Victron Energy Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (1+1) 120-240V – PSC242551095

The Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (1+1) is designed with boat owners in mind, offering a highly adaptable, efficient, and intelligent charging solution for multiple battery banks. This charger incorporates an advanced 5-step charging algorithm and integrates Bluetooth technology to allow for convenient remote monitoring and control from your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. It is ideal for managing power and maintaining battery health over long periods of non-use, all while ensuring optimal performance. Here’s a more detailed look at its features:

Key Features:

• Adaptive 5-Stage Charging Algorithm:
  • The charger uses an adaptive 5-stage algorithm (bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage) to ensure your batteries are charged efficiently and safely.
  • The charging process is tailored to different types of batteries and is adjusted based on usage patterns, optimizing charging and maintaining battery health.
  • The charger automatically adapts the absorption time to prevent overcharging when only shallow discharges occur (e.g., when a yacht is connected to shore power). However, when deep discharges occur, the absorption time increases to ensure a full charge.
• BatterySafe and Storage Modes:
  • BatterySafe Mode: This mode prevents damage to the battery by regulating the charging process to avoid excessive gassing. If the charging current or absorption voltage is too high, it automatically limits the voltage to prevent damage from excessive gassing.
  • Storage Mode: When the battery has not been in use for 24 hours (i.e., not discharged), the Storage Mode is activated. This reduces the float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion of the battery’s positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery and prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation, both of which can lead to premature battery failure.
• Bluetooth Connectivity & Remote Monitoring:
  • The charger is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing you to monitor its status, change settings, and update the charger via the VictronConnect app. You can control the charger remotely from any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or device.
  • This allows for real-time monitoring of the charging process and the ability to receive alerts or alarms directly to your phone, ensuring you are always informed about your battery’s status.
  • The charger also offers remote monitoring and control through the VictronConnect app or via the VE.Direct interface, allowing for more detailed insights when connected to additional devices like a Color Control panel or PC.
• Li-ion (LiFePO₄) Battery Support:
  • The Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger is fully compatible with lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO₄). It allows for on/off control of the charger using a relay or optocoupler output from a Li-ion BMS (Battery Management System).
  • You can also control voltage and current levels directly via Bluetooth, providing flexibility and ease of operation.
• Programmable Charge Algorithm:
  • The charger comes with three pre-programmed charge algorithms that can be selected via the mode button. You can also customize the charge algorithm using the Bluetooth or VE.Direct interface.
  • The flexible nature of the charger allows it to meet specific charging needs, whether it’s for regular lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries, or other battery types, ensuring optimal performance and battery longevity.
• VE.Direct Interface & Programmable Relay:
  • The VE.Direct interface offers a wired data connection, allowing you to connect the charger to other devices, such as a Colour Control panel or PC, for more detailed system management.
  • The programmable relay allows you to set alarms or trigger actions based on specific conditions, providing further customization and control over the charging process.

In summary, the Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 (1+1) offers a versatile, highly adaptable solution for boat owners looking to ensure their battery banks are charged safely and efficiently. Its intelligent charging algorithms, advanced safety features, and Bluetooth functionality provide ease of use, optimal battery care, and complete remote control. Whether you’re using traditional lead-acid batteries or modern lithium-ion batteries, this charger ensures your system operates smoothly and effectively.
