Victron Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage and temperature sensor for Victron MPPT solar chargers. With a voltage and temperature sensor installed, batteries are better charged, charging efficiency is improved and battery life is increased. Improving battery charging By measuring the voltage at the battery bank terminals, errors caused by voltage drop due to cable resistance can be avoided, thus ensuring the correct charging voltage. For lead-acid batteries, battery temperature data is used to adjust the charging voltage: cold batteries require a higher charging voltage and warm batteries require a lower charging voltage. For lithium batteries, the battery's temperature data is used to stop charging when they are too cold. Charging a lithium battery that is near or below freezing can cause permanent damage to the cells. The connection between Smart Battery Sense and one or more solar chargers is wireless: it uses the VE.Smart Network - a wireless technology based on Bluetooth Smart.
