Victron Energy Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (1+1) 120-240VAC with Bluetooth Monitoring

Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (1+1) 120-240VAC Requires 5-15P Mains Cord

With boat owners in mind, this adaptive 5-step charger can provide either 30A or 50A of charge to each of the three battery banks. Or the Phoenix 1+1 model provides 3A to the starter battery, the rest to the house bank. 24V models are available with a 16A/25A charge. Bluetooth enabled, you can monitor the charger and set alarms straight from your phone.

Features:

• Bluetooth Smart built-in: The wireless solution to set up, monitor, update and synchronize Phoenix Smart IP43 Chargers.


• Phoenix Smart (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks: The second output, limited to approximately 4A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.


• Phoenix Smart (3): three full current outputs to charge 3 battery banks: Each output can supply the full rated output current. But the total of the 3 outputs combined can never exceed the current rating of the charger.


• Automatic voltage compensation: The charger compensates for voltage drop over the DC cabling by slightly increasing output voltage when the DC current increases.


• Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm: bulk absorption recondition float storage refresh: 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 optimize the charging 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 for 24 hours. In the Storage Mode, float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimize 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.


• Optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth: A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more Phoenix Smart IP43 Chargers.


• 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.


• VE.Direct interface: For a wired data connection to a Color Control panel, PC, or other devices.


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


• Synchronized charging: Pairing two or more Phoenix Smart IP43 Chargers in a VE.Smart Network, enables synchronized charging. This improves the charge efficiency and battery life.

The Victron Energy Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (Part Number: PSC242551095) is a versatile and efficient battery charger designed for marine and RV applications. This adaptive 5-step charger offers flexible configurations, providing either 30A or 50A to each of three battery banks or a dedicated 3A to the starter battery in the 1+1 model. Its compatibility with 24V systems, supporting 16A and 25A charge rates, makes it suitable for a variety of battery setups. Equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology, it allows users to monitor, configure, and update the charger remotely via a smartphone, enhancing convenience and control.
The charger features automatic voltage compensation, which adjusts the output voltage to counteract voltage drops over DC cables, ensuring optimal charging efficiency. Its adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm includes bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, and refresh modes. This system automatically adjusts the charging process based on the battery's condition and usage, preventing overcharging during shallow discharges and ensuring complete recharge after deep discharges. The BatterySafe mode limits the voltage rise when high charge currents are used, preventing excessive gassing and potential damage. When batteries are not in use for over 24 hours, the Storage Mode reduces float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion, extending battery life and reducing maintenance.
The charger also supports charging Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, with remote on/off control options through relay or Bluetooth, and allows for external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth with compatible sensors. The VE.Direct interface provides a wired connection to control panels, PCs, or other devices, while programmable relays can trigger alarms or other events. Additionally, the Phoenix Smart IP43 can synchronize multiple units in a VE.Smart Network, optimizing charging efficiency and extending battery life. The compact design and included mains cord make installation straightforward, and detailed operation instructions are available through the provided manual link. This charger's advanced features and remote management capabilities make it an ideal choice for demanding marine and RV applications, ensuring reliable and efficient battery maintenance.
