Victron Energy Phoenix IP21 Adaptive Dual Leisure Battery Mains 240V Charger - 12V 10amp
Victron Energy Phoenix IP21: The Adaptive Dual Battery Charger for Your Mobile Power Needs
Intelligent Charging for a Healthy Leisure Battery:
The Victron Energy Phoenix IP21 is a professional-grade, mains-powered (240V) battery charger specifically designed for 12V leisure batteries in campervans, caravans, and motorhomes. It boasts an intelligent, microprocessor-controlled adaptive charging system that optimizes the charging process based on battery usage patterns, ensuring a healthy and long-lasting battery.
Key Features:
- Adaptive 4-Stage Charging: This advanced charging algorithm delivers a tailored approach for bulk, absorption, float, and storage stages. It ensures optimal charging regardless of how frequently your battery discharges.
- Dual Full-Rated Outputs + 1 x 4 Amp Output: Power two full-sized leisure batteries simultaneously with the Phoenix IP21's dual outputs. The additional 4 Amp output provides further versatility for charging smaller devices.
- Universal Input & Compatibility: The charger accepts a wide range of AC input voltages (90-265V, 50/60Hz) for global compatibility. It can also handle DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation).
- Automatic Optimization: The adaptive feature automatically adjusts the charging process based on your battery usage. Shallow discharges receive a shorter absorption time to prevent overcharging, while deep discharges trigger a longer absorption time for a complete recharge.
Advanced Features for Extended Battery Life:
- BatterySafe Mode: Prevents damage from excessive gassing during high-current charging by automatically limiting the voltage increase once the gassing voltage is reached.
- Storage Mode: Minimizes maintenance and aging when your battery isn't in use. The storage mode reduces float voltage after 24 hours of non-discharge, then raises it weekly for equalization, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation.
- Temperature Compensation: Every Phoenix IP21 includes a battery temperature sensor. This feature automatically adjusts the charging voltage for optimal performance, especially crucial for sealed batteries or environments with fluctuating temperatures.
- Battery Voltage Sense: Compensates for voltage loss in cables, ensuring the battery receives the correct charging voltage.
Additional Benefits:
- Universal AC Input: Adapts to various AC power sources for global use.
- DC Supply Capability: Provides flexibility for DC power systems.
- Computer Interface: Allows for customization of charging parameters using Victron's VEConfigure software (free download) and the MK2-USB data link (sold separately).
The Victron Energy Phoenix IP21 offers a comprehensive solution for optimizing your leisure battery's health and performance. Its intelligent charging, versatility, and advanced features make it a valuable asset for any campervan, caravan, or motorhome owner.
