Smart IP43 Charger

3. Features

In this section:

  1. 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).

  2. Integrated charge presets

  3. Multi-stage charge algorithm

    The multi-stage charge algorithm is specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over extended periods.

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

  6. Durable and safe

    Engineered to provide years of trouble-free and dependable operation in all usage conditions:

    2. Protection against output short circuit: If a short circuit condition is detected the charger will shut down

  7. Silent operation

  8. Lithium Ion compatible

    Compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO₄) 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.

  9. Storage stage

    An additional stage to extend battery life whilst the battery is unused and on continuous charge.

  10. Recondition stage

    An optional stage that can partially recover/reverse lead acid battery degradation due to sulfation; typically caused by inadequate charging or if the battery is left in a deeply discharged state.

  11. Configurable output current

  12. Recovery function

    The charger will attempt to recharge a severely discharged battery (even down to 0V) with low current and then resume normal charging once the battery voltage has risen sufficiently; many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state.

  13. Power supply mode

    A specific mode to use the charger as a DC power supply; to power equipment at a constant voltage with or without a battery connected.
