The Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 from Victron Energy (MPN PSC125051085) is a powerful battery charger of the latest generation. The device is designed for 12V battery voltage and offers not only the powerful 50A main charging output but also a secondary charging output with 3A charging power for a starter battery.
The Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 with its integrated Bluetooth module fits into Victron's ever-growing Smart family, which can be perfectly networked and centrally controlled in various ways. In addition to the Bluetooth module, there is also a VE.Direct connection and a freely programmable relay. The Smart Battery Sense can also be optionally connected to control the battery temperature compensation. The proven five-stage charging algorithm and the option to program your own charging algorithm make the Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 a universally applicable high-tech battery charger that can optimally charge almost any battery type.
Perfect battery charger for boats and vehicles
Phoenix Smart battery chargers that contain (1+1) in the model name have a main charging output with full charging current and a 3A secondary charging output for charging starter batteries. These models are therefore particularly suitable for mobile use. The Phoenix Smart models with (3) in the model name were developed especially with the needs of the marine sector in mind and offer three full current outputs for charging 3 battery banks.

three integrated technologies for all-round healthy batteries
Variable constant voltage phase: always delivers the right amount of charge
When the battery discharge is small (e.g. a yacht connected to shore power), a short constant voltage phase is selected to avoid overcharging. After a deep discharge, the constant voltage phase is automatically extended to ensure that the battery is fully charged.
Preventing damage from excessive gassing: BatterySafe mode
To shorten the charging time, the highest possible charging current was selected together with a high constant voltage. However, to avoid excessive gassing towards the end of the constant current phase, the charger limits the speed of the voltage increase after the gassing voltage has been reached (see also the graphics in the brochure).
Less maintenance and aging when the battery is idle: storage mode
Storage mode is activated whenever no discharge has occurred within 24 hours. In storage mode, the float charge voltage is then reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 24 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is increased to the level of the gassing voltage. This creates a type of equalization charge that prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation - the two main causes of premature battery failure.
Also perfect for LiFePO4 battery
The Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 can be fitted with an on/off control by connecting a relay or an open collector optocoupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the remote on/off port. Alternatively, voltage and current can also be fully controlled via Bluetooth.
VE.Direct interface, Bluetooth and programmable relay
The Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 from Victron is ideal for a wired data connection to a Color Control panel, PC or other devices thanks to the VE.Direct port. Also note the VictronConnect app for Android and IOS, which you can use with any smartphone or tablet to wirelessly control and read your Phoenix Charger via Bluetooth. Programmable relays can also be programmed via the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth-enabled device to trigger an alarm or other events.
