Victron SmartSolar 100v 20 Amp MPPT Leisure Battery Charge Controller

Overview

Featuring Maximum Power Point Tracking MPPT from Victron Energy for fast and efficient energy harvesting and intelligent battery management (Battery Life) to protect your Campervan Motorhome battery against charge damage, the Victron MPPT 75/15 Charge Controller is ideal for users with large, heavy duty or multiple solar panels boosting their Caravan Motorhome or Campervan battery up to 15 amps of output.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially effective in the event of a clouded sky when light intensity is subject to change continuously, the ultra-fast Victron MPPT controller will boost energy harvest by up to 30% compared to any PWM charge controller and 10% compared to a slower MPPT controller.

Battery Life

If a solar charge controller isn’t able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, then the battery can often result in being stuck in a perpetual cycle between states of being ‘partially charged’ and ‘end of discharge’. When a regular full recharge cannot be achieved in this manner, then a lead-acid battery will be destroyed within months or even weeks.

With BatteryLife, an algorithm will monitor the state of battery charge and slowly increase the load disconnect level, day by day, until absorption voltage is reached. From here, the load disconnect level will be modulated so that around once every week absorption voltage is reached.

The Victron BlueSolar MPPT Charge Controller also features resin encapsulated electronics to protect electrical components against the elements, and can be set to follow a traditional load control mode with a fixed disconnect voltage. The load output is also short circuit proof and can supply capacitive loads such as an inverter.

What is an MPPT controller?

Simply put, the Victron MPPT charge controller converts the incoming power from the solar panel into the optimum voltage to charge the battery bank. Most solar panels typically produce approx. 17.5v at maxi-mum power, however a 12v battery only needs around 14v to charge it. With a normal 'pwm' solar controller this voltage difference is effectively 'lost' - it just disappears in the charging process. However, with an MPPT controller, the excess voltage is converted into extra current, which results in more power going into the battery. The Victron MPPT is most effective on hazy/winter days and when the battery charge is low, you reap the benefits when power is needed the most.
