Victron Phoenix Smart Charger 24/25 (3)

Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger

Features:

• 240V Smart Charger
• Built-in Bluetooth
• 3 Outputs 
• IP43 Rated
• Adaptive 5-Stage Charging

• 24V 25A

With boat owners in mind, this adaptive 5-step charger can provide either 30A or 50A of charge to each of the three battery banks. Alternatively, the Phoenix 1+1 model provides 3A to the starter battery and the rest to the ‘house’ bank. 24V models are available with 16A/25A charge. Bluetooth enabled, you can monitor the charger and set alarms straight from your phone. Adaptive, intelligent, dynamic charge features – see the datasheet below.

Bluetooth Smart Enabled:

Any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or other device can be used to monitor, change settings and update the charger when new software features become available.

Phoenix Smart (3) - Three Full Current Outputs to Charge 3 Battery Banks:

Each output can supply the full rated output current. But the total of the 3 outputs combined can never exceed the current rating of the charger.

Automatic Voltage Compensation:

The charger compensates for voltage drop over the DC cabling by slightly increasing output voltage when the DC current increases. Please see the manual for details.

Adaptive 5-stage Charge Algorithm: 

Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage

The Phoenix Smart Charger features our well-known ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Variable Absorption Time - The Right Amount of Charge:

When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery will be fully charged.

BatterySafe Mode - Preventing Damage Due to Excessive Gassing:

If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached (see the charge curve between 14.4 V and 15.0V in fig. 2 on the datasheet).

Storage Mode - Less Maintenance and Aging When the Battery is Not in Use: 

The Storage Mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the Storage Mode float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Suitable for Li-ion (LiFePO₄) Batteries:

Charger on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-ion BMS to the remote on-off port. Alternatively, full control of voltage and current can be achieved with Bluetooth.

Fully Programmable Charge Algorithm:

The charge algorithm can be programmed with the help of Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface. Three preprogrammed algorithms can be selected with the mode button (see specifications).

Remote On/Off:

The remote on/off consists of two terminals: Remote H and Remote L. A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected between H and L. Alternatively, terminal H can be pulled high, or terminal L can be pulled low. See the manual for more details.

VE.Direct Interface:

For a wired data connection to a Color Control panel, PC or other devices. Please see the VictronConnect app under Downloads / Software on our website.

Programmable Relay:

Can be programmed using the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth-enabled device to trip on an alarm or other events.
