Charging Algorithm

Charge Stages: Bulk – Absorption – Float (3-stage adaptive algorithm)

Bulk Phase: Constant current delivery until absorption voltage reached

Absorption Time:

Lead-acid: 2 hours default, automatically extended after deep discharge
Lithium: Fixed duration configurable

Float Voltage: Reduced maintenance voltage for long-term connection

Alternative Mode: Fixed output voltage (configurable, bypasses multi-stage algorithm)

Isolation and Protection

Galvanic Isolation: 200 VDC between input, output, and chassis

Protection Rating: IP43 (solid objects > 1mm, water spray up to 60° from vertical)

Thermal Protection: High-temperature current derating prevents overheating

Short-Circuit Protection: Automatic current limiting during fault conditions

Reverse Polarity Protection: Input fuse (non-replaceable) protects against reverse connection

Control and Connectivity

Bluetooth: Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy for wireless configuration

VictronConnect App: iOS and Android mobile application for monitoring and parameter adjustment

Remote On/Off: Two-pole connector accepts switch or relay contact

Alternative Control: H-terminal enables battery plus or chassis-switched operation

GX Device Compatible: Integration with Victron GX devices for VRM portal access

Power Supply Mode: Output voltage user-settable via Bluetooth
