Victron BlueSmart IP22 chargers now with VE.Smart networking

Just when you thought it could not get any better, Victron's IP22 BlueSmart range of chargers have been updated with VE.Smart networking functionality. The VE.Smart Network is a wireless device to device (D2D) communication network between Victron products, using Bluetooth Smart.

Synchronized parallel charging

Synchronize up to ten battery chargers in a VE.Smart network to make them charge a battery as if they were one large charger. The chargers will synchronize the charge algorithm between them and will simultaneously switch from one charge state to another, for example from bulk to absorption.

Advantages of Synchronized parallel charging

  • Redundancy: if one charger stops for whatever reason, the other chargers will continue to operate.
  • Flexibility: simply add a charger to the network if more current is needed.
  • Cost: several low power chargers will in general cost less than one high power charger.
  • Installation: several low power chargers may be easier to fit in a confined space.

Note.
1.The VE.Smart Network feature is enabled on all IP22 chargers with serial number HQ2024xxxxx and later.
2.Models with different current ratings can be paralleled and synchronized.
