Charge Algorithm & Features

• Charge Algorithm: 6-stage adaptive (Test – Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage).
• Fully Programmable: Use the Bluetooth app to program Absorption, Float, and Storage voltages, as well as Recondition settings and temperature compensation. Expert mode allows for adjustment of practically all parameters and time limits.
• Storage Mode: Reduces float voltage to 13.2 V after 24 hours of inactivity to minimize gassing and corrosion; performs a weekly absorption charge to equalize the battery and prevent stratification.
• Li-ion Compatibility: Features a specific bulk – absorption – float algorithm for Lithium-ion batteries.
• Fully Discharged Battery Recovery: Can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts; reconnects to Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect functions.
• NIGHT and LOW Settings: Reduces output current to 50% for noiseless operation. NIGHT mode ends automatically after 8 hours.
• Power Supply Function: Can be used as a dedicated power supply.

Connectivity & Monitoring

• Bluetooth Smart Built-in: Monitor voltage and current, change settings, and update firmware wirelessly via the VictronConnect app.
• VE.Smart Networking: Wireless device-to-device (D2D) communication allowing for synchronized parallel charging (up to 10 chargers) and integration with Smart Battery Sense or BMV monitors for compensated charging.
• Status Indication: Eleven LEDs indicate the current charge state (Bulk, Absorption, etc.) and mode settings.
• History Log: Stores a 40-cycle history log with detailed statistics of past charge cycles and usage data over the charger's lifetime.
