1. Introduction
The Smart BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine.
It also provides an alternative to disable chargers without a remote on/off port to protect from over-voltage.
Compared to the BatteryProtect, the Smart BatteryProtect can be conveniently programmed via Bluetooth and our VictronConnect app. Another way to program the SBP is the PROG pin to GND pin method. All necessary parameters can be set in this way.
VictronConnect also offers the option of Instant Readout, which allows key values, including notifications for warnings, alarms and errors, to be read and displayed in real time without requiring a paired connection to the Smart BatteryProtect, enabling diagnostics at a glance.
The Smart BatteryProtect is a uni-directional device. It can only deal with current in one direction, so either current to a load, or current from a charger, but not both currents at the same time. In addition to this, current can only flow from the IN terminal to the OUT terminal.
