1. Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT
A solar charger is powered by solar modules and stores this energy in batteries. Using the fastest technology, the SmartSolar maximizes this energy generation and directs it intelligently to charge the batteries as quickly as possible. The SmartSolar maintains the functionality of the battery, thereby extending its lifespan. The SmartSolar charge controller can even recharge a deeply discharged battery. It can operate with a battery voltage of just 0 volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulfated or otherwise damaged.
2. Victron Energy BlueSolar
The load output disconnects the loads when the battery has been discharged to a specified voltage level. Alternatively, an algorithm for intelligent battery management can be selected. The load output is short-circuit proof. Some loads, especially inverters, are best connected directly to the battery. The inverter remote control is best connected to the load output. In some cases, a special interface cable may be required.
The BatteryLife algorithm monitors the battery's state of charge. If necessary, it raises the threshold for disconnecting the load day by day until the energy gained is sufficient to charge the battery to nearly 100%. From this point, the threshold for turning off the load is modulated so that charging to nearly 100% is achieved approximately once a week. Options for displaying data in real-time are available for Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, and other devices.
3. Victron Energy Phoenix Charger
Adaptive four-stage charging characteristic: constant current ("bulk") phase, constant voltage ("absorption") phase, float voltage ("float") phase, storage voltage ("storage") phase The microprocessor-controlled 'adaptive' battery management system of the Phoenix charger can be adapted to different battery types. 'Adaptive' means that the charging characteristic is automatically adapted to the type of battery utilisation. The right amount of charge: adapted constant voltage time In the case of low battery discharge (e.g. a yacht connected to shore power), a short constant voltage phase is selected to prevent overcharging. After a deep discharge, the constant voltage phase is automatically extended to ensure that the battery is fully charged. Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the battery protection mode In order to shorten the charging time, the highest possible charging current was selected together with a high constant voltage. However, to prevent excessive gassing towards the end of the constant current phase, the Phoenix charger limits the speed of the voltage increase after the gassing voltage has been reached. Less maintenance and ageing when the battery is at rest: storage mode Storage mode is always activated if no discharge has taken place within 24 hours. In storage mode, the charge retention voltage is then reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) in order to minimise gassing and corrosion on the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is increased to the level of the gassing voltage. This achieves a kind of equalising charge that prevents electrolyte stratification and sulphation - the two main causes of premature battery failure.
4. Victron Energy BlueSolar MPPT 100/50
