Without Bluetooth models: 12/24V-65A, 12/24V-100A, 12/24V-220A, 48V-100ASmart Bluetooth models: 12/24V-65A, 12/24V-100A, 12/24V-220A, 48V-100AThe BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. The BatteryProtect can be set to engage / disengage at several different voltages. The seven segment display will indicate which setting has been chosen. Ignition Proof: No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks.Automatically detects system voltage. Can be set to engage / disengage at several different voltages.The Smart BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. When using Bluetooth to program the Smart BatteryProtect any required engage/disengage levels can be set. Alternatively, one of nine predefined engage/disengage levels can be set with the programming pin (see manual). If required, Bluetooth can be disabled.

That panel kit seems pretty decent for the price, though my preference is for MPPT charge controllers to make better use of the panels. The only thing I'd change would be to go with a 100Ah AGM battery instead of the 35. This will give you a few days of reserve in case of several days of overcast weather. Charge controllers are designed to not discharge the battery significantly in the absence of power from the PV panels.
I would recommend getting a programmable battery protect device like this: https://www.amazon.com/Victron-BPR000100400-BatteryProtect-12-24V-100A/dp/B07PJ1SW9Z/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=victron%2Bbattery%2Bprotect&qid=1573055913&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-4&th=1
Your biggest consumable investment with this system will be the battery, so spending money to protect it is generally a good idea. If you keep your SOC above 75%, i.e. never use more than a quarter of the battery's Ah in any given charge/discharge cycle, you can expect an AGM battery to last thousands of discharge cycles.
