Low Voltage Disconnect Unit Protects Batteries from Over-Discharge
DMS technologies, specialist in batteries and battery systems, has released a Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) - a low power device that can be used to protect batteries from damage and help extend battery life.
The The unit has a very low residual current drain, particularly when compared with other similar LVD products. The 3 state-of-charge LEDs adjust automatically when on load providing an accurate visual indication of remaining battery capacity.
A multi-pole connector provides access to the functions remotely allowing the user to set up off-board switches and LEDs. It can control currents up to 10A on board and can control an external relay to allow for load currents up to 200A. For safety, the unit is fully isolated and protected against spikes, surges and reverse polarity connection
