DESCRIPTION

Technology

The Phoenix Charger is a fully high-frequency switched battery charger. The input is electronically powerfactor corrected by the first powerstage.

The next stage gives provision for galvanic isolation and a perfect DC voltage at the output terminals.

A very accurate charging state of the battery is guaranteed because the charging process is microcontroller regulated.

The internal electronic parts are protected against moisture and dirt by means of a special coating, which assures a long lifetime of your battery charger.

Two high-capacity batteries and an additional low-capacity battery can be charged with this charger.

Adaptive Charging

The new Phoenix Charger uses the Adaptive Charging Characteristic. The Adaptive Charging Characteristic distinguishes from other charging characteristic on several topics. The main 3 topics are Rapid Charging, Battery Safe Mode and All Season Mode.

Generally speaking the Phoenix Charger will adapt to the connected batteries.

Rapid charging

In the first stage, the bulk phase, of the charging cycle the batteries are charged with higher current then traditional charging methods. The bulk phase will stop at the point where the battery voltage will be 14,4V or 28,8V. From here the absorption phase will start.

Based on the measured bulk time the length of the absorption time will be calculated. For this the charger micro-controller will monitor several parameters of the battery.

BatterySafe mode

But what if your battery needs a higher absorption voltage? The charger will gradually raise the applied voltage to the battery until it reaches the set absorption voltage. This phase we call the BatterySafe Mode. It will safe your battery from destruction by overcharging.

The Phoenix Charger is temperature compensated. The charger will recalculate different values based on the battery temperature.

All Season mode

For periods were you do not use your batteries and the mains is applied to the charger, the Phoenix Charger will reduce its float voltage. By doing this we reduce the gassing in your battery so they will not run dry after a longer period of not using your battery.

To keep your batteries in shape the Phoenix Charger will raise the applied voltage once a week. This we call the repetitive absorption.

Operation

The battery charger charges the battery with a 4-stage adaptive charging characteristic, see specifications at the back for details. It can remain connected to the battery continuously, without increased gas formation, caused by overcharging, taking place.

The charger can be used for different types of batteries but the default settings are for Sonnenschein A200 dryfit gel batteries. See specifications for other pre-programmed battery types.

For use with other types of batteries please contact your battery supplier to inform you about the right charging voltages. If necessary let the Phoenix Charger be readjusted.

The full charging current of the Phoenix Charger is divided in two main outputs.

An extra output with limited charge capacity is available to charge a starter battery for example. The charger is protected against short-circuit at the outputs and too high ambient temperature.

Temperature sensor

The Phoenix Charger is factory shipped with a temperature sensor. Its function is to measure the battery temperature and adjust the charging voltages accordingly. By this means superiour charging is achieved and a longer lifetime of the battery is assured.

Voltage sense

Using the Voltage sense connection will compensate the battery cable loss.

Controls

The Phoenix Charger will start charging by switching it ON with the switch at the front panel. One of the LED's at the front will indicate the progress of charge state:

Battery is less then 80% charged.

Battery is approximately charged for 80%. If Bulk LED is illuminating as well the set absorption voltage has not yet been reached (Battery Safe Mode).

Battery is fully charged and will be kept charged with trickle charge.

An output fuse is defective or the ambient temperature of the charger is too high.

VICTRON ENERGY Phoenix Charger - Controls - 1

text_image Bulk Absorption Float Failure

The Phoenix Charger will stop charging by switching it OFF with the switch at the front panel.

Equalize a traction set

This is done at a higher voltage than most DC-equipment can handle so all consumer electronics should be disconnected before equalizing the battery.

  • Put the charger in off position. Switch ON-OFF-ON within 2 seconds.
  • You'll see all the LED's flashing 5 times. After the 5th time all LEDs illuminate in sequence:
  • Bulk –switch OFF-ON when this LED lights up. Now the charger increases its voltage up to 1 Volt above Absorption voltage for a 12V model or 2 Volts for a 24V model. The maximum current in this mode is limited to 14 of the adjusted maximum charge current. The charger will stay in this mode for 1 hour and then switches to Float mode. Equalizing will only work with an already charged battery. If the battery voltage remains too low (see specs) for >60 seconds the charger switches to Bulk mode and continues charging according normal charging characteristic.

Force to Absorption mode for fixed time

In certain circumstances it can be desirable to charge the battery occasionally with Absorption voltage for a fixed time.

  • Put the charger in off position. Switch ON-OFF-ON within 2 seconds.
  • You'll see all the LED's flashing 5 times. After the 5th time a sequence starts:
  • Bulk –wait.
  • Absorption –switch OFF-ON when this LED lights up.

Now the charger will stay in Absorption mode for the default or adjusted fixed Absorption time.

Remote control

The Phoenix Charger can be remote controlled optionally. With the Phoenix Charger Control all indicators can be seen and additionally the charging current. With this remote control it is possible to temporarily limit the charging current. This could be useful in case of a low current mains connection in combination with other utility equipment.

Figure 1: Adaptive charging:

Bulk-mode: Entered after a reset or if the battery voltage becomes 1.3V resp. 2.6V (for 12V and 24V charger) lower than Float voltage. Constant current is applied until the battery has reached 14.4V resp. 28.8V (for 12V and 24V charger, temperature compensated).

Battery Safe mode: The applied voltage to the battery is raised gradually until the set Absorption voltage is reached. The Battery Safe Mode is part of the calculated absorption time.

Absorption-mode: Absorption voltage is applied until {actual-Bulk-Ah*5 / max.adjusted-Bulk-current} (in hours) is reached. Usually {actual-Bulk-Ah*5} = {max.adjusted-Bulk-current * Bulk-hours *5}, but the actual-Bulk-current can be limited by ambient temperature, or remote-control. The maximum time in Absorption mode is the Maximum Absorption time set with control panel.

Float-mode: Float voltage is applied to keep the battery fully charged and to protect it against self discharge. After one day of Float charge a reduced Float charge is applied. This is 13V resp. 26V (for 12V and 24V charger, temperature compensated). This will limit water loss to a minimum when the battery is stored for the winter season.

After an adjustable time (default = 7 days) the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode for an adjustable time (default = 4 quarters).
