KiloVault® BE24 Battery Balancer
Instruction Manual
APPLICATION
The battery balancer BE24 is intended for use with a connected series of 12V
lead-acid batteries to maintain battery voltage balance. This includes Gel,
Flood, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LFP), and AGM lead-acid batteries.
When two or more in-series connected batteries develop a voltage difference of
20mV or more, the battery balancer will shunt current from the higher voltage
battery to the lower voltage battery until the voltage in the system is
balanced. This improves performance and extends battery life.
The battery balancer BE24 can be used for 24V, 36V, 48V and any other N*12V
battery system.
- 1 piece for 24V system
- 2 pieces for 36V system
- 3 pieces for 48V system

- The LED indicators work using the working voltage of the batteries
INSTALLATION
Simply connect the red cables to the positive (+) terminals and the black
cables to the negative (–) terminals. Be sure to connect all positive (+)
connections before the negative (–) connections to avoid short circuits.
Batteries may be connected in series or in parallel.
CAUTION
Before you connect the BE24 to your battery bank, charge the batteries to the
same voltage. The BE24 works best when the batteries start at the same
voltage. Batteries with large voltage differences will cause the BE24 to
overheat.
Notes:
- If there are unused cables, leave the protective terminal tubes in place to avoid short circuits.
- Do not allow any of the terminals touch each other.
- To make the connections shown in the following diagrams, you will need to add a t-splice with 14 AWG wire (not included) to the end of the white wire.
- Please make sure that the connections in your splices are tight, secure, and solid. Loose connections will cause equipment damage through heat.
