Victron Cyrix-Li-load 12/24V-230A: Intelligent Load Disconnect for LiFePO4 Battery Systems

Precision Protection for Your Lithium Battery Investment

The Victron Cyrix-Li-load 12/24V-230A is a specialised intelligent load relay engineered to safeguard LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries from damaging under-voltage conditions. Designed to integrate seamlessly with a VE.Bus BMS, this relay acts as a critical second line of defence, automatically disconnecting loads when cell voltages approach unsafe levels. By preventing deep discharge, it helps extend battery cycle life and maintain system reliability in mobile, marine, and off-grid applications.

Unlike generic voltage-sensitive relays, the Cyrix-Li-load responds directly to the BMS control signal, ensuring precise, cell-level protection rather than relying solely on overall battery voltage. This targeted approach reduces the risk of premature cell failure and the associated downtime or replacement costs.

How It Works: BMS-Driven Load Management

The Cyrix-Li-load engages when its control input receives a high signal (approximately battery voltage) from the VE.Bus BMS, allowing normal load operation. If the BMS detects an imminent cell under-voltage, it releases the control input, causing the relay to disengage and isolate the loads. This immediate response prevents further discharge and protects the cells.

After disconnection, battery voltage often recovers slightly. The Cyrix-Li-load will attempt to re-engage after a 30-second delay. If the under-voltage condition persists, it will try up to three times before locking out. To reset, the battery voltage must rise above 13 V (26 V for 24 V systems) for at least 30 seconds, indicating that charging has resumed. This intelligent logic avoids nuisance cycling while ensuring loads are only reconnected when safe.

Key Features at a Glance

  • 230 A continuous rating at 12 V or 24 V, suitable for high-demand DC loads
  • Direct BMS integration via included 1-metre control cable for precise cell-level protection
  • Low power consumption (<4 mA when open) to minimise drain on the battery
  • IP54 protection against dust and water spray, ideal for engine rooms and exposed installations
  • LED status indicator for at-a-glance monitoring of relay state and alarm conditions
  • Compact, lightweight design (65 x 100 x 50 mm, 0.27 kg) for flexible mounting
  • M8 stud terminals (approx. 5/16") accept heavy-duty lugs for secure, low-resistance connections

Built for Demanding Environments

With an IP54-rated enclosure, the Cyrix-Li-load resists dust ingress and splashing water, making it suitable for use in marine engine compartments, vehicle under-bonnet installations, and other harsh settings. The robust M8 stud terminals ensure reliable high-current connections, while the integrated transient voltage suppressor protects against spikes that can occur during sudden disconnection.

Applications: Where Precision Load Control Matters

This relay is essential in any LiFePO4 system where loads cannot be directly controlled by the VE.Bus BMS. Typical use cases include:

  • Marine and RV electrical systems – Protect house batteries from being drained by DC distribution panels, inverters, or other loads
  • Off-grid solar installations – Prevent over-discharge of lithium battery banks in remote power systems
  • Industrial and mobile equipment – Safeguard batteries in electric vehicles, forklifts, or portable power packs

For systems requiring ultra-low standby consumption, a Victron BatteryProtect may be considered as an alternative. However, the Cyrix-Li-load offers the advantage of bidirectional current flow and higher continuous current handling.

Installation and Compatibility

The Cyrix-Li-load is designed for straightforward integration with Victron VE.Bus BMS units. The included control cable connects directly to the BMS load disconnect output. Always ensure the relay is installed in a well-ventilated area and that cable sizing is appropriate for the 230 A continuous rating. Note that typical de-rating factors apply for sustained high-current operation; refer to installation guidelines for optimal performance.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.

Sturdy, Easy to Set Up, and Looks Great
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I’m really happy with this RANTILA 3-panel room divider. It was simple to set up, stands securely on its own, and gives plenty of privacy. The height is perfect, and the panels look clean and modern in my space. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels sturdy. Overall, a great divider that works exactly as I needed.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.

Perfect for what I needed - getting a 2nd one.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Putting it together was a BEE-OTCH!! Yes, one of the tubes had the top cap installed at the wrong end (& getting it off required tools), and yes, stretching the fabric to get the screws in was incredibly hard...but am I buying another one? YES! After all is said and done, this is a great room divider. I opted out of installing the paddle feet & it still works perfect. It won't filter light all that great and even though it stands on its own, it can be blown over easily - but for the price? Excellent. If I wanted a heavy duty, thicker, more expensive one, I would've bought one. The 2nd one is on the way. Perfect height, no weird smell, nice and light and easy to move around.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN 😊
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I purchased RANTILA 3 Panel Room Divider, 6 Ft Tall Folding Privacy Screen Freestanding Room Partition Wall Dividers, 102''W x 20''D x 71''H, Grey. For outdoor use on my patio is perfect . PRIVACY!!! YAY! It was packaged very carefully. There were no missing parts. Instructions were there but I still had to use the video visually. A few screws would not screw in. So I used a hammer with a few good taps that helped using the screw driver. 😊 It was easy putting it together following the directions. Everything is well made. Love the height, functionality and it’s definitely light it works. Thank you
