Charge Algorithm & Features

• Charge Algorithm: 6-stage adaptive (Test – Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage).
• Fully Programmable: Settings for Absorption, Float, and Storage voltages, as well as Recondition and temperature compensation, can be configured via the Bluetooth app. Expert mode allows for the adjustment of virtually all parameters.
• Storage Mode: Minimizes maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use by reducing float voltage to 13.2 V to prevent gassing and corrosion; performs a weekly absorption charge to refresh the battery.
• Li-ion Compatibility: Specifically designed to charge Lithium-ion batteries using a bulk-absorption-float algorithm.
• Fully Discharged Battery Recovery: Can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts; capable of reconnecting to Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect functions.
• NIGHT and LOW Settings: Reduces output current to 50% for silent 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: Wireless monitoring of voltage and current, setting adjustments, and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app.
• VE.Smart Networking: Wireless device-to-device 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 for clear status tracking of the charge algorithm and mode settings.
• History Log: Stores usage data over the charger's lifetime and detailed statistics for the last 40 charge cycles.
