Victron Energy Smart BatteryProtect, 12/24V, 6-35V, Bluetooth

Overview

The Victron Energy Smart BatteryProtect is a 12V/24V battery protection and load-disconnect device for DC systems that need to protect a battery bank from deep discharge. It operates across a 6-35V DC input range and automatically detects system voltage once, making it suitable for common 12V and 24V boat electrical systems when installed within its current rating.

It disconnects non-essential loads before the battery is drawn too low, or before there is too little reserve left to crank an engine. On cruising boats, fishing boats, and small commercial craft, that makes it useful for separating house loads such as lighting, electronics, pumps, refrigeration controls, or other DC circuits that should not drain the battery bank past a safe point.

Programming is handled by Bluetooth through VictronConnect, with adjustable engage and disengage levels. The unit can also be set with one of nine predefined voltage levels using the programming pin, and Bluetooth can be disabled when that suits the installation.

Key features

• 6-35V DC operating range with 12/24V auto-ranging for common low-voltage marine battery systems.
• Disconnects non-essential DC loads before excessive discharge damages the battery or leaves too little power for engine starting.
• Bluetooth setup through VictronConnect for adjustable engage and disengage voltage levels.
• Nine predefined voltage programs can be set with the programming pin when app setup is not used.
• On/off input can serve as a system on/off switch for a controlled DC load circuit.
• Electronics are potted with an IP67 rating, while the terminals are IP00 and should be mounted where connections are protected.
• MOSFET switching avoids relay sparks and supports ignition-proof operation for appropriate DC installations.
• Delayed alarm output, 90-second load disconnect delay, and 30-second reconnect delay help reduce nuisance trips during engine starts and short voltage dips.
• Special Li-ion setting allows control by a VE.Bus BMS in compatible Victron lithium battery systems.

Variants

The Smart BatteryProtect range is offered in three current ratings so the product can be matched to the load circuit it will control.

The amperage rating, terminal size, weight, and physical dimensions vary between variants. The 6-35V operating range, 12/24V auto-ranging behavior, Bluetooth programming, alarm timing, and electronic IP67 potting are consistent across these three models.

• BPR110022000, Amperage 100A. This version uses M8 connections and has a 61 x 41 x 164 mm body, which suits many house-load and distribution-feed installations where 65A is not enough.
• BPR122022000, Amperage 220A. This version uses M8 connections and has a 60 x 123 x 121 mm body, giving more current capacity for larger DC load banks that still require a one-way BatteryProtect installation.
• BPR065022000, Amperage 65A. This version uses M6 connections and has a 48 x 55 x 106 mm body, keeping the installation footprint small for lighter DC load circuits.

Installation and setup

The Smart BatteryProtect is a uni-directional device, so current must flow from the IN terminal to the OUT terminal. For load protection, the battery connects to the IN terminal and the load side connects to OUT. It is not a general bidirectional battery combiner, and it is not made for reverse current from charging sources.

Because the electronics are potted but the connections are IP00, the unit belongs in a protected electrical space such as a dry locker, electrical panel area, or battery compartment with proper terminal covers and strain relief. Use appropriately sized cable, circuit protection, and torque values for the selected model and the current carried by the circuit.

Electrical integration

The alarm output activates after the battery voltage stays below the preset disconnect level for more than 12 seconds. It is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative rail with a maximum load of 50 mA, commonly used for a buzzer, LED, or relay input.

Over-voltage protection disconnects the load when DC voltage rises above 16.3V on a 12V system or 32.6V on a 24V system. Low current consumption also matters on boats left unattended at a mooring or dock, especially after a low-voltage shutdown.

Use on board

This product is a practical match for boat owners building or refitting a 12V or 24V DC system where house loads need automatic low-voltage protection. It is also useful when a remote on/off function is needed for a protected load circuit, as long as the installation follows the one-way current-flow requirement.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.

Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.

Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
