250V 85A SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER BY VICTRON ENERGY
A 250V 85A solar charge controller that gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes this energy harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulfated or otherwise damaged. This 85A charge controller works well with all types of Canbat batteries including Lithium Iron Phosphate, Sealed Lead Acid and Lead Carbon.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Bluetooth Smart built-in
The wireless solution to set up, monitor, update and synchronize SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
VE.Direct
For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in the case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Load output
Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage (48V model: interface with a relay). Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life. The load output is short circuit proof.
Battery Life: intelligent battery management
When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months.
The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards, the load disconnect level will be modulated so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.
Programmable battery charge algorithm
Day/night timing and light dimming option
Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.
Optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth
A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
Fully discharged battery recovery function
Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an integrated disconnect function.

Price Match Policy
Eligibility Criteria:
- Minimum Price Threshold: Our commitment to providing you with the best value extends to items priced at $150 or more. We proudly offer a price match guarantee on these items, ensuring that if you discover the same product at a lower cost from one of our competitors, we will match that price.
- Identical Items: To qualify for a price match, the item must be an exact match in terms of brand, model, size, color, and quantity to the competitor’s offering. We strive to guarantee consistency and fairness in our price matching policy.
- Verification of Competitor’s Price: To initiate a price match, please provide evidence of the competitor’s lower price. This can be achieved through their current advertisement, online listing, or a written offer/quote. It is imperative that the documentation clearly displays the competitor’s information for transparency. Acceptable submissions include official quotes and URLs linking directly to the identical product on the competitor’s website. Note: Correspondence via email with a sales representative is not considered sufficient evidence for a price match.

Exclusions:
- Clearance, closeout, liquidation sales, or damaged items are not eligible for the price match.
- The policy does not apply to services or bundled items.
- Cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.

While we strive to offer competitive pricing, we acknowledge that we cannot always match the exceptionally low prices found on Amazon due to their vast marketplace and unique pricing strategies. We are committed to providing value through our Price Match Policy within the parameters outlined above, ensuring fairness and transparency in our pricing practices.
At Circuit Solar, we are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction by consistently offering competitive pricing. Our updated Price Matching Policy is designed to streamline the process, providing clear guidelines to make your experience seamless and transparent.
