Victron Smart Battery Sense Temperature/Voltage Sensor for MPPT Solar Charge Controllers;

Smart battery sense is a wireless battery voltage & temperature Sensor for victron MPPT solar chargers. With voltage & temperature sense in place, batteries will be better charged; improving charging-efficiency & prolonging battery life. By measuring voltage at the battery bank Terminals, Errors arising from voltage-loss due to cable resistance are avoided - guaranteeing the correct charge-voltage. For lead batteries, battery temperature data is used to adjust the charge-voltages: cold batteries require an increased charge-voltage, whereas hot batteries require a decreased charge-voltage. For lithium batteries temperature data is used to disable charging when they are too cold: charging lithium batteries near or below freezing causes permanent damage to the cells. The connection between smart battery sense & one or more solar charger) is wireless: it uses ve.Smart network - a wireless technology based on Bluetooth smart. Information transmitted can be used simultaneously by one, two or more solar chargers connected to the same 12V, 24V & 48V battery bank. The smart network is set up using the victronconnect app. Installation is simple, quick & tidy. Just connect the unit's two eyelets to your battery Terminals & attach the smart battery sense unit directly onto the battery-body using its self-adhesive strip.
