SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT 250v/70a The 250v 70a SmartSolar controller gathers and optimises energy from your solar panels to store in your battery bank. Using the latest MPPT technology the solar control unit intelligently monitors energy to produce a full charge battery in the shortest period, whilst protecting battery life and health. The SmartSolar charge controller will recharge a severely depleted battery with a voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently damaged. Features Smart Bluetooth Connectivity with Victron Connect App Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Programable Charge Profiles Load output - perfect for LED lighting Automatic Voltage Detection  250volt Maximum Open Circuit Voltage 70amp Maximum Charge Current MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking By monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels in real time, MPPT technology ensures that every last amp of available power is used from your panels, and diverted for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is cloudy, and light intensity is changing. Remote Monitoring and Control Remotely control and monitor your SmartSolar MPPT charger by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via the VictronConnect App. If your installation is connected to the internet via a Cerbo GX MK 2 device, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) gives you access to your MPPT at anytime, anywhere in the world; both VictronConnect and VRM are free to access. For installations with no internet connection nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the  GlobalLink 520. If you are unsure of which charge controller is best for your system contact the Butler Technik support team for professional advice. Looking for a complete solar charging kit?
