Victron SmartSolar MPPT Leisure Battery Charge Controller

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller utilizes Ultra-Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to extract every drop of available power from your solar panels, even in fluctuating light conditions. This translates to increased solar energy production compared to traditional PWM controllers. But it doesn't stop there. The SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller prioritizes the health of your batteries with its intelligent BatteryLife feature. This innovative technology automatically adjusts settings to ensure a full recharge at least once a week, preventing damage caused by shallow discharges and extending battery lifespan. The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller is a revolutionary device designed to maximize your solar energy harvest and extend the life of your batteries. Packed with advanced technology, this controller ensures you get the most out of your solar setup, all while protecting your valuable battery bank. Making the SmartSolar the perfect choice for anyone who wants to get the most out of their solar setup.

Simply put, the Victron MPPT charge controller converts the incoming power from the solar panel into the optimum voltage to charge the battery bank. Most solar panels typically produce approx. 17.5v at maxi-mum power, however a 12v battery only needs around 14v to charge it. With a normal 'PWM' solar controller this voltage difference is effectively 'lost' - it just disappears in the charging process. However, with a Victron MPPT Charge Controller, the excess voltage is converted into extra current, which results in more power going into the battery. The Victron MPPT is most effective on hazy/winter days and when the battery charge is low, you reap the benefits when power is needed the most.

Key Features:

• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT): Especially effective in the event of a clouded sky when light intensity is subject to change continuously, the ultra-fast Victron MPPT Charge Controller will boost energy harvest by up to 30% compared to any PWM charge controller and 10% compared to a slower MPPT controller. Maximizing solar energy harvest in all light conditions. This technology ensures you extract every bit of available power from your solar panels, especially beneficial in fluctuating sunlight conditions.
• BatteryLife Management: This feature of the SmartSolar, called BatteryLife, protects your batteries by automatically adjusting settings to achieve a full recharge at least once a week, promoting longer battery life. Victron's BatteryLife safeguards your batteries by preventing them from being stuck in a shallow discharge cycle. If poor weather hinders a full daily recharge, BatteryLife intelligently monitors the battery's state of charge and progressively raises the load disconnect voltage until a full recharge (absorption voltage) is achieved. Afterwards, BatteryLife adjusts the disconnect voltage to maintain roughly weekly full recharges, maximizing battery health. The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller also features weatherproof resin-encapsulated electronics and the option for traditional load control with a fixed disconnect voltage. For additional versatility, the load output is short-circuit proof and compatible with capacitive loads like inverters.
• Built-in Bluetooth Communication: Monitor and control your system remotely using the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device.
• Flexible Charge Algorithm: The SmartSolar controller offers a fully programmable charging algorithm for customization or you can choose from eight pre-programmed options for optimal charging based on your battery type to perfectly suit your charging needs.
• Load Output Control: Prevent excessive battery drain by configuring the voltage for non-critical load disconnect.
• Protections: The SmartSolar controller features additional protections which safeguards your system with features like over-temperature protection, low voltage battery protection, and reverse polarity protection for both batteries and panels.
