Victron energy Smart Battery Sense, Manual

Page: 3 / 8

1. Introduction
Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage-and-temperature sensor for Victron MPPT Solar Chargers.
The Solar Charger uses these measurements to optimize its charge parameters. The accuracy of the data it transmits will
improve battery charging efficiency, and prolong battery life.
The connection between Smart Battery Sense and one or more Solar Charger(s) is wireless: It uses VE.Smart Network - a
wireless technology based on Bluetooth Smart.
Simple to install & configure, Smart Battery Sense comes with an inline fuse and pre-crimped eyelets. Revealing the self-
adhesive tape on the back allows you to mount it directly on the battery.

When can I use Smart Battery Sense ...and when should I avoid using it?
• Check the VE.Smart Networking compatible products list for compatible Solar Chargers.
• Smart Battery Sense is not needed, or allowed, in systems which are already controlled by a Color Control GX or Venus GX,
see FAQ Q6 for more info.
• Smart Battery Sense is not needed for installations which already have a BMV-712 (battery monitor) with a temperature sensor
accessory.
• For installations using a BMV-702 together with its optional temperature sensor accessory - for wireless connectivity consider
adding a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle instead of a Smart Battery Sense.
