BLUETOOTH BATTERY MONITOR Victron Smart Battery Sense Long Range (up to 10m) SBS050150200

Free Shipping Australia Wide

WORKS WITH ANY DEEP CYCLE BATTERY TYPE ( LIFEPO4 - AGM - GEL )

After being connected to the battery, connect the monitor to a mobile device (phone or tablet) via the Victron Mobile App. This Smart Battery Sense Monitor is a wireless battery voltage and temperature sensor. With voltage and temperature sense in place, batteries will be better charged; improving charging-efficiency and prolonging battery life. 

> SIMPLE TO INSTALL & USE 

Simply Connect the two eyelets to your battery terminals and attach the unit directly onto the battery-body using its self-adhesive strip. For banks of batteries Smart Battery Sense may be connected to any one of the individual batteries.

Use the VictronConnect App to configure, monitor, update and diagnose your Victron product. Available for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS X. It can connect to Victron products via Bluetooth, USB and WiFi/LAN/Internet. Learn More about the Victron App

VICTRON SMART BATTERY SENSE FEATURES:

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.

REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL

Built-in Bluetooth along with the VictronConnect App provides easy access to the extensive range of functions available on your solar charge controller such as:

Victron Energy Smart Battery Sense Long Range (Up To 10M) is a Bluetooth Smart enabled VE.Bus interface with battery temperature-and-voltage sensing. It communicates system information straight to your smart phone using the free-to-use VictronConnect App.

When used with Multi- inverter/chargers the dongle provides on-battery temperature and voltage sensing capabilities, allowing compensation for possible cable losses which can occur during charging and discharging. Temperature sensing allows accurate temperature-compensation during battery charge cycles. The dongle is, at present, the only way to add an “on-battery” sensing capability to the MultiPlus-II models, if they are not also connected to a GX device and CANbus battery.The dongle can be used in systems with or without a GX device - such as the CCGX. In systems with a GX device and another source of temperature and voltage data (eg from a CANbus battery), the CCGX data will override temperature and voltage information from the dongle. In this role the dongle will still provide live-information via its VictronConnect interface; and it will provide firmware updates without requiring an internet connection. When the dongle is used in systems which do not have a GX device, the dongle's voltage and temperature data becomes the primary source of that information and can be used by other connected devices for voltage compensation. At this time, the VE.Bus Smart dongle cannot send its temperature and voltage data as part of a VE.Smart network. The VE.Bus Smart dongle is able to sense battery temperature in two ways: The default method is the dongle's on-board temperature sensor. When the dongle is mounted directly onto the battery case (using its adhesive attachment) it will sense the battery temperature directly from the battery casing.

• NEED A 12V LITHIUM BATTERY CHARGER (LIFEPO4) ?

DC-DC Charging For Lithium Batteries

Regarding DC-DC Chargers and solar controllers, you must change these to LiFePO4-specific models, which can charge your Lithium batteries to an entire 100% State of Charge.  **If you are charging from an alternator, you will need a DC-DC Charger that is designed to manage solar specific to lithium (LiFEPO4).

HOW DOES THIS DEVICE WORK ? 

Smart Battery Sense long range (up to 10m) is a wireless battery voltage-and-temperature sensor for Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. The Solar Charger uses these measurements to optimise its charge parameters. 

> Voltage and Temperature Sense

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.

> 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.

MPPT charge controllers can be a powerful component of your solar system. They not only manage the charging of the battery bank from the solar panels, but they are also able to convert the higher voltage of the solar array to the lower voltage of the battery bank. This allows you to design highly efficient solar systems.** You take the total watts of the solar array divided by the voltage of the battery bank. That will give you the output current of the charge controller. For example, a 1000W solar array ÷ 24V battery bank = 41.6A. The rating of the charge controller should be at least 40A
