Battery Monitoring

Philadelphia Scientific: SmartBlinky™ Mini Tap – Enhancing Battery Maintenance and Efficiency Introduction: The SmartBlinky™ Mini Tap from Philadelphia Scientific is a game-changer in battery maintenance for industrial and recreational applications. Designed to be a valuable addition to your battery maintenance toolkit, this device stands out with its ultra-bright LED and patented smart sensing technology, making it ideal for a wide range of lead-acid batteries. Super Bright LED for Clear Visibility: The new SmartBlinky™ boasts a Super Bright LED, which is 8 times brighter than its predecessor. This enhancement means a clearer and more noticeable indication when your battery needs watering. The LED is seamlessly integrated into the probe body, which sits directly on the battery, making it easily visible even from a distance. Versatile Compatibility: This versatile device is compatible with all industrial lead-acid batteries, including 6 and 12-volt golf and block batteries. Whether for industrial use or recreational activities, the SmartBlinky™ Mini Tap adapts to your specific battery needs. Patented Smart Sensing Technology: The SmartBlinky™ features cutting-edge Smart Sensing Technology. This technology ensures that the device only signals for watering when necessary, eliminating false indications. The clear green (water level OK) and red (water needed) lights provide unmistakable cues for battery maintenance, optimizing watering intervals and preventing overwatering. User-Friendly Design: Ease of use is a hallmark of the SmartBlinky™. The industry-leading bright LED is not just visible but also interpretable: a calm, bright green flash indicates an adequate water level, while a rapid, bright red flash signals the need for water.

This innovative data transfer hub allows you to fully control your system from any location and helps you maximize its performance. Connectivity is simple via the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal or directly through the GX Touch 50 device, an MFD, or the VictronConnect App, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth capability. As the latest member of the GX family, this product combines advanced connectivity features to create a new intelligent solution. You can monitor the battery charge status, power consumption, solar energy generation, generator and grid usage, or check tank levels and perform temperature measurements in real time. Easily manage the maximum allowed shore power current, start and stop generators, control multiple generators, and adjust any setting to optimize system performance. Additionally, you can track alarms, perform diagnostics, and troubleshoot issues remotely. The Cerbo GX turns all power management challenges into simple routines. The Cerbo GX maximizes the real-time performance of your system’s components and keeps them in optimal working condition. The dual-core processor and an additional CAN bus port provide support for even larger systems, allowing you to monitor the health of lithium or other batteries closely and connect up to 25 VE.Can solar chargers simultaneously via the second bus port. The new NMEA 2000 support for outgoing signals enables seamless integration with any marine electronics system. With four tank and four temperature inputs, three VE.Direct ports, three USB ports, four digital inputs, and two relays, this device takes control to a whole new level. Maximizing system performance has never been easier. The new (optional) GX Touch 50 display offers a real-time view of your system and allows instant adjustments to settings. Its ultra-thin, waterproof 5-inch casing and easy surface mounting provide flexible options for a clean and stylish dashboard setup. The Cerbo GX is now optimized to exceed the demands of professional installers. It can be easily mounted on a DIN rail (using a separately ordered small DIN35 adapter) and its separate touchscreen can now be attached from the front of the dashboard, eliminating the need to cut perfectly shaped openings (as was required with the Color Control GX). The connection is made with a single cable, avoiding the hassle of running multiple cables behind the dashboard. The new Bluetooth feature enables quick connection and configuration via the VictronConnect App. The Cerbo GX offers limitless solutions, extending full control to a wide variety of applications. In generator-based, marine, or backup power & off-grid applications, it allows for starting/stopping generators or delaying their start during “quiet” times of the day. In energy storage systems, it ensures batteries remain at 100% charge, activates them during power outages, and directs excess (solar) energy for self-consumption, saving money. In vehicle applications, it helps maintain critical systems in perfect working order.

Victron Smart BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. Dimensions:59 x 42 x 115 (mm) When using Bluetooth to program the Smart BatteryProtect any required engage/disengage levels can be set. Alternatively, one of nine predefined engage/disengage levels can be set with the programming pin (see manual).  If required, Bluetooth can be disabled. The Smart BatteryProtect is a uni-directional device. It can only deal with the current in one direction, so either current to a load, or current from a charger, but not both currents at the same time. In addition to this, current only can only flow from the IN terminal to the OUT terminal. In case of use with a load, the battery connects to the IN terminal, and in case of use with a charger, the charger connects to the IN terminal. Important! The Smart BatteryProtect is not designed to handle reverse currents from charging sources.

The SmartShunt is a versatile battery monitor that doesn’t come with its own display, as your smartphone serves as the screen. The SmartShunt connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect App installed on your phone or tablet. You can conveniently monitor all key metrics, such as battery state of charge, remaining capacity (estimated time left at the current rate of consumption), historical data, and more. Alternatively, you can connect the SmartShunt to a GX device and view the information on its display. The connection between the SmartShunt and the GX device is made using a VE.Direct cable. The SmartShunt is an excellent alternative to the BMV battery monitor, especially in systems where a battery monitor is needed but additional wiring is undesirable. The SmartShunt features Bluetooth connectivity, a VE.Direct port, and an additional connection that can be used for monitoring a second battery, center-point monitoring, or connecting a temperature sensor. The SmartShunt is currently available in a 500A model, with 1000A and 2000A models expected to be released later this year.
