Victron Smart BatteryProtect

The Smart BatteryProtect cuts your loads off before they run the battery too low. Sensa shows whether its output is on, and why it switched off.

How it connects​

Over Bluetooth. Sensa needs to be within Bluetooth range, either of the unit itself or of a Bluetooth Proxy near your batteries.

You also need its Encryption key. In the VictronConnect app, open the BatteryProtect, then Settings > Product info > Instant readout via Bluetooth > Show.

Add to Sensa Nomad​

Sensa finds it on its own, with a Protect label. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick it under Discovered and enter the Encryption key in the box that appears. Then press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see​

A card on the Habitation Electrical tab, beneath the power-flow diagram, and on the Mobile dashboard. It shows whichever of these your unit reports: output on or off, input voltage, output voltage, state, alarm, warning, off reason and error.

Good to know​

  • It is read only. Sensa shows the BatteryProtect's state but does not switch it.
  • It carries the Unverified label for now, as we have not yet run one on our bench. See Devices.
  • Firmware is updated from the VictronConnect app, not from Sensa.
