Applications

Fits maintenance charging for caravan, motorhome and campervan leisure batteries, and marine charging on boats and narrowboats where moisture resistance matters. Workshops and fleets use it for routine vehicle battery conditioning. It also handles seasonal storage charging for motorcycles and classic cars laid up over winter, plus backup battery maintenance in off-grid or UPS setups.

Using VictronConnect

The app shows live charge status, lets you pick the right battery profile, and keeps a history of charge cycles. It's free and doesn't need an account. Storage mode tops the battery up periodically during long idle periods, which helps prevent sulphation on vehicles or boats left standing.
