Victron Phoenix Battery Charger 12V -30A (SKU Part Number PCH012030001)

Victron Phoenix Battery Charger: Efficient and Reliable Power Solution

Adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk - absorption - float - storage. Two full rated outputs and one 4 Amp output. Universal input 90-265V, 50/60Hz. The Charger features a microprocessor controlled adaptive battery management system that can be pre-set to suit different types of batteries. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charge process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Features

• Adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk - absorption - float - storage - The Phoenix Charger features a microprocessor controlled 'adaptive' battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries
• The 'adaptive' feature will automatically optimize the process relative to the way the battery is being used
• The right amount of charge: variable absorption time - 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 is completely recharged
• Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode (see fig. 2 below) - If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Phoenix Charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached
• Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use
• To increase battery life - temperature compensation
• Battery voltage sense
