The grounding search provided a wealth of information, confirming most of the details from the original input and adding more specifics. **Key verified details:** * **Product Name:** Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 12/50(1+1) * **Brand:** Victron Energy * **SKU:** PSC125051085 (from input) - Note: some search results show PSC125051095, but I will stick to the provided SKU. * **Voltage:** 12V * **Charge Current:** 50A (main output) * **Outputs:** 1+1 (main output up to 50A, second output limited to approx. 3A-4A for starter battery) * **Input Voltage:** 85-265V AC, 45-65 Hz (wide range) * **IP Rating:** IP43 for electronic components (protected against water spray), IP22 for connection area (from original input, confirmed by general IP43 descriptions) * **Efficiency:** Original input states 92%. Some sources mention "up to 94%". I will use 92% as it's a conservative, verified number from the input. * **Bluetooth:** Yes, "Bluetooth Smart enabled" for monitoring, settings, and updates via VictronConnect app. * **Dimensions:** 180 x 249 x 100mm (from input, consistent with general product size). * **Weight:** 3.5Kg (from input). * **Warranty:** 5 Years (from input, also mentioned as "5-Year Limited Warranty by Victron Energy on power products"). * **Charge Algorithm:** Adaptive 5-stage (Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage). Some sources mention 6-stage including "Refresh" or "Equalization". I will use 5-stage as it's consistently mentioned and aligns with the original description's detail. The "refresh" or "equalization" is often part of the storage mode's weekly cycle. * **BatterySafe Mode:** Prevents damage from excessive gassing. * **Storage Mode:** Reduces float voltage to minimise gassing and corrosion, with weekly equalisation. * **Li-ion (LiFePO₄) Compatibility:** Yes, with dedicated charge profile and BMS control options. * **Programmable Algorithm:** Fully programmable via Bluetooth or VE.Direct. * **Remote On-Off:** Yes, via H and L terminals. * **VE.Direct Interface:** For wired data connection to GX devices (e.g., Cerbo GX), PC, or other devices, enabling remote monitoring via VRM Portal. * **Programmable Relay:** Can be programmed for alarms or other events. * **Automatic Voltage Compensation:** Compensates for voltage drop over DC cabling. * **VE.Smart Networking:** Enables communication between multiple Victron products for accurate battery voltage/temperature sensing and synchronised charging. * **Applications:** Marine, RV, off-grid, eMobility, industrial. **Discrepancies/Clarifications:** * The original input states "5-step charger", while some search results mention "6-stage adaptive". I will stick to 5-stage as it's explicitly detailed in the original description and consistently mentioned in other sources as the core adaptive algorithm (Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage). The "refresh" or "equalization" is often part of the storage mode's weekly cycle, making it a nuance rather than a distinct stage in the primary algorithm description. * The second output current is stated as "approx. 3A" in the original input and some sources, while others say "approx. 4A". I will use "approximately 3-4A" to cover both. * The SKU in the input is 792-PSC125051085. Most search results use PSC125051095. I will use the provided SKU from the input. Now, I will proceed with generating the HTML, adhering strictly to the template and content rules.

Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 12V 50A Battery Charger
Adaptive 5-Stage Charging | 1+1 Output for Dual Battery Banks | Bluetooth Smart
The Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 12V 50A Charger is an advanced, multi-stage battery charger designed for optimal battery health and longevity in demanding environments. Featuring a unique 1+1 output configuration, this model efficiently charges a primary 'house' battery bank with up to 50A, while simultaneously providing an auxiliary output of approximately 3-4A to maintain a starter battery.
Equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology, the Phoenix Smart IP43 allows for convenient monitoring, configuration, and software updates directly from your smartphone or tablet via the VictronConnect app. Its robust IP43 enclosure offers protection against water spray, making it suitable for marine, RV, and off-grid applications where reliability is paramount.
DUAL OUTPUT DESIGN: Provides 50A to your main battery bank and 3-4A to a secondary starter battery.
Key Features
| ▶ 1+1 Output Configuration — Efficiently charges two separate 12V battery banks, prioritising the main bank while maintaining a starter battery. |
| ▶ Bluetooth Smart Enabled — Monitor, configure settings, and update firmware wirelessly via the VictronConnect app on your smart device. |
| ▶ Adaptive 5-Stage Charge Algorithm — Optimises the charging process (Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, Storage) for various battery types, extending battery life. |
| ▶ LiFePO₄ Battery Compatible — Supports Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries with a dedicated charge profile and BMS control options. |
| ▶ IP43 Rated Enclosure — Provides protection against water spray and solid objects, suitable for challenging environments. |
| ▶ VE.Direct Interface — Allows wired connection to Victron GX devices for comprehensive system integration and remote monitoring. |
| ▶ Automatic Voltage Compensation — Corrects for voltage drop across DC cabling, ensuring accurate charge voltage at the battery terminals. |
| ▶ Programmable Relay — Can be configured to trigger alarms or other events, enhancing system control. |

Common Questions
What types of batteries can this charger work with?
This charger is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including flooded lead-acid, AGM, Gel, and Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries. It features an adaptive charging algorithm that can be preset or fully programmed to suit specific battery requirements.
How does the 1+1 output function?
The 1+1 output configuration means the charger provides its full rated current (up to 50A) to the main battery bank, typically your 'house' bank. Simultaneously, a second, lower current output (approximately 3-4A) is dedicated to maintaining a starter battery, ensuring it remains topped up.
Can I monitor and control the charger remotely?
Yes, the charger has built-in Bluetooth Smart connectivity, allowing you to monitor its status, change settings, and update firmware using the free VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet. For wired integration and remote monitoring via the VRM Portal, it also features a VE.Direct port.
What does the IP43 rating mean?
The IP43 rating indicates that the electronic components of the charger are protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water spray from any direction. The connection area has an IP22 rating, meaning it's protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and vertically dripping water.
Installation Notes
- Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger to prevent overheating, especially when operating at full capacity.
- Refer to the official Victron Energy manual for detailed wiring diagrams, mounting instructions, and safety guidelines.
- Verify correct DC cabling size and fuse protection for both main and auxiliary outputs.
Before You Buy
- Confirm your battery system voltage is 12V to ensure compatibility with this charger.
- Check the total capacity of your battery bank(s) to ensure the 50A charge current is appropriate for efficient charging.
- Consider the environment where the charger will be installed and ensure the IP43/IP22 ratings meet your requirements.
- Review the Victron Energy documentation for specific battery type compatibility and charging profiles.
