Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 3. Features a. Bluetooth setup and monitoring (Using VictronConnect) Equipped with integrated Bluetooth; enabling quick and simple setup, advanced configuration, comprehensive monitoring and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet). b. - Page 7 Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger n. Configurable output current A configurable setting that limits the maximum charge current to a reduced level; beneficial when charging lower capacity batteries with a high current charger. o. Recovery function The Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range will attempt to recharge a severely discharged battery (even down to 0V) with low current and then resume normal charging once the battery voltage has risen sufficiently - many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state.

Page 8: Operation
Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 4. Operation 4.1. Charge algorithm The Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range are intelligent multi-stage battery chargers, specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over extended periods. The multi-stage charge algorithm includes the individual charge stages described below: Bulk The battery is charged at maximum charge current until the voltage increases to the configured absorption voltage. - Page 9 Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger The indicator LEDs display the active charge state; refer to the image below: Page 7 Operation...

Page 10: Temperature Compensation
Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 4.2. Temperature compensation The Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger range will automatically compensate the configured charge voltage based on ambient temperature (except for Li-ion mode or if manually disabled). The optimal charge voltage of a lead acid battery varies inversely with battery temperature; automatic temperature-based charge voltage compensation avoids the need for special charge voltage settings in hot or cold environments. -
Page 11: Ve.smart Networking
Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 4.3. VE.Smart Networking VE.Smart Networking enables Bluetooth connectivity and communication between multiple Victron products. This powerful feature enables chargers to receive accurate battery voltage (Volt-sense), charge current (Current-sense) and battery temperature (Temp-sense) data from a compatible battery monitor (such as a BMV, SmartShunt, Smart Battery Sense or VE.Bus Smart Dongle) and/or multiple chargers to operate in unison with synchronised charging to further enhance the charge cycle. - Page 12 Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger Synchronised charging can be setup with different model chargers, providing they are VE.Smart Networking compatible (this includes VE.Smart Networking compatible Blue Smart chargers, Phoenix Smart chargers and MPPT solar chargers). Charging from MPPT solar chargers is not prioritised over mains supply chargers, so in some installations (dependent on cable resistance and other factors) and charging conditions it is possible for solar power to be underutilised.
