Load Output: Protect Your Battery

Prevent battery over-discharge by connecting all loads to the load output. The intelligent load output disconnects the load when the battery voltage drops to a preset level, safeguarding your battery with our intelligent battery management algorithm.

Battery Life: Prolong Battery Longevity

Our innovative Battery Life algorithm enhances the efficiency of your solar charge controller, promoting optimal battery charging and avoiding the harmful cycling between partially charged and fully discharged states. This approach helps maintain near full recharge approximately once every week, significantly extending battery life.

Programmable Battery Charge Algorithm: Tailored Charging

Dive into the software section on our website to discover how you can customize the battery charge algorithm to suit your specific needs, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency.

Day/Night Timing and Light Dimming

Explore advanced features like day/night timing and light dimming options for added control and efficiency. Visit our software section for more information on how to implement these features.

Internal Temperature Sensor: Precise Charge Compensation

Benefit from accurate charge compensation with our internal temperature sensor, which adjusts absorption and float charge voltages in response to temperature fluctuations, ensuring efficient and accurate charging under all conditions.

Optional External Battery Voltage and Temperature Sensing

Enhance your monitoring capabilities with optional devices such as Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. These accessories communicate critical battery voltage and temperature information to your SmartSolar Charge Controllers via Bluetooth, further improving your system's performance.

Advanced Charging Features

Adaptive 3-Stage Battery Charging

Victron's sophisticated 3-stage charging process includes Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages, meticulously designed to ensure efficient battery charging and maximized battery health.

  • Bulk Stage: Rapidly charges the batteries with maximum current until the absorption voltage is reached.
  • Absorption Stage: Switches to constant voltage mode, gradually reducing current to maintain battery health.
  • Float Stage: Maintains batteries at a reduced voltage, ensuring they remain fully charged without overcharging, particularly during nighttime when solar power is not available.

Flexible Charge Algorithm and Equalization Charging

Utilize the VictronConnect App to select from 8 pre-set charge algorithms or create a fully programmable charge algorithm, allowing for complete customization of charge voltages, stage durations, and current for optimal efficiency. Additionally, activate equalization charging for specific lead-acid battery types to balance cell voltages, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Transform your solar power system with the Victron 12/24/48V 20A SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller for unparalleled efficiency, advanced battery management, and user-friendly operation.

Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy


Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user.
