VICTRON Phoenix Inverter 24V 180V/A 150W
Product Code: PI24/180
Unlimited Sinewave Power
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 optimise 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 Battery Safe mode
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 ageing when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode
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 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.
To increase battery life: temperature compensation
Every Phoenix charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed 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, Phoenix chargers are provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.
Computer interface
Every Phoenix Charger is ready to communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port. Together with our VEConfigure software, which can be downloaded free of charge from our website www.victronenergy.com and the data link MK1b (see accessories), all parameters of the chargers can be customised. The chargers can also be connected to VENet, the new power control network of Victron Energy, or to other computerised monitoring and control systems.
Accessories: -
VICTRON Phoenix Inverter Control
This panel is intended for the models equipped with a RS-485 data port. It can also be used on a Phoenix Multi when an automatic transfer switch but no charger function is desired. The brightness of the LED's is automatically reduced during night time.
VICTRON Battery Alarm
A high or low battery voltage is indicated by an audible or visual alarm. Brightness of LED is auto, reduced at nigh. Charger On/Off switch. UTP Patch Lead is required.
VICTRON VE Configure Interface
The 'Little Black Box' Computer controlled operation and monitoring. Every Multi & MultiPlus is ready to communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port.
VICTRON BMV 501 Battery Monitor
No more guessing. Reads volts, amps and hours remaining plus % of charge left. Interfaced with a laptop via kit cable option. Data logger and event recorder.
