Smart IP43 Charger 3. Features A. Bluetooth setup and monitoring (Using VictronConnect) Equipped with integrated Bluetooth; enabling quick and simple setup, advanced configuration, comprehensive monitoring and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet). B.
VE.Smart Network compatible VE.Smart Networking capability allows multiple chargers to operate in unison with synchronised charging, and receive accurate battery voltage (Volt-sense), charge current (Current-sense) and battery temperature (Temp-sense) data from a compatible battery monitor (such as a BMV, SmartShunt, Smart Battery Sense or VE.Bus Smart Dongle) to further enhance the charge cycle. C.
VE.Direct interface Fully integrate with a GX device (such as a Cerbo GX) via VE.Direct interface, enabling system monitoring and control from a single device and connectivity to the VRM (Victron Remote Monitoring) portal for data logging and remote access to real time monitoring, as well as control of the charger. D. Integrated charge presets Integrated charge presets (selected via the MODE button or VictronConnect app) combined with adaptive charge logic are well suited for most common battery types; such as LiFePO4, AGM, Gel and flooded lead-acid. Advanced configuration with specific user defined settings is also possible using VictronConnect . E.
Multi-stage charge algorithm The multi-stage charge algorithm is specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over extended periods. F. Adaptive absorption Adaptive absorption monitors the battery’s response during initial charging and intelligently determines the appropriate absorption duration for each individual charge cycle. This ensures that the battery is fully recharged regardless of the discharge level or capacity and avoids excessive time at the elevated absorption voltage (that can accelerate battery aging). G.
Temperature compensation Charge voltage is automatically compensated depending on the ambient temperature; this ensures that the battery is charged at the optimal charge voltage regardless of the climate and avoids the need for manual settings adjustments. Temperature compensation is not required and automatically disabled when in LI-ION charge mode. H. High efficiency The Smart IP43 Charger range is up to ~96% efficient; resulting in lower power usage, less heat generated and cooler operation I. Durable and safe Engineered to provide years of trouble-free and dependable operation in all usage conditions: i. Protection against overheating:
Output current will be derated if the ambient temperature increases above 40°C (linear derate from 100% at 40°C to 25% at 60°C) ii. Protection against output short circuit: If a short circuit condition is detected the charger will shut down iii. Protection against reverse polarity connection: If the charger is incorrectly connected to a battery with reverse polarity the internal (non-replaceable) fuse will blow J. Silent operation Silent operation since there is no cooling fan, cooling is via natural convection; full rated output current is still provided up to an ambient temperature of 40°C. K.
Lithium Ion compatible Compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO ₄ ) batteries; when the integrated LI-ION charge mode is selected the charge cycle settings are altered to suit. If the charger is connected to a battery where under voltage protection (UVP) has tripped, it will automatically reset UVP and start charging; many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state. Warning: Do not charge Li-ion batteries if the battery temperature is below 0°C. L. Storage stage An additional stage to extend battery life whilst the battery is unused and on continuous charge.
