Victron Energy Smart IP43 Battery Charger with Bluetooth

The Victron Energy Smart IP43 12V 50A 3-Output Battery Charger provides intelligent AC-to-DC battery charging for marine, RV, off grid, and backup power applications. Designed to charge multiple battery banks from a single AC power source, this charger combines adaptive charging technology, built-in Bluetooth connectivity, and programmable battery charging profiles.

With independent charging outputs, the Smart IP43 can charge separate battery banks while managing the total available charging current. Its adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts the charging process based on battery usage, helping maintain battery health and improve charging efficiency.

Integrated Bluetooth and VE.Direct connectivity allow users to monitor charging performance, configure battery settings, and connect the charger to compatible Victron energy monitoring systems.

• Programmable Relay: Provides configurable switching for alarms and other operating events.
• Fanless Cooling: Natural convection cooling provides quiet operation without a mechanical fan.

Charge Multiple Battery Banks with One Charger

The Victron Smart IP43 Charger is designed for installations requiring reliable charging of separate battery banks from a common AC power source.

Each independent charging output can deliver the charger's full rated current when sufficient capacity is available. The combined current across all outputs remains limited to the charger's total charging capacity.

This configuration is particularly useful for marine electrical systems, recreational vehicles, and other installations with separate house or auxiliary battery banks.

Adaptive Battery Charging Technology

Victron's adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts charging behavior based on battery discharge conditions.

Following shallow discharges, absorption time is reduced to help prevent unnecessary overcharging. After deeper discharges, the charger increases absorption time to help restore battery capacity.

The adaptive charging process includes bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, and refresh stages for supported lead-acid battery profiles.

Bluetooth Monitoring with VictronConnect

Integrated Bluetooth connectivity allows users to configure and monitor the Smart IP43 Charger directly through the VictronConnect app.

Users can select charging profiles, adjust charging parameters, monitor charger operation, and update compatible device firmware without requiring a separate monitoring display.

The charger also supports VE.Smart Networking with compatible Victron battery monitoring devices, allowing shared battery voltage and temperature information for improved charging control.

Compatible with Lead-Acid and Lithium Batteries

The Smart IP43 Charger supports a variety of rechargeable battery technologies, including compatible flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Charging profiles can be selected or customized to match the battery manufacturer's recommended charging requirements.

For compatible lithium battery installations, the remote on/off connection can be integrated with a battery management system to control charging operation.

BatterySafe and Storage Mode

Victron BatterySafe technology helps protect lead-acid batteries by limiting the rate of voltage increase when charging conditions could cause excessive gassing.

Automatic Storage Mode reduces charging voltage when a battery remains inactive, helping minimize corrosion, gassing, and unnecessary battery aging.

These features make the charger suitable for batteries that remain connected to shore power or another AC supply for extended periods.

VE.Direct and Victron System Integration

The integrated VE.Direct interface allows the Smart IP43 Charger to communicate with compatible Victron GX devices, including the Cerbo GX.

When connected through a supported GX system with internet access, charger information can be monitored remotely through the Victron Remote Management platform.

Multiple compatible Smart IP43 chargers can also be paired through VE.Smart Networking to synchronize charging behavior.
