Description
250V 60A Solar Charge Controller MC4 Connection by Victron Energy
A 250V 60A solar charge controller MC4 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 60A 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.

WOW!! this is amazing, the 250V 60A solar charge controller MC4 is the best solar charge controller I have ever seen. The wireless setup, the update, the synchronizations are designed to perfection. Can’t have any complains with this product.

Got two A 250V 60A solar charge controller from Canbat a week ago for my solar project, works amazingly well. I had a little bit of trouble with the setup, I couldn’t figure it out as to what went wrong even though I followed the instructions step by step; I called Canbat and they helped me solve the problem I had, very helpful, and great customer service.

It’s expensive, but for a Victron MPPT Smart Solar charge controller; I say it’s worth every penny. You do need to buy a SmartSolar pluggable display separately if you want to have a display on your Solar charge controller. Other than that, I say every aspect of it is flawless.

The Victron’s 250V 60A charge controller is one Victron Energy’s best product I have seen, the setup was easy and simple, you can program battery charge algorithm, even has an internal temperature sensor, I am glad I went with this one.
