Phoenix Smart IP43 SLA/LiFePO4 Charger 12V 30A (1+1) PSC123051085

Important Information: This charger’s output current can be programmed between 7.5 Amps & 30 Amps. All Batteries connected to this charger MUST be capable of a maximum charge rate of the programmed output current. There is no individual charge cycle for each separate battery, therefore all batteries will follow the same charge cycle. As this charger contains an integrated FET battery isolator, It is therefore possible to charge three batteries with a single charger whilst keeping the batteries isolated. Charging current is divided among the batteries dependant on battery state of charge in combination with battery parameters and other circuit parameters. The charger, when connected to multiple batteries will raise the voltage of the lowest battery at the selected full current until it matches the second lowest battery voltage. At this point the available current is spread between these two batteries. When the voltage of the two batteries then matches the third battery the current is divided between the three batteries. All batteries will then reach absorption phase together and cycle together.

This charger requires an AU/NZ AC Power Cord – Sold separately

Bluetooth Smart enabled
Any Bluetooth enabled smart phone, tablet or other device can be used to monitor, to change settings and to update the charger when new software features become available.

Phoenix Smart (1 1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks
The second output, limited to approximately 3A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.

Automatic voltage compensation
The charger compensates for voltage drop over the DC cabling by slightly increasing output voltage when the DC current increases. Please see the manual for details.

Adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – recondition – float – storage
The Phoenix Smart Charger features our well-known ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the charge process relative to the way the battery is being used.

The right amount of charge: variable absorption time
When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the
absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery will be fully charged.

Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode
If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage Mode
The Storage Mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours.
In the Storage Mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries
Charger on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-ion BMS to the remote on-off port.
Alternatively full control of voltage and current can be achieved with Bluetooth.

Fully programmable charge algorithm
The charge algorithm can be programmed with help of Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface.
Three preprogrammed algorithms can be selected with the mode button (see specifications).

Remote on-off
The remote on/off consists of two terminals: Remote H and Remote L.
A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected between H and L.
Alternatively, terminal H can be pulled high, or terminal L can be pulled low.
See manual for details.

VE.Direct interface
For a wired data connection to a Color Control panel, PC or other devices.
Please see the VictronConnect app under Downloads / Software on our website.

Programmable relay
Can be programmed using the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth enabled device to trip on an alarm or other events.

VictronConnect Compatible: VictronConnect lets you get live status information and configure any Victron products which either have Bluetooth built in, or are connected to a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle, or a VE.Direct to USB Interface Find out more about VictronConnect here, or download the App via these links.
