Can I use the H & L remote inputs of the Battery Protect at the same time?

Hi all,

Can I use the H & L remote inputs on a Battery Protect 65 at the same time from two different sources?

Ideally I'd like to use the High level input for a rocker switch to turn the BP65 on/off. & I'd like to use the Low level input for a BMV-712, SOC relay to switch the BP65 on/off.

I accept I could use both the switch & relay in series and switch either one of the H/L inputs. However being able to use both at the same time, in my case would reduce complexity & wiring.


Thanks for you input.

From the data sheet, it looks like there is only one remote control loop - screenshot-from-2021-07-20-15-28-04.png

So it looks like you will have to wire your switch and relay in series to make that work...

Thanks Mike,

bp65.pngThe alternative to the remote loop is to use either the H/L inputs. H for battery positive, L for battery negative.

Again, really just interested to know if anything will be damaged if I put 12vdc on the H input and 0vdc on the low at the same time.

I was wondering the same thing. In the manual of the orion dc-to-dc it shows both a connection to a switch (ignition in this case) and the BMS (ATC in this case). Why would the battery protect be different?img-3969.jpeg
