Adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk – absorption – float – storage
The Phoenix Charger features a microprocessor-controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimize the process relative to how the battery is used.

The right amount of charge: variable absorption time
When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power, for example), the absorption time is kept short to prevent battery overcharging. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to ensure the battery is completely recharged.

Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode (see fig. 2 below)
If to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Victron energy phoenix charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached (see the charge curve between 14,4 V and 15,0 V in fig. 2 below).

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode (see fig. 1 & 2 below)
The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge for 24 hours. In the storage mode, float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for 12 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents electrolyte and sulphation stratification, a significant cause of early battery failure.

To increase battery life: temperature compensation.
Every Victron Energy Phoenix Charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, the charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed batteries and when critical fluctuations in battery temperature are expected.

Battery voltage sense
Phoenix Chargers are provided with a voltage sense facility to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage. Universal 90-265 V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation). The chargers will accept a 90-400 V DC supply.

Computer interface
Every Victron Energy Phoenix Charger can communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port. Together with our VEConfigure software, which can be downloaded from our website,  www.victronenergy.com Command the data link MK2-USB (see accessories), all parameters of the chargers can be customized.
