These accessories communicate critical battery voltage and temperature information to your SmartSolar Charge Controllers via Bluetooth, further improving your system's performance.
Advanced Charging Features
Adaptive 3-Stage Battery Charging
Victron's sophisticated 3-stage charging process includes Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages, meticulously designed to ensure efficient battery charging and maximized battery health.
- Bulk Stage: Rapidly charges the batteries with maximum current until the absorption voltage is reached.
- Absorption Stage: Switches to constant voltage mode, gradually reducing current to maintain battery health.
- Float Stage: Maintains batteries at a reduced voltage, ensuring they remain fully charged without overcharging, particularly during nighttime when solar power is not available.
Flexible Charge Algorithm and Equalization Charging
Utilize the VictronConnect App to select from 8 pre-set charge algorithms or create a fully programmable charge algorithm, allowing for complete customization of charge voltages, stage durations, and current for optimal efficiency. Additionally, activate equalization charging for specific lead-acid battery types to balance cell voltages, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Transform your solar power system with the Victron 12/24/48V 20A SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller for unparalleled efficiency, advanced battery management, and user-friendly operation.

Energy Storage
As more solar and wind power comes on line, it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, to ensure stability of the grid. Intermediate energy storage is therefore rapidly becoming an essential tool to keep power fluctuations on the grid within manageable limits. Moreover, as feed-in tariffs are decreasing, the business case for a home energy storage system that increases self-consumption becomes more solid every day. Intermediate energy storage increases self-consumption of harvested solar and/or wind power. The natural next step is 100% self-consumption and independence from the grid.
