By measuring at the battery terminals, it eliminates voltage drop errors caused by cable resistance, ensuring your batteries receive the correct charge voltage. This precise control enhances charging efficiency, extends battery lifespan, and protects your investment in lead-acid or lithium battery banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for seamless integration with the Victron ecosystem, this sensor uses \u003cstrong\u003eVE.Smart Networking\u003c\/strong\u003e via Bluetooth Smart, with an extended range of up to 10 metres. It is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled VE.Direct MPPTs and the Smart IP43 charger, making it a versatile addition to caravans, motorhomes, marine vessels, and off-grid solar installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Accurate Voltage Sensing Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any DC power system, voltage drop occurs along the cables between the charger and the battery. Without compensation, the charger may undercharge the battery, leading to sulphation in lead-acid batteries or incomplete charging in lithium batteries. The Smart Battery Sense measures voltage directly at the battery terminals and transmits this data wirelessly to the charger, which adjusts its output accordingly. This ensures the battery receives the exact voltage required for each charging stage, improving charge efficiency and battery health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature-Compensated Charging for Lead-Acid Batteries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead-acid batteries are sensitive to temperature: cold batteries require a higher charge voltage, while hot batteries need a lower voltage to prevent overcharging and gassing. The integrated temperature sensor in the Smart Battery Sense provides real-time battery temperature data, allowing connected chargers to automatically adjust charge parameters. This temperature compensation is critical for maximising the service life of flooded, AGM, and gel batteries, especially in Australian conditions where temperature extremes are common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtect Lithium Batteries from Cold-Weather Damage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLithium batteries, particularly LiFePO4, can suffer permanent damage if charged at temperatures near or below freezing. The Smart Battery Sense monitors battery temperature and, when paired with a compatible Victron charger, can disable charging in cold conditions. This essential safety feature prevents costly cell degradation and ensures your lithium battery bank remains reliable for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless voltage and temperature sensing via VE.Smart Network (Bluetooth Smart) with up to 10 m range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates voltage drop errors by measuring directly at the battery terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables temperature-compensated charging for lead-acid batteries and cold-weather protection for lithium batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all Bluetooth-enabled Victron VE.Direct MPPTs and Smart IP43 chargers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V battery banks (operating voltage 8 V to 60 V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple installation with 8 mm ring terminals and self-adhesive strip for direct battery mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated T1A 250 V fuse for circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions: 40.2 mm x 42 mm x 14.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Integration with VictronConnect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup and monitoring are effortless using the \u003cstrong\u003eVictronConnect app\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Smart Battery Sense appears in the device list, displaying live voltage and temperature readings. You can configure multiple chargers to share the same sensor data, ensuring consistent charging across a multi-charger system.
