To read the charge of the starter or body battery in the Marco Polo via smartphone app, you will find an inexpensive and simple solution here.

The sensor is glued to the battery and the two cables are connected to the battery. The voltage and temperature are read via the smartphone app - Victron Connect.

Battery monitoring for the body battery is particularly useful in the Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo Horizon or Activity without a voltage display.

Improved battery charging: wireless temperature monitoring

The Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage and temperature sensor for Victron MPPT solar chargers.
With a voltage and temperature sensor, the batteries are charged better, the charging efficiency is improved and the service life of the battery is extended.

By measuring the voltage directly at the connections of the battery bank, errors caused by voltage loss due to cable resistance are avoided. This ensures the correct charging voltage.

With lead batteries, the battery temperature data is used to adjust the charging voltages: cold batteries require a higher charging voltage, whereas hot batteries require a lower charging voltage.
For lithium batteries, the temperature data is used to interrupt charging if the batteries are too cold: Charging lithium batteries at temperatures around freezing or below will permanently damage the cells.

No wiring

The connection between the Smart Battery Sense and one or more solar charger(s) is wireless. A VE.Smart Network is used - a wireless technology based on the Bluetooth Smart function.

The transmitted data can be used simultaneously by one, two or more solar charger(s) connected to the same 12 V, 24 V or 48 V battery bank. The Smart Network is set up using the VictronConnect app.

Neat, simple - smart

Installation is simple, quick and neat. Simply attach the two cable lugs of the device to the battery connections and mount the Smart Battery Sense device directly on the battery with its self-adhesive strip.
