Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A (220W) DC-DC charger

The Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger is a professional DC to DC adaptive 3-stage charger with built-in Bluetooth. For use in dual battery systems in vehicles or on boats where the (smart) alternator and the start battery are used to charge the service battery. The unit can be monitored and programmed via Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled via a remote on/off switch and has an engine running detection mechanism. The Orion Tr-Smart charger can be used in 12V or 24V systems and is suitable for both lead acid and lithium batteries. Models are available up to 400W and unlimited multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase output power. Suitable for high temperatures up to 55°C with a full rated output up to 40°C.

Bluetooth Smart enabled

Any Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet or other devices can be used to monitor, to change settings and to update the charger when new software features become available.

Fully programmable 

• Battery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output.
• Smart alternator compatibility: engine running detection mechanism.

Adaptive 3-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – float

• For lead-acid batteries, it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.
• For lithium batteries, absorption time is fixed default 2 hours.
• Alternatively, a fixed output voltage can be chosen.

Remote on-off

A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected to a two-pole connector. Alternatively, the H terminal (right) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery plus, or the L terminal (left) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery minus (or the chassis of a vehicle, for example).

All models are short circuit proof and can be paralleled to increase output current

An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel.

High temperature protected

The output current will reduce at high ambient temperature.

IP43 protection

When installed with the screw terminals oriented downwards.

Screw terminals

No special tools needed for installation.. Input fuse (not replaceable)

Isolated DC to DC Chargers Vs Non-Isolated DC to DC Chargers:

An isolated DC to DC charger has one negative connection for each battery and there is no internal connection between the negatives. They are required for systems that need to be isolated which could be for a number of reasons including;

• Limiting corrosion (Typically marine applications).
• Preventing noise on one battery system from effecting the other battery system.

For systems that do not require isolation – either unit can be used, but the non-isolated requires one less wire to be installed.
In automotive systems, the negative of both batteries is typically connected to the chassis of the vehicle. This is a non-isolated system, therefore either unit will be suitable.

DC to DC Charger without solar regulator:

The advantage of separating the DC-DC charger from solar regulator

• The DC to DC charger can remain cheaper
• Solar can be charging into the battery system simultaneously with the on-board vehicle charging
• You can purchase the correct solar regulator to match your solar panels, which will provide the best efficiency for solar charging

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 – 12/24/48V Charge Controller

Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage and temperature sensor for Victron MPPT Solar Chargers.With voltage and temperature sense in place, batteries will be better charged; improving charging-efficiency and prolonging battery life.

Improves battery charging

By measuring voltage at the battery bank terminals, errors arising from voltage-loss due to cable resistance are avoided – guaranteeing the correct charge-voltage. For lead batteries, battery temperature data is used to adjust the charge-voltages: cold batteries require an increased charge-voltage, whereas hot batteries require a decreased charge-voltage. For lithium batteries temperature data is used to disable charging when they are too cold: charging lithium batteries near or below freezing causes permanent damage to the cells.

No wires

The connection between Smart Battery Sense and one or more Solar Charger(s) is wireless: It uses VE.Smart Network – a wireless technology based on Bluetooth Smart. Information transmitted can be used simultaneously by one, two or more Solar Chargers connected to the same 12V, 24V and 48V battery bank. The Smart Network is set up using the VictronConnect app.

Tidy, simple & smart

Installation is simple, quick and tidy. Just connect the unit’s two eyelets to your battery terminals and attach the Smart Battery Sense unit directly onto the battery-body using its self-adhesive strip.

Features: 

• Up to 10 metres in length. 
• Improves battery charging. 
• Bluetooth connection. 
• Quick installation.

Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712 Smart

With Bluetooth built-in, the BMV Smart is ready for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. With Bluetooth being implemented in most other Victron Energy products, wireless communication between products will simplify system installation and enhance performance.

Download the Victron Bluetooth app:

Use a smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device to

• customize settings,
• monitor all important data on single screen,
• view historical data, and to
• update the software when new features become available.

Easy to install:

All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); no other components needed.
Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.

Midpoint voltage monitoring:

One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information.
Victron recommend their Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries.

Very low current draw from the battery:

• Current consumption: 0,7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0,6Ah per month (0,8mA) @ 24V Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown.
• After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left in discharged state during more than 8 days.

Bi-stable alarm relay:

Prevents increased current draw in case of an alarm.

Other features:

• Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge
• Remaining time at the current rate of discharge
• Programmable visual and audible alarm
• Programmable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed
• 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit
• Shunt selection capability up to 10.000 Amps
• VE.Direct communication port
• Stores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery health
• Wide input voltage range: 6,5 – 70V
• High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0,01A)
• Additional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings
