Using "battery protect" product to prevent battery bank over discharge by inverter

I have a very modest 480W solar 12V PV system, using MPPT charge controller, AGM batteries and a small (300W ) inverter (no victron products in use, unfortunately).

Like most similar systems, small DC loads can be managed (shut off, timed etc) by using the load output terminals of the solar charge controller.

To further protect the battery bank from over discharge, can the battery protect product be used to prevent the DC inverter draining the battery bank down to the inverter cut off voltage (10.5V)?


Many thanks

No, the BatteryProtect can't be used to switch inverters.
