Meet the Victron Battery Balancer, a precise device that equalizes the state of charge across two series-connected 12V batteries or across multiple parallel strings in a 24V system. By maintaining a balanced SOC, it supports consistent performance and can help extend the life of your battery bank.
-
Purpose: Equalizes the state of charge across two series-connected 12V batteries or across multiple parallel strings of series-connected batteries in a 24V system.
-
Activation threshold: Activates when the 24V system charge voltage rises above 27V to begin balancing.
-
Balancing mechanism: Compares voltages between the two series-connected batteries and draws current from the higher-voltage string to drive balance.
-
Balance current: Draws up to 1A from the highest-voltage battery or parallel strings to create a differential that brings all cells to the same SOC.
-
Scalability: Can be paralleled with multiple balancers for larger installations; a 48V bank can be balanced with three Battery Balancers, offering flexible configuration for higher-voltage setups.
-
Compatibility & configuration: Operates in 24V systems and scales to higher voltages when used with multiple units (e.g., to balance a 48V bank with three units).

Safety notice: WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to P65Warnings.ca.gov.
By balancing voltages across connected battery strings, the Victron Battery Balancer helps maintain an even state of charge, supporting consistent performance and potentially extending the life of the battery bank. Its 24V operation and scalable design make it suitable for both small installations and expanding setups, including 48V configurations when used with three units.
