Video Transcript for Review of Victron BatteryProtect 12/24V 65A - VN72ZR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Victron Battery Protect. Now this is a smart safety switch for your battery. Its main job is to protect your battery from being drained too low, which is one of the fastest ways to shorten your battery's lifespan. This is going to work with both 12 volt and 24 volt systems automatically so you don't have to configure it for one or the other. Once installed this is going to monitor the battery voltage and it will disconnect non-essential loads if the voltage drops too far.

That way your battery doesn't get damaged by deep discharge. So this is rated for up to 65 amps of continuous current, which makes it a good fit for smaller to mid-size loads in your RV, marine, solar, and off-grid systems. Things like lighting circuits, electronics, or accessory power systems. When the battery voltage recovers, this battery protect will automatically reconnect the load. So this is gonna prevent dead batteries.

This is gonna extend your battery life. This is going to work automatically in the background. It's gonna be reliable and simple. No complicated setup. Let me go ahead and give you some measurements here just so you have a good idea of the size.

Beginning with the overall length, we're sitting pretty close to four and a quarter inches long. And then not measuring those mounting brackets, about two and five eights to two or three quarters inches long. Looking at the, what I'm calling the width about one and seven eight inches. And then the height, including the terminals here about, again, one and seven eighth inches. So if you're running a battery based system and you want peace of mind that your battery won't get accidentally drained too far, this battery protect is going to be a straightforward, proven solution for you to consider.

It does include instructions as well to guide you through the simple setup and operation. Now, we do also have a version of this that is, that you can control via Bluetooth. It's actually called a Smart Battery Protect. So that is an essentially an updated version of this unit that we have just finished looking at. It includes Bluetooth support, so you're gonna be able to program that Smart Battery Protect that you see there on your screen with the Victron Connect app on your smartphone. If you're interested in that one instead, you can take that part number that you see there on your screen, pop it in the search field of our website. That will take you to the Smart Battery Protect. You can add that to your order instead. But if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
