Battery protectors

Battery protectors

Battery protectors are essential devices in any photovoltaic system that uses batteries for storage. Their main function is to prevent damage due to overcharging, over-discharging and short circuits, thus ensuring optimum performance and longer battery life.

When a battery is discharged below its safe level, its storage capacity can be permanently affected. Similarly, overcharging can cause overheating and premature degradation. A victron battery protect acts as a smart barrier, automatically disconnecting loads when the voltage drops below a critical threshold and reconnecting them when the battery is ready to operate again.

Features and Benefits of using a victron battery protector

• Automatic load disconnection: Battery protection protects the battery by preventing it from discharging below the set safe level.
• Overcharge prevention: The victron battery protect prevents the battery from receiving more energy than recommended, preventing internal damage.
• Short circuit protection: The victron battery protector minimises the risk of electrical faults and improves the safety of the system.
• Optimised battery life: A smart battery protector reduces premature wear and maintains battery performance over time by using a lithium battery protector.
• Low power consumption: Battery protectors consume a minimal amount of power in idle state, without affecting the efficiency of the system.
• Compatibility with different battery types: A victron smart battery protector can be used for lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium batteries.
• See the battery protect victron manual for more information on these devices.

Types of lithium battery protectors

• Standard Battery Protector: Offers automatic load disconnection when the battery voltage drops below a set threshold.
• Smart Battery Protectors (Smart Battery Protect): Allow advanced configuration via mobile applications through the use of Bluetooth. These devices offer customisable disconnection and reconnection settings, as well as overcurrent and power failure protection.

Why buy battery protection?

In solar installations with energy storage, batteries are one of the most expensive and sensitive components. Without a suitable victron energy battery protector, they can suffer from deep discharges that affect their charging capacity, or overcharges that overheat them and reduce their efficiency. A victron battery protect helps prevent these problems, ensuring that your energy storage investment stays in top condition for longer.
