critical.
• Used in telecom towers and communication equipment to safeguard battery banks powering routers, repeaters, and monitoring devices.
• Supports commercial solar installations such as shops, offices, and workshops by maintaining battery health under fluctuating load conditions.
• Prevents battery drain in vehicles, boats, and mobile power systems by disconnecting auxiliary loads while preserving enough power to start engines.
• Suitable for security systems and CCTV setups, ensuring batteries are protected during long power outages.
• Helps manage power in hybrid energy systems (solar + grid or generator) by safely isolating loads when battery voltage drops too low.
• Valuable in remote monitoring and IoT power systems, where unattended battery protection is essential.
• Commonly used in agricultural solar systems powering water pumps, lighting, and control units, protecting batteries from over-discharge.

Value Propositions
