Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 48/13 (1) 120-240V - PSC481350095
Description
Overview
The Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 48/13 (1) is a 48V, 13A adaptive battery charger with a single output for one battery bank. Natural convection cooled, with Bluetooth built in and a wide 85–250VAC input (90–375VDC), it suits off-grid, marine and backup power systems.
Its adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm (3-stage for Li-ion) charges both lead-acid and LiFePO₄ batteries, with Normal, High and Lithium modes selectable from the mode button and a fully programmable algorithm via Bluetooth or VE.Direct. Set up, monitor and update it from the VictronConnect app, or connect it to a GX device such as the Cerbo GX for full system integration.
Please note: the AC mains cord is ordered separately. For Australian and New Zealand installations, add the Victron Mains Cable AU/NZ 2m (ADA010100300).
Key Features
High-Performance Charging Design
- 13A charge current to a single 48V battery bank (6.5A low current mode)
- Up to 96% efficiency at 230VAC (94% at 120VAC)
- Power factor >0.99 and natural convection cooling
Inherently Safe Battery Charging
- Adaptive 6-stage algorithm: bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, refresh
- Variable absorption time — short after shallow discharges, extended after deep discharges
- BatterySafe mode limits excessive gassing; Storage mode reduces float voltage when the battery is not in use
- Protected against battery reverse polarity, output short circuit and over temperature
Lithium (LiFePO₄) Ready
- Dedicated Lithium mode: 56.8V absorption, 54V storage
- Remote on/off port for control from a Li-ion BMS relay or optocoupler output
- Full control of charge voltage and current via Bluetooth
Integrated Monitoring & Control
- Bluetooth Smart built in — set up, monitor, control and update with VictronConnect
- VE.Direct interface for a wired connection to a GX device, with Instant Readout remotely from VRM
- VE.Smart Networking: battery voltage and temperature sensing from a Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt or BMV-712, plus synchronised charging across multiple Smart IP43 Chargers
- Programmable relay (SPDT) to trip on alarms or other events
Installation & System Integration
- 85–250VAC input (full power from 100VAC) or 90–375VDC
- Screw battery terminals for cables up to 16mm² (AWG6)
- IEC 320 C14 AC inlet with retainer clip — mains cord ordered separately (ADA010100300 for AU/NZ)
- Can also be used as a power supply, with output voltage set via Bluetooth or VE.Direct
Operating Environment
- IP43 aluminium enclosure
- Operating range -20 to 60°C (rated output up to 40°C, derating linearly to 20% at 60°C)
- Humidity up to 95% (non-condensing)
