Victron Smart Battery Sense Long Range: Precision Voltage and Temperature Sensing for Optimal Charging

Wireless Battery Monitoring for 12V, 24V, and 48V Systems

The Victron Smart Battery Sense Long Range is a compact, wireless sensor that delivers real-time battery voltage and temperature data directly to your Victron solar chargers and Smart IP43 chargers. By measuring at the battery terminals, it eliminates voltage drop errors caused by cable resistance, ensuring your batteries receive the correct charge voltage. This precise control enhances charging efficiency, extends battery lifespan, and protects your investment in lead-acid or lithium battery banks.

Designed for seamless integration with the Victron ecosystem, this sensor uses VE.Smart Networking via Bluetooth Smart, with an extended range of up to 10 metres. It is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled VE.Direct MPPTs and the Smart IP43 charger, making it a versatile addition to caravans, motorhomes, marine vessels, and off-grid solar installations.

Why Accurate Voltage Sensing Matters

In any DC power system, voltage drop occurs along the cables between the charger and the battery. Without compensation, the charger may undercharge the battery, leading to sulphation in lead-acid batteries or incomplete charging in lithium batteries. The Smart Battery Sense measures voltage directly at the battery terminals and transmits this data wirelessly to the charger, which adjusts its output accordingly. This ensures the battery receives the exact voltage required for each charging stage, improving charge efficiency and battery health.

Temperature-Compensated Charging for Lead-Acid Batteries

Lead-acid batteries are sensitive to temperature: cold batteries require a higher charge voltage, while hot batteries need a lower voltage to prevent overcharging and gassing. The integrated temperature sensor in the Smart Battery Sense provides real-time battery temperature data, allowing connected chargers to automatically adjust charge parameters. This temperature compensation is critical for maximising the service life of flooded, AGM, and gel batteries, especially in Australian conditions where temperature extremes are common.

Protect Lithium Batteries from Cold-Weather Damage

Lithium batteries, particularly LiFePO4, can suffer permanent damage if charged at temperatures near or below freezing. The Smart Battery Sense monitors battery temperature and, when paired with a compatible Victron charger, can disable charging in cold conditions. This essential safety feature prevents costly cell degradation and ensures your lithium battery bank remains reliable for years.

Key Features

• Compact dimensions: 40.2 mm x 42 mm x 14.7 mm

Seamless Integration with VictronConnect

Setup and monitoring are effortless using the VictronConnect app. The Smart Battery Sense appears in the device list, displaying live voltage and temperature readings. You can configure multiple chargers to share the same sensor data, ensuring consistent charging across a multi-charger system. The wireless connection eliminates the need for additional wiring, keeping your installation tidy and reducing potential points of failure.

Built for Reliability in Mobile and Off-Grid Environments

Encased in a durable, compact housing, the Smart Battery Sense is designed to withstand the vibrations and temperature fluctuations typical of mobile installations. The self-adhesive backing allows secure attachment directly to the battery case, while the 8 mm ring terminals provide a solid connection to battery posts. The inline fuse adds an extra layer of safety, protecting the sensor and wiring from overcurrent conditions.

Applications

• Caravans and motorhomes: Ensure accurate charging of house batteries from solar or DC-DC chargers
• Marine: Compensate for long cable runs in boats and yachts
• Off-grid solar: Optimise charging for battery banks in remote cabins and sheds
• 4WD and camping: Protect auxiliary batteries from undercharging or cold-weather damage
