12/24V auto-ranging The BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage Programming made easy The BatteryProtect can be set to engage/disengage at several different voltages. The seven-segment display will indicate which setting has been chosen. A special setting for Li-ion batteries In this mode, the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE. Bus BMS. Note: the BatteryProtect can also be used as a charge interrupter in between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery. See the connection diagram in the manual. Ultra-low current consumption This is important in the case of Li-ion batteries, especially after low voltage shutdown. Please see our Li-ion battery datasheet and the VE. Bus BMS manual for more information. Overvoltage protection To prevent damage to sensitive loads due to over-voltage, the load is disconnected whenever the DC voltage exceeds 16V respectively 32V. Ignition proof No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks. Delayed alarm output The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level during more than 12 seconds. Starting the engine will therefore not activate the alarm. The alarm output is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative (minus) rail, max. current 50 mA. The alarm output is typically used to activate a buzzer, LED, or relay. Delayed load disconnect and delayed reconnect The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm has been activated. If the battery voltage increases again to the connect threshold within this time period (after the engine has been started for example), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased to more than the preset reconnect voltage.

I got this device to help Protect my 100AH 12v battery to not completely drain when I use it on my inverter and it really has been working great.
When 12v is reached, it stops supply to the inverter. My inverter which is not Victron brand, cuts off at low voltages of 10v-11.6v. The battery protector has preset cut off voltages that you can set.
Unlike most controllers, you can vary not just the startup pressure (which is what most other units do), but also the ongoing, running pressure output.
The controller is also much smarter than most of the slightly cheaper ones- it doesn't just give up for 24 hours if it gets no flow,for example, as some others do. For an extra 10% or 20% on the price, it's well worth the money to get a
much smarter product, that's clearly had a lot of thought go into the software.
The instructions, translated from Italian, are not the clearest, though.
