I've had the durite unit fitted for 2 years. Dual sensing and works a treat.

Shop around and you can get them for £5 or £6 cheaper than that too!

The victron unit runs at around £90

I emailed technical at durite dot co dot uk as follows :

Please can you tell me whether your voltage sensitive relay (part number 0-727-33) is dual sensing (bidirectional) or not ?

and got the response :

No it is not bi-directional.

IIRC, you actually tested yours so maybe they've changed the design since then ?

BEPs are available with much greater current capacity. Mine is a 90amp model and they do at least two bigger ones.

Also check ebay - I got a BEP one for £40 and its 125amp dual sensing - and it was new.
