Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.
Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for temperature.
Adaptive three step charging
The SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller is configured for a three-step charging process:
Bulk – Absorption – Float.
Bulk stage
During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current as possible to rapidly
recharge the batteries.
Absorption stage
When the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting, the controller switches to
constant voltage mode.
When only shallow discharges occur 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. Additionally, the absorption
period is also ended when the charge current decreases to less than 2 A.
Float stage
During this stage, float voltage is applied to the battery to maintain it in a fully charged state.
Configuration Assitants

Several software programs (Assistants) are available to configure the system for various grid
interactive or stand alone applications. Please see http://www.victronenergy.nl/support-and-
