Electrical - Battery Chargers

SmartSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller - 250V - 70AMP - UL Approved

A solar charger gathers energy from the solar panels and stores it in the batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes this energy harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulfated or otherwise damaged.

Feature Highlights Common to All Models:

• Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).
• Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions.
• Outstanding conversion efficiency.
• Natural convection cooling. 
• Automatic battery voltage recognition.
• Flexible charge algorithm.
• Over temperature protection and power derating when the temperature is high.  

Sizing Options:

• Suitable for a variety of battery voltages. Most models connect to 12, 24, and 48V batteries, some only connect to 12 and 24V batteries, or only to 48V batteries.
• Charge currents rating from 10A up to 100A.
• Maximum PV array Voc voltages ranging from 75V up to 250V.
• Multiple chargers can be used in parallel, for large systems we recommend using the models with a VE.Can communication port.  

PV Terminal Options:

• TR - one positive and one negative screw terminal.
• MC4 - 3 pairs of paralleled MC4 connectors.  

Bluetooth Options:

• SmartSolar models have Bluetooth.
• BlueSolar models do not have Bluetooth. They can be retrofitted to have Bluetooth by connecting the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. Advantage: the product is not Bluetooth accessible when the dongle is not connected. Note that on the SmartSolar models, Bluetooth can be disabled.  

Display Options:

• VictronConnect Application. Connects via Bluetooth or via the VE.Direct - USB interface
• MPPT Control. Connects to all models via a VE.Direct cable
• SmartSolar Control Display. Plugs directly into the housing of the larger models
• GX device
• VRM website (GX monitoring device needed)

Communication Ports:

• VE.Direct - all models
• VE.Direct and VE.Can - limited models. VE.Can is especially suitable for systems with multiple solar chargers. All units are simply “daisy chained” to each other with a single RJ45 cable between each unit and also between the last unit in the chain and the GX monitoring device.  

Temperature Sensor Options:

• Internally (all models).
• Externally via the Smart Battery Sense (only SmartSolar models).  

Load Output Options:

• Physical output - On the 10, 15 and 20A models.
• Virtual output - via VE.Direct TX digital output cable and the BatteryProtect or a solid-state relay.  

Remotely Enabling and Disabling the Charger:

• All larger units feature the Victron standard remote on/off terminals. All models that don’t feature an onboard Remote on/off terminal can be remotely controlled by using the VE.Direct non-inverting remote on/off cable – ASS030550310. Note that this prohibits using the VE.Direct port for anything else.  

Firmware Update Options:

• Local updates via the VictronConnect Application (via Bluetooth or USB-VE.Direct interface)
• Remote updates via the VRM website and a GX device  

Optional Accessories:

• VictronConnect Application (free download)
• Wire boxes, to cover and protect the terminals. See table on page 2 for wire box types
• Control and display panels: MPPT control or SmartSolar control)
• GX monitoring device (CCGX, Venus GX, Octo GX, or Cerbo GX)
• Data cables: VE.Direct cable, RJ45 Cable (VE.Can models only), USB-VE.Direct interface
• External control cables: TX cable, non-inverting cable
• Bluetooth dongle (for non-smart models)

Skylla-i Charger - 24 VDC - 100AMP - 2-Bank - 230 VAC

Features:

• Skylla-i (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks. The Skylla-i (1+1) features 2 isolated outputs. The second output, limited to approximately 4 A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery. 
• Rugged Aluminium epoxy powder-coated cases with drip shield and stainless steel fixings withstand the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity, and salt air. Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors ensure that power components will always operate within specified limits, if needed by automatic reduction of output current under extreme environmental conditions.
• Flexible Next to a CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, a rotary switch, DIP switches, and potentiometers are available to adapt the charge algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use. Please refer to the manual for a complete overview of the possibilities. 
• Synchronized parallel operation. Several chargers can be synchronised with the CAN bus interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with RJ45 UTP cables. Please see the manual for details.
• The right amount of charge for a lead-acid battery: variable absorption time. When only shallow discharges occur, the absorption time is kept short to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged. 
• Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode. If, to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Skylla-i will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.
• To increase battery life: temperature compensation. Every Skylla-i comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, the charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed lead-acid batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected. 
• Battery voltage sense. In order to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, the Skylla-i is provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage. 
• Suitable for AC and DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation). The chargers also accept a DC supply. 
• Use as a power supply. As a result of the perfectly stabilized output voltage, the Skylla-i can be used as a power supply if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available. 
• Li-Ion (LiFePO4) ready Simple charger on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the remote control port of the charger. Alternatively, complete control of voltage and current can be achieved by connecting to the galvanically isolated CAN bus port.
