charger

Hi,

what voltage does the Blue Smart Charger range supply when in power supply mode?

thanks

Is anyone using the Phoenix 12/50 charger for Smart Lithium. I am building a system for my rv and the dealer says it is incompatible and recommends the SkyIIa IP44 charger. The SkyIIa will not fit in the space I need it to. The Phoenix charger will work fine for the space. It is my understanding that the Phoenix charger has adjustable Voltage via a computer interface through ve configure and a MK2-usb dongle. I would be using a smart battery protect to disconnect the charger from over voltage via a mini bms.

Thanks

Hello , I have the following older equipment in my ex crew van and would like to add 200w of solar and 240v hook up/charger with a Battery Management System , can anyone steer me to the correct Victron components (if possible) to achieve this?

Thanks Greg

I plan on using two 24/40 Phoenix chargers to charge my Tesla Model S Modules (3) 24v batteries. The batteries should never be charged above 25.2 volts, however the selectable settings for the phoenix chargers are all over 28 volts. How else can I control the voltage levels that these chargers will charge my battery to?

I will also have two inverters running (230v 24/5000 and a 110v 24/3000) but they will not use their charging side because I'll only be using them in inverter mode, due to differences in frequency (50hz on boat, 60hz on shore power). I'll also have a BMV-712 installed as well.

Thanks for any help.

This system is in an RV (caravan). Victron Energy equipment includes SmartSolar MPPT 100/50, MPPT Control, BMV-712, VictronConnect App. Batteries at 100% SOC, 1.81A load, 600W solar array. It seems the controller has difficulty providing only the 1.8 amps drawn by the load steady state when the batteries are floated and not drawing any current. In this case, the solar controller stops supplying current, the battery drives the load, and then the solar controller pulses a bunch of current back into the battery to replace the charge used. Then stops, letting the battery continue to drive the load. This happens every few seconds. Charge current is steady when batteries are less than 100%. Here is a link to a video showing this MPPT 100/50 behavior

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the internal dip switches should be set to on the blue power charger 12/25?

Thanks!

Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger no Smart Battery Sense function.

When will the Smart Battery Sense function be added? in the Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger

Hello,

I have recently purchased the Victron Smartsolar MPPT 100/15 15A 12V 24V Solar Charge Controller. I use this to operate the solar panel in my camper to charge the 2nd battery. My question is, if I can also attach my 1st battery (starter battery) at the outputs LOAD. If I understand correctly, this output is only energized when there is enough or excess energy, right?

Can you help me?

Cheers Boris

Hello.

I currently have a Mastervolt Chargemaster 12/50-3 which is mounted in a cabinet in the salon of my sailboat. I find it to be extremely noisy and the fan hardly ever shuts off even when floating.

As part of a larger upgrade I would like to switch to a charger/inverter which would eventually interface with new Victron LiFePo4 batteries and a VE. bus BMS. A major concern then is the noise level of the charger/inverter. My first choice would be the Multiplus Compact 12/1600, is anyone able to relate their experience with the noise level of this unit? My main concern is with the fan noise of the charger part, the inverter would be used only intermittently so I can tolerate some noise from that.

Another option could be the new Phoenix Smart charger which I assume is silent with no fans, combined with a Phoenix Compact inverter, but this unit is the same size as the Multiplus Compact so it would only be an option if it's much quieter than the Multiplus.

What Battery preset should I have. I have regulator smartsolar 75/15 with victron energy gel 12 165. BAT412151104

Hello to everyone.
I would like to know the below for Skylla-I 24/100:

• Accoustic Noise level
• Solar Radiation level

Hi all,

I am a newbie so forgive my ‘stupid’ questions.

This my configuration.

- 4 pv panels connected to MPPT 100/50

- 2 100ah 12v batteries in series

- phoenix 24 / 1200 inverter

- bmv 712 smart

- blue smart charger 24 / 12 / 1

Now my questions are:

1) is it possible to connect the smart charger parallel with the MPPT to the batteries and keep it switched on all the time.?

2) How will a switched on charger influences the PV/MPPT charging process?

3) Is there any option in e.g. the MPPT to automatic switch on the charger in case the battery voltage get low?

thanks in advance!

Hello, how much AC input current this unit would consume from mains at its max charging power, in this case it would be charging 3 battery banks at full 50A charging power.Thanks

Hi,

i have a bank of 8 AGM batteries providing 48v and 500Ah. I recently put in place a BMV in order to check their charge level, but I'm unable to automatically detect 100% of charge.

According to the manual the parameters that should be set in order to detect fully charged are these:

- Charged Voltage (Vc) currently set at 57.3v

- Tail Current (lt) currently set at 4.0

- Charged detection time (Tcd) currently set at 3 mins.

but SoC remains at 95% and most of times it never sets 100%. I check the battery voltage and at the end of the 9 hours absortion phase stays above Vc value (first screenshot) but it doesn't change to 100% SOC.

Any idea?

thanks

I have a 200w solar panel connected to my pwm light 12v 20a and it was working fine. The light was flashing indicating power coming from the solar panel and into the battery but now the solar input light is showing nothing even though I know there is 19v coming from the solar panel. At one point the battery did run flat and I thought maybe it turned itself off so I disconnected it and reconnected the cables and still nothing. When change the setting I get an 'ff' flash after the setting has been selected. Not sure what this means as it is not in my one page instruction sheet I got with the controller.

Hi Victron Community,

I've just finished restoring a '91 Starcraft Starliner Pop-Up last year, installed a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Solar Charge Controller, Solar Panels and 420AH of batteries. Everything works great. I'm about to add a small refrigerator, vent fans, water pump for the sink, accessory lighting, etc.

The existing Magnetec 6406 has a single AC/DC converter good for 5amps DC MAX... super whimpy, but enough to convert and provide power for a couple overhead lights...the only DC power requirement when the camper was built.

I need some help and a recommendation to replace the Magnetec with something else, newer, more powerful... I really want to find something by Victron, but unless I've missed something, I don't see a comparable product. I want something that will also charge my battery bank from Shore power.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Jason B

Hello

I would like to know the short-circuit current for:

- AGM super cycle batteries

- Multiplus 48/5000/70-100

in order to define the protection devices of my installation.

In addition, it is mandatory to include this information in an electric propulsion boat documentation as pero ISO 16315:2016 Small craft - Electric propulsion system.

I can`t find this information in Victron's documentation, does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks in advance

Greetings to all.

I have on board a Victron Centaur 24v/80A charger charging a bank of 2x2 12V/225Ah lead acid batteries. Recently the batteries started to heat and loose water, when I went to diagnose I found out that the charger is outputting 29.8V regardless of dip switch setting. I found that there is a potentiometer inside and tried adjusting that but I could only reduce the voltage to 29.6V with strange pulsing noise from internal SMPS like it is running on minimum pulsing. I cannot leave the charger like this,it will destroy the batteries. Did someone encounter a similar problem? Is there a solution or should I just buy another charger? This one is about 4yrs old so if its gone already I think I will consider another brand. The one I replaced lasted over 12 yrs. Oh,I tried replacing the batteries with another bank new batteries but the charger is still outputting 29.6V.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.I just finished putting a Quattro with a Digital Multi Control GX panel. and all things worked fine yesterday. But today all the lamps and the inverter lamp are blinking, but only on the Digital Multi Control not on the Quattro 24/5000 some ideas of what it can be?
