Battery Protect and anchor winch

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi all, I have installed Lithium battery on board which also drives an electrical anchor winch. In order to protect the battery to be discharged completely which will damage the battery I have included a Battery Protect from Victron. Will this properly work of can I expect issues while using the winch? Thanks for your feedback and advise.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for te response.

I have the Battery Protect 12V 220A and the normal current expected is approx 50 to 60 Amps from the the anchor winch Lewmar 1000 Pro.

I made a short test with the setup and the winch seems to work properly without any disturbance in the power from the BatteryProtect.

Regards, Ronald
