Charger converter

A Charger Converter combines the functions of two devices into one:
- the converter function (voltage converter or inverter) transforms the direct current (12V, 24V or 48V produced by a photovoltaic panel) into alternating current 220V or 230V;
- The charger function allows to recharge one (or more) batteries from the EDF network or another 220V power source (eg generator).
Some accept only one AC source and others accept at least 2 between which they can switch according to their programming. These devices are the ideal tool in a generator backup system.
  Battery converter / charger incorporating a high-speed power transfer system

  • We recommend the use of Multi charger chargers for mobile solar installations on boats, in motorhomes or in small houses or holiday homes to mix solar energy and conventional energy (EDF network or generator)
    The Multi VICTRON charger converters offer exceptional performance: exceptional efficiency (93% to 94% of the converted power), very high peak power (to cope with an occasional demand for energy, when certain electrical devices start) and signal electric very pure and perfectly constant.
    The battery charger of the Multi offers the ultimate, the charge it provides to the battery is called "adaptive" (Victron Energy technology): this ensures that each charge cycle corresponds exactly to the needs of the battery.
    The Multi converters / chargers are particularly robust: they support more than twice their nominal power over short periods of time to cope with sudden currents (eg starting an engine).

  • General:
    • Multi-functional
    The name of Multi comes from the many functions it can offer. It is a powerful sine wave converter, a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charging technology and a high-speed AC power transfer switch in one compact package.
    Apart from these primary functions, however, the Multi has several advanced features that offer a range of new applications as shown below. • Uninterrupted AC power
    In the event of a mains power failure, or if shore power or generator power has been disconnected, the Multi's inverter is activated automatically and it takes over from the connected loads.
    This is so fast (less than 20 milliseconds)  computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without interruption.
    • PowerControl - Lateral wharf or limited generator power processing capability
    A maximum shore or generator current can be installed with a Multi Control Panel. The Multi will then take into account other AC loads and it will use all that is extra for charging, preventing the generator or shore power from being overloaded.
    • Programmable relay
    The Multi is equipped with a programmable relay, which is configured by default as an alarm relay. This relay can be programmed for all types of applications, for example as a starter relay for a generator.
    Battery charger:
    • Adaptive load characteristics in 4 steps: bulk - absorption - float - standby
    The adaptive microprocessor controlled battery management system can be set for various types of batteries. The "adaptive" function automatically adapts the charging process to the use of the battery.
      • The right dose of load: variable absorption time
    In the case of a light battery discharge, the absorption is kept reduced in order to prevent overcharging and excessive gas formation. After a large unload, the absorption time is automatically raised to fully charge the  battery.
      • Prevention of gassing damage: BatterySafe mode
    If, in order to quickly recharge a battery, a high load power is associated with a high absorption voltage, the deterioration due to excessive gassing will be avoided by automatically limiting the progression of the voltage, as soon as the gassing voltage has been reached. .
      • Less maintenance and aging if the battery is not used: standby mode
    Standby mode is triggered when the battery has not been used for 24 hours. In standby mode, the float voltage is reduced to 2.2V / cell (13.2V for a 12V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of positive plates. Once a week, the  Voltage is raised at the absorption level to "equalize" the battery. This process prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, major causes of premature aging of batteries.
      • Two DC outputs for charging two batteries
    The main terminal CC can provide the entire output current. The second output, intended for charging a starter battery, is limited to 1A and its output voltage is slightly lower.
      • Increased battery life: temperature compensation
    The temperature sensor, which is supplied with the product, serves to reduce the charging voltage as the battery temperature increases. This is especially important for maintenance-free batteries that may dry out due to overload.
      • More about batteries and their charge
    The book "Energy without limits" gives more information on the batteries and their charge. It is available free of charge on the Victron website (see www.victronenergy.com> Support and Downloads> General technical information).
