Victron Energy | Phoenix Series
Victron Phoenix Charger 12V/50A (2+1)
Adaptive 4-Stage Charging | Multi-Output Battery Management | MPN: PCH012050001
The Victron Phoenix Charger 12V/50A (2+1) is a robust and intelligent multi-output battery charger designed for reliable power management in various demanding applications. This advanced unit from Victron Energy provides a powerful 50 Amp charge current at 12 volts, making it suitable for charging larger battery banks found in marine, mobile, and off-grid systems.
Equipped with an adaptive 4-stage charging algorithm, the Phoenix Charger optimises the charging process for different battery types, ensuring maximum battery life and performance. Its unique (2+1) output configuration allows for simultaneous charging of two main battery banks with full current, plus a dedicated trickle charge output for a starter battery.
KEY CAPABILITY: Provides 50A charging across two main outputs, plus a 4A output for a starter battery, all from a universal AC/DC input.
Key Features
| ▶ Adaptive 4-Stage Charging — Optimises the charge process (Bulk, Absorption, Float, Storage) based on battery usage for extended life. |
| ▶ Multi-Output Design (2+1) — Two full-rated 50A outputs for house batteries and a dedicated 4A output for a starter battery. |
| ▶ Universal Input Voltage — Accepts 90-265V AC and 90-400V DC, allowing operation worldwide and from various power sources. |
| ▶ BatterySafe Mode — Prevents damage from excessive gassing by intelligently limiting the rate of voltage increase. |
| ▶ Storage Mode — Reduces float voltage to minimise gassing and corrosion during periods of inactivity, enhancing battery longevity. |
| ▶ Temperature Compensation — Includes a battery temperature sensor to automatically adjust charging voltage for optimal performance. |
| ▶ Voltage Sense Function — Corrects for voltage drops across battery cables, ensuring the correct charge voltage is delivered to the battery terminals. |

Can this charger be used as a power supply?
Yes, the Victron Phoenix Charger 12V/50A (2+1) can be used as a power supply, providing stable DC voltage when needed.
Does it include a temperature sensor?
Yes, the charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, the charging voltage automatically adjusts based on the battery temperature, which helps to extend battery life.
Installation Notes
- Ensure the charger is installed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
- Connect the battery temperature sensor for optimal charging performance and battery longevity.
- Use appropriate cable gauges for all connections to minimise voltage drop and ensure safety.
- Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct wiring and system integration.
- Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines.
Before You Buy
- Verify that the 12V system voltage and 50A charge current meet your specific battery bank requirements.
- Confirm the type and capacity (Ah) of your batteries to ensure compatibility with the charger's adaptive algorithm.
- Consider the physical dimensions (350x200x108 mm) and weight (3.8 kg) to ensure adequate installation space.
- Check the input voltage requirements (90-265V AC / 90-400V DC) to match your available power source.
- For advanced configuration, an RS-485 to USB interface (MK2-USB) and Victron VEConfigure software are required.
