Smart IP43 hleðslutæki 12/30 (1+1)

The (1+1) function means the charger has two separate outputs to charge two battery banks. The main output can deliver a full 30 A charge current for the service battery. The second output is limited to about 4 A and is intended to recharge a secondary starter battery.

The Smart IP43 12/30 charger can supply a maximum charging current of 30 A to the main service battery.

This charger is a 12 V model, meaning it is designed to charge 12 V batteries. The specific charging voltages vary depending on the selected mode:

Normal Mode: Absorption at 14.4 V, Float at 13.8 V, Storage at 13.2 V.High Mode: Absorption at 14.7 V, Float at 13.8 V, Storage at 13.2 V.Lithium Mode: Absorption at 14.2 V, Storage at 13.5 V (Float not applicable).

Yes, the Smart IP43 12/30 charger is designed with a natural convection cooling system. This allows it to operate without a fan, ensuring silent operation.

The Smart IP43 12/30 charger accepts a wide AC input voltage range from 85 to 250 VAC. It can deliver full power from 100 VAC and starts at 90 VAC. It also supports a DC input from 90 to 375 VDC.

Yes, this charger can be used as a power supply. The output voltage can be adjusted via Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface to suit specific application requirements.

The Smart IP43 12/30 charger delivers a maximum efficiency of 95 %. This means it converts energy very efficiently, minimizing losses as heat.

For lead-acid batteries, the charger uses a 6-step adaptive charging algorithm:

Bulk: Fast charge at constant current.Absorption: Constant voltage charge to ensure full charge.Recondition: Optional mode to restore deeply discharged batteries.Float: Voltage maintenance to compensate for self-discharge.Storage: Reduced voltage to minimize maintenance and aging.Refresh: Periodic voltage increase to equalize the battery in Storage mode.

The charger integrates the BatterySafe function. If a high charging current is combined with a high absorption voltage for fast charging, the charger automatically limits the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage is reached, preventing damage from excessive gassing.

The "Storage" mode activates when the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. In this mode, the Float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once per week, the voltage is raised to the absorption level to "equalize" the battery, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation.

The charger has the following dimensions: 180 mm (height) x 249 mm (width) x 116 mm (depth). Its weight is 2.7 kg.

The Smart IP43 12/30 charger provides IP43 protection for its electronic components, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes. The connection area has IP22 protection, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and water drops with a maximum tilt of 15 degrees.

The charger is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM, Gel) and Li-ion batteries (LiFePO₄). It features adaptive charging algorithms tailored for each battery type, with a 6-stage algorithm for lead-acid batteries and a 3-stage algorithm for Li-ion batteries.

Yes, the charger is compatible with Victron Energy battery monitoring systems via the VE.Smart network. A Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt, or BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more Smart IP43 chargers over this network, improving charging accuracy.

Yes, it is possible to pair two or more Smart IP43 chargers within a VE.Smart network. This feature enables synchronized charging, which improves charging efficiency and extends battery life.

Yes, the charger has a remote on/off port (Remote H and Remote L terminals). A switch or relay contact can be connected to these terminals for remote control. Additionally, the built-in Bluetooth Smart technology and the VictronConnect app allow wireless configuration, monitoring, and updates of the charger.

The charger must be permanently mounted using the mounting brackets integrated into the heat sink. It must be installed vertically with the terminals facing downward, on a non-flammable substrate, with at least 10 cm of clearance around it for proper airflow. It must not be installed directly above the battery or in a sealed compartment with the battery.

For DC wiring, it is recommended to use a flexible multistrand copper DC power cable with sufficient cross-section. An inline fuse or appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed as close as possible to the battery. It is critical to ensure correct DC cable polarity at all connections and to fully shut down/isolate the DC system before any connection or disconnection.

The charger features an IEC 320 C14 input with a retention clip for the AC connection. The AC cable must be ordered separately. The AC connection to the mains must comply with local electrical regulations, and the charger must be plugged into a grounded AC outlet.

To configure the charger via Bluetooth, use a Bluetooth-compatible device (mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app. Open the app, locate the Smart IP43 charger in the device list, and connect. The default PIN is on a label on the side of the charger (or try 000000). Once connected, you can access settings to select charging modes, adjust battery parameters, and update the firmware.
