Victron Energy - 12V - 30A Phoenix Smart IP43 12/30 - Battery Charger

Intelligent Adaptive Charging for Marine and Off-Grid Systems

The Victron 12V 30A Phoenix Smart IP43 12/30(1+1) Battery Charger offers professional-level battery maintenance for demanding marine, automotive, and off-grid applications. Designed to handle the rigours of mobile power systems, this intelligent Victron smart charger ensures your batteries receive the precise energy they need to maximise lifespan and performance. With a robust 12V architecture and 30A output, it is an essential component for any reliable standalone power system.

Complete Control with Bluetooth Smart

Built-in Bluetooth connectivity transforms how you interact with your power system. Using the free VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet, you can monitor charge status, adjust settings, and update firmware completely wirelessly. For larger, integrated setups, the VE.Direct port provides seamless wired communication with Victron GX devices, enabling comprehensive system oversight.

Adaptive 5-Stage Battery Management

Standard chargers can easily overcharge batteries during extended periods of shore power or standby use. This unit employs a highly advanced, adaptive 5-stage algorithm: bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage. By automatically adjusting the charging process based on how the battery is being used, it delivers the exact right amount of charge.

If the battery experiences only shallow discharges, the absorption time is reduced to prevent overcharging. Conversely, after deep discharges, the system automatically extends the absorption phase to ensure a complete recharge.

Superior Battery Protection

Prolonged periods of inactivity often lead to early battery failure due to sulphation and corrosion. The innovative Storage Mode activates automatically after 24 hours without discharge. It reduces the float voltage to minimise gassing and positive plate corrosion, while initiating a weekly refresh cycle to prevent electrolyte stratification. Furthermore, the BatterySafe mode prevents damage from excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase during rapid charging.

This dual-output model features a high-current primary connection for your main house battery bank, accompanied by a dedicated 4A trickle charge output that is ideal for maintaining an engine starter battery.

Built for Harsh Australian Environments

Operating in marine vessels or off-grid caravans means exposing equipment to challenging conditions. The IP43 protection rating ensures the internal electronic components are shielded against dust and water spray up to 60 degrees from vertical, provided the unit is mounted correctly. The natural convection cooling system utilises a large aluminium heatsink, eliminating the need for noisy cooling fans while maintaining exceptional efficiency and thermal stability even in warmer climates. Additionally, automatic voltage compensation offsets DC cable voltage drop by slightly increasing output voltage when DC current increases, ensuring optimal delivery to your battery bank.

Versatile Chemistry Support

Whether you are using traditional lead-acid, AGM, Gel, or advanced Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) battery banks, this charger adapts to your specific chemistry. It features a fully programmable charge algorithm and a dedicated lithium mode. Charger remote on/off control can even be managed directly by a Lithium-ion Battery Management System (BMS) via the integrated two-pole terminal.
