Victron Energy Smart IP43 Charger 12/30 (3) 120–240V – PSC123053095

The Victron Energy Smart IP43 Charger 12/30 (3) is an intelligent mains battery charger designed for 12V battery systems in campervans, motorhomes, caravans, boats and off-grid installations.

Delivering up to 30A of total charging current, this model features three full-current battery outputs, allowing up to three separate 12V battery banks to be connected and charged from one unit. Each output can provide the charger’s full rated current when required, although the combined current across all three outputs cannot exceed 30A.

This makes it an excellent choice for installations with multiple service, leisure or auxiliary battery banks that require reliable charging while connected to mains or shore power.

Three Full-Current Battery Outputs

Unlike the 1+1 model, which includes a lower-current starter battery output, the 12/30 (3) provides three equivalent charging connections.

The available 30A output is automatically shared between the connected battery banks according to demand. This allows one battery bank to receive the full output when the others require little or no charging.

The three outputs are electrically connected internally and are intended for battery banks operating at the same nominal voltage and using compatible charging requirements.

Intelligent Adaptive Charging

The Smart IP43 Charger uses Victron’s adaptive charging system to adjust the charging cycle according to how the batteries have been used.

Its six-stage charging process includes:

• Bulk
• Absorption
• Recondition
• Float
• Storage
• Refresh

After a shallow discharge, the charger keeps the absorption period shorter to help avoid unnecessary overcharging. Following a deeper discharge, the absorption period is extended to help return the batteries to a full charge.

Storage mode reduces the charging voltage when the batteries remain connected for long periods, helping minimise corrosion, gassing and water loss in suitable lead-acid batteries.

Built-In Bluetooth Smart

Integrated Bluetooth allows the charger to be monitored and configured through the VictronConnect app using a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.

Through VictronConnect, you can:

• View charging voltage and current
• Monitor charging progress
• Select the correct battery profile
• Adjust charging voltages and current limits
• Review charging history
• Configure alarms and relay settings
• Update the charger’s firmware

The charger also includes a VE.Direct port, allowing it to connect to a compatible Victron GX device for wider system integration and remote monitoring.

Battery Compatibility

The Victron Smart IP43 Charger can be configured for a range of 12V battery types, including:

• Flooded lead-acid batteries
• AGM batteries
• GEL batteries
• Calcium batteries
• Victron lithium batteries
• Compatible LiFePO4 batteries

The selected charging profile should always match the voltage requirements specified by the battery manufacturer.

Important Installation Information

The three outputs share a combined maximum charging current of 30A. They do not each provide 30A simultaneously.

The connected battery banks should operate at the same nominal voltage and use compatible charging settings. Different battery chemistries or batteries requiring significantly different charging voltages should not be connected to the three outputs without confirming system compatibility.

A suitable AC mains lead, battery cabling and fuse protection should be selected for the installation. The AC power cord may need to be purchased separately depending on the supplied package.

The Victron Smart IP43 Charger 12/30 (3) is an excellent solution for installations requiring intelligent mains charging across multiple 12V battery banks, combining three charging connections, Bluetooth configuration and professional-grade battery management in one compact unit.
