The Victron Phoenix charger comes with an daptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk - absorption - float - storage. It also includes two full rated outputs and one 4 Amp output, and Universal input 90-265V, 50/60Hz. The Phoenix 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 optimise the charge process relative to the way the battery is being used.
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. BatterySafe 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.
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 minimize 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.
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.
Fisheries Supply carries the popular Victron Phoenix 12v 50a battery charger (AKA Victron Phoenix 12v 50a battery charger) as well as other voltage/amperage models.
Computer interface
Every Phoenix Charger is ready to communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port. Together with the Victron VEConfigure software, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Victron website www.victronenergy.com and the data link MK2-USB (see accessories below), all parameters of the chargers can be customised.
