Launch of Victron's Smart Battery Sense

The MPPTs fitted with a VE.Direct port can now work with Voltage and Temperature sense. The Smart Battery Sense is a new product that complements this feature - It's simple, smart and wireless. We have a list of updated certificates for the SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and we have a blog with an update of news from the team of young Dutch scientists known as Impossible Robotics. Make sure you check the list of updated documentation; Victron training days -and the list of exhibitions.

 

Voltage & Temperature Sense for Solar Chargers

Our range of solar chargers fitted with a VE.Direct port were lacking battery voltage and temperature charge compensation. Not anymore! 

To complement this feature we have a new product: Victron Energy’s Smart Battery Sense. It’s a battery voltage and temperature sensor for Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. It’s new, simple, smart …and wireless.
The Smart Battery Sense is available from stock.

NICE TO KNOW

 

Nothing is impossible…….

When Impossible Robotics – the Dutch science students competing in the global robot games organised by FIRST – arrived in Orlando, their first job was to finish their incomplete robot. But as only four team members were available to participate, competitors Exploding Bacon lent them manpower. That says a lot about the spirit of the games.
