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, in addition to the strong 50A main charging output, also offers a secondary charging output with 3A charging power for a starter battery.
With its integrated Bluetooth module, the Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 fits into Victron's ever-growing Smart family, which can be perfectly networked and centrally controlled via various methods. In addition to the Bluetooth module, there is also a VE.Direct connection and a freely programmable relay. Optionally, the Smart Battery Sense can also be connected to control the battery temperature compensation. The proven five-stage charging algorithm and the ability 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, which 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 the mobile sector. The Phoenix Smart models with (3) in the model name were developed specifically with the needs of the marine sector in mind and offer three full power outputs for charging 3 battery banks.

three integrated technologies for completely healthy batteries
Variable constant voltage phase: always delivers the right amount of charge
In case of low battery discharge (e.g. a yacht connected to shore power), a short constant voltage phase is chosen 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: The BatterySafe Mode
In order to shorten the charging time, the highest possible charging current was selected together with a high constant voltage. However, to avoid excessive gas development towards the end of the constant current phase, the charger limits the rate of 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: the storage mode
Storage mode is activated whenever there has been no discharge within 24 hours. In storage mode, the trickle charge voltage is then reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 24 V battery) to minimize gas evolution and corrosion on the positive plates. Once pro 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 batteries
The Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 can be fitted with on/off control by connecting a relay or 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
Thanks to the VE.Direct port, the Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50(1+1) IP43 from Victron is ideal for a wired data connection to a color control panel, a PC or other devices. 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. Also Programmable Relay can be programmed via the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth enabled device to trigger an alarm or other events.
