Applications

Suited to 12V leisure batteries in caravans, motorhomes and campervans, and to marine auxiliary or house banks where moisture is a factor. It also serves workshop battery maintenance for vehicle fleets, plant and agricultural machinery, and general off-grid or backup charging duty. The seven-stage algorithm includes a reconditioning phase, useful for recovering deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries, and a dedicated LiFePO4 profile is selectable in VictronConnect for lithium setups.

Installation notes

Plug the fitted BS 1363 plug into a standard UK 230V socket and connect the DC output leads to the battery, checking polarity first. For a fixed installation, mount the charger securely and leave space around it for ventilation.
