Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25(3) 230V

Bluetooth setup and monitoring (Using VictronConnect)

Equipped with integrated Bluetooth; enabling quick and simple setup, advanced configuration, comprehensive monitoring and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet).

VE.Smart Network compatible

VE.Smart Networking capability allows multiple chargers to operate in unison with synchronised charging, and receive accurate battery voltage (Voltsense), charge current (Current-sense) and battery temperature (Temp-sense) data from a compatible battery monitor (such as a BMV, SmartShunt, Smart Battery Sense or VE.Bus Smart Dongle) to further enhance the charge cycle.

VE.Direct interface

Fully integrate with a GX device (such as a Cerbo GX) via VE.Direct interface, enabling system monitoring and control from a single device and connectivity to the VRM (Victron Remote Monitoring) portal for data logging and remote access to real time monitoring, as well as control of the charger.

Integrated charge presets

Integrated charge presets (selected via the MODE button or VictronConnect app) combined with adaptive charge logic are well suited for most common battery types; such as LiFePO4, AGM, Gel and flooded lead-acid. Advanced configuration with specific user defined settings is also possible using VictronConnect.

Multi-stage charge algorithm

The multi-stage charge algorithm is specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over extended periods.

Adaptive absorption

Adaptive absorption monitors the battery’s response during initial charging and intelligently determines the appropriate absorption duration for each individual charge cycle. This ensures that the battery is fully recharged regardless of the discharge level or capacity and avoids excessive time at the elevated absorption voltage (that can accelerate battery aging).

Temperature compensation

Charge voltage is automatically compensated depending on the ambient temperature; this ensures that the battery is charged at the optimal charge voltage regardless of the climate and avoids the need for manual settings adjustments. Temperature compensation is not required and automatically disabled when in LI-ION charge mode.

High efficiency

The Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range is up to ~96% efficient; resulting in lower power usage, less heat generated and cooler operation

Durable and safe

Silent operation

Totally silent operation since there is no cooling fan or moving parts, cooling is via natural convection; full rated output current is still provided up to an ambient temperature of 40°C.

Lithium Ion compatible

Compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries; when the integrated LI-ION charge mode is selected the charge cycle settings are altered to suit.

If the charger is connected to a battery where under voltage protection (UVP) has tripped, the Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range will automatically reset UVP and start charging; many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state.

Warning: Do not charge Li-ion batteries if the battery temperature is below 0°C.

Storage stage

An additional stage to extend battery life whilst the battery is unused and on continuous charge.

Recondition stage

An optional stage that can partially recover/reverse lead acid battery degradation due to sulfation; typically caused by inadequate charging or if the battery is left in a deeply discharged state.

Configurable output current

A configurable setting that limits the maximum charge current to a reduced level; beneficial when charging lower capacity batteries with a high current charger.

Recovery function

The Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range will attempt to recharge a severely discharged battery (even down to 0V) with low current and then resume normal charging once the battery voltage has risen sufficiently - many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state.

Power supply mode

A specific mode to use the charger as a DC power supply; to power equipment at a constant voltage with or without a battery connected.

The 1+1 and 3 output version chargers both have an integrated FET battery isolator and therefore feature seperate isolated outputs.

With 1+1 output models, the main output can supply the full rated current and the starter/auxiliary output is limited to a maximum of 4A; however the combined current of all outputs is limited to the full rated current.

With the 3 output models, all 3 outputs can supply the full rated output current; however the combined current of all outputs is limited to the full rated output current.

Multiple isolated outputs make it possible for a single charger to charge multiple batteries, while keeping the batteries isolated from each other.
