Victron EnergyBattery Balancer

Quite how much this is having an effect on the batteries time will tell but it does work when it needs to if the cells are becoming unbalanced

I ordered this when I changed from Lead Acid Leisure batteries in my van to LiFePO4 - I needed to balance the 2 batteries which are wired in series to give me 24v Works like a charm - well built - comes with clear instructions

Don't expect it to do miracles straight away, however after a couple charges you'll notice the batteries becoming more balanced. Victron has great statistics for this drift in their products.It would be better if it could use more current to divert to the other battery however I guess the idea of it is to balance gradually.

Unlike other Victron products, I don't think the battery balancer can link up to the Victron app. Therefore, I don't think there's any way to see voltages or the extent of any balancing. Furthermore, I think it only cuts in above 27v, which seems too high to me. All in, it's too expensive to simply trust it might be achieving something in the background.

I have several pieces of victron equipment, and purchased these elsewhere.The units are well presented and easy to install.I purchased 3 units to balance 4*2 month old identical series connected batteries. The ‘switch on’ voltage means the batteries are left to diverge below this voltage as the units are off. The final straw came over a week after these units were first connected, when two of the units ‘buzzed’ their relays for around 5 minutes, that is fast switched them on and off! This is awful for relay service life.I generally pick Victron equipment for its solid quality; however, I’ll be looking for an alternate solution for balancing.

Unlike most victron kit this is not great, very noisy, struggles to balance well, could do better victron
