Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 50 Amps

A 5-stage shore power charger that supplies 50A to each of the three battery banks. Alternatively, the Phoenix 2+1 model supplies 3A to the starter battery and the rest to the 'house' bank. Thanks to Bluetooth, you can monitor the charger and set alarms directly from your phone.

Bluetooth Smart enabled- You can use any smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device to monitor, change settings, or update the charger when new features become available.

Phoenix Smart is available in two different models:

- Phoenix Smart (2+1): two outputs to charge 3 battery banks- The second output, with a limit of about 3A and a slightly lower output voltage, is designed to recharge a starter battery.

Automatic voltage compensation- The charger compensates for voltage drops in DC cables by slightly increasing the output voltage when the DC current rises. See the manual for further details.

Adaptive 5-stage charging algorithm: constant current – absorption – reconditioning – float – storage- The Phoenix Smart charger features our well-known 'adaptive' battery management system, which can be programmed for different battery types. The 'adaptive' function automatically optimizes the charging process based on how the battery is used.

Just the right amount of charge: variable absorption time - In the case of shallow discharges (for example, a yacht connected to shore power) the absorption time is limited to avoid overcharging the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically extended to ensure the battery is fully charged.

Preventing damage caused by excessive gassing: BatterySafe mode- If, to shorten charging time, a high charge current and a higher charge voltage are selected, the charger will prevent gassing damage to the battery by automatically limiting the rate of voltage rise once the gassing voltage is reached.

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: storage mode- Storage mode activates when the battery is not subjected to discharge for 24 consecutive hours. In storage mode, the 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. The voltage is brought back up to absorption level once a week to 'balance' the battery. This process prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation, the main causes of premature battery aging.

Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries- The charger's on/off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or the open-collector optocoupler output of a Li-Ion BMS to the remote on-off port. Alternatively, full control of voltage and current can be achieved via Bluetooth.

Fully programmable charging algorithm- The charging algorithm can be programmed via Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface. Three pre-programmed algorithms can be selected using the mode button (see specifications).

Remote on/off- The remote on/off consists of two terminals: remote H and remote L. You can connect a remote on/off switch or relay contact between H and L. Alternatively, you can raise the H terminal or lower the L terminal.

VE.Direct interface- For a cable connection to the Color Control panel, a PC, or other devices. Please see the VictronConnect app in the Download / Software section of our website.

Programmable relay- It can be programmed, via the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth-enabled device, to trigger an alarm or another event.
