Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger

Ready for Bluetooth Smart

Changing the settings and updating the charger with new software features can be done using any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or other device

• Phoenix Smart (1+1): two outputs for charging two battery banks

  The second output is intended for charging the starter battery. Consequently, it is limited to 3 A and has a slightly lower output voltage to maintain the charge of the starter battery, which is usually full.

• Phoenix Smart (3): three full power outputs for charging three battery banks

  Each output can deliver the full rated output current. However, all 3 output currents together must not exceed the rated current of the charger.

Automatic voltage compensation

The charger compensates for a voltage drop on the DC cables by increasing the output voltage slightly as the DC current increases. See the manual for more details.

Adaptive five-stage charging algorithm

• Constant current ("bulk") phase,
• Constant voltage ("absorption") phase,
• Recondition phase,
• Charge float voltage (“float”) phase,
• Storage phase

The Phoenix Smart Charger features our well-known "adaptive" battery management system, which can be adapted to different battery types. "Adaptive" means that the charging curve is automatically adjusted to the type of battery use.

The right amount of charge: variable constant voltage phase

When the battery discharge is small (e.g. a yacht connected to shore power), a short constant voltage phase is selected to avoid overcharging. After a deep discharge, the constant voltage phase is automatically extended to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

Also charges lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries

An on/off control can be added by connecting a relay or an open collector optocoupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the remote on/off port. Alternatively, voltage and current can be fully controlled via Bluetooth.

Fully programmable charging algorithm

The charging algorithm can be programmed via Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface. The MODE button can be used to choose between three pre-programmed algorithms (see technical specifications).

VE.Direct interface

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

Programmable relay

Can be programmed via the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth-enabled device to trigger an alarm or other events.
