1.5.4. Equalization
See section 3.9
1.6 Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for temperature (range 6°C to 40°C)
1.7 Optional external voltage and temperature sensor (range -20°C to 50°C)
The Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage-and-temperature sensor for
Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. The Solar Charger uses these measurements to optimize
its charge parameters. The accuracy of the data it transmits will improve battery charging
efficiency, and prolong battery life (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed).
Alternatively, Bluetooth communication can be set up between a BMV-712 battery
monitor with battery temperature sensor and the solar charge controller
(VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed). For more detail please enter smart
networking in the search box on our website.
1.8 Automatic battery voltage recognition
The controller will automatically adjust itself to a 12V or a 24V system one time only.
If a different system voltage is required at a later stage, it must be changed manually, for
example with the Bluetooth app, see section 3.8.
1.9 Configuring and monitoring
Configure the solar charge controller with the VictronConnect app. Available for iOS &
Android devices; as well as macOS and Windows computers. An accessory might be
required; enter victronconnect in the search box on our website and see the
VictronConnect download page for details.
For simple monitoring, use the MPPT Control; a panel mounted simple yet effective
display that shows all operational parameters. Full system monitoring including logging to
our online portal, VRM, is done using the GX Product range
