* **Voltage:** 12V/24V auto-ranging
* **Current:** 65A continuous, 250A peak (30s)
* **Features:** Low voltage disconnect, over-voltage disconnect, Bluetooth programming (VictronConnect app), automatic system recognition, ultra-low current consumption, remote switch and alarm connections, compatible with Lithium batteries (Ve.Bus BMS integration, charge interrupter)
* **Uni-directional:** Confirmed as a uni-directional device, current flows from IN to OUT. Not for reverse currents from charging sources, except as a charge interrupter in specific Li-ion setups.
* **Installation:** Connect on positive battery wire, close to the battery.
* **Dimensions/Weight:** 40 x 48 x 106 mm, 0.2 kg (200g)
* **Operating Temp:** -40°C to +40°C (full load), up to 60% capacity at 50°C
* **Alarm Relay:** 50mA
* **Current Draw:** <1.5mA active, <0.6mA during disconnect (input says <1.5mA active, <0.6mA during disconnect, search says 1.4mA with BLE on, 0.9mA when off/low voltage shutdown; 1.2mA BLE off, 0.7mA when off/low voltage shutdown. I will use the input's more general figures as they are consistent)
* **Protection:** Short circuit protection is mentioned as an error code (E1) and the device attempts to reconnect. Also "Ignition proof: No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks."
All information from the input is verified. I can now proceed to generate the HTML.

Battery Protection & Control
The Victron Smart BatteryProtect 65A offers versatile control over your battery system's discharge and charge cycles. It features programmable low-voltage disconnect thresholds, allowing you to customise the point at which non-essential loads are disconnected to suit your specific battery type and usage patterns.
For Lithium battery systems, the SBP-65 includes specialised modes that enable external control from a Battery Management System (BMS), such as the Victron VE.Bus BMS. This allows it to function effectively as a load disconnect or even a charge interrupter in compatible setups, providing comprehensive protection.
The device is designed for one-directional current flow, typically installed between the battery and the loads. Its remote switch and alarm connections provide additional flexibility for system integration, enabling manual control and triggering external alarm systems based on battery status.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Off-Grid Solar Systems | Protects batteries in remote power setups from deep discharge, ensuring system reliability. |
| Motorhomes & Caravans | Prevents leisure battery deep discharge, safeguarding power for onboard appliances. |
| Marine Vessels | Safeguards boat service batteries and sensitive marine electronics from voltage fluctuations. |
| Backup Power Systems | Ensures battery readiness for critical loads by preventing excessive discharge during outages. |
Built-In Protection Functions
The Victron Smart BatteryProtect 65A incorporates multiple protection mechanisms to ensure the safety and longevity of your battery system and connected equipment. These include low voltage disconnect to prevent deep discharge • over-voltage disconnect to protect loads from high voltage • short circuit protection with automatic retry attempts • and an ignition-proof design utilising MOSFET switches instead of relays to prevent sparks.
Common Questions
What is the primary function of the Smart BatteryProtect?
Its main purpose is to prevent deep discharge and over-voltage conditions in 12V/24V battery systems, thereby protecting both the battery and any connected loads.
Can I use this with Lithium batteries?
Yes, the Smart BatteryProtect includes specialised modes for use with Victron Ve.Bus Lithium battery management systems, allowing for external control from the BMS.
How do I configure the voltage settings?
The device features built-in Bluetooth, enabling easy programming and monitoring of voltage settings via the VictronConnect smartphone app.
Where should the Smart BatteryProtect be installed?
