Victron Energy Battery Balancer

Product Information

Flat batteries are everyone’s worst nightmare, but with the Van Bitz Battery Master – Advanced Battery Balancer – they should be a thing of the past. You can now easily charge your engine battery from mains hook-up with the Van Bitz Battery Master. Our specially designed, fully waterproof, resin-bonded product will monitor the engine and the leisure batteries constantly and whenever the engine battery needs a ‘boost’, Battery Master allows a safe and regulated controlled charge. Although none of the items mentioned above draws very much current it is, however small, and significant over a period of time. Add to this the fact that a lead acid battery (conventional type) will naturally lose power when left. Under normal operation, discharging must stop when any cell first runs out of charge even though other cells may still hold significant charge. Likewise, charging must stop when any cell reaches its maximum safe charging voltage. Failure to do either may cause permanent damage to the cells, or in extreme cases, may drive cells into reverse polarity, cause internal gassing, thermal runaway, or other catastrophic failures. If the cells are not balanced, such that the high and low cutoff are at least aligned with the state of the lowest capacity cell, the energy that can be taken from and returned to the battery will be limited. The battery balancer equalizes at all stages of the battery’s operation. Including charging period, discharge period, recovery period, and static period of balance, while some other products can only balance the charge and discharge (like Victron Balancer). Battery Balancer is designed and offers by ZHCSolar Inc, there are two series balancers available, one is HA Series, in the HA Series, it has HA03 96V Balancer, HA02 48V Balancer and HA01 24V Balancer listed, the HA Series is support Lipo and Lead Acid Battery Balancing.

The working current of the battery balancer is less than 1 milliampere, the power consumption of standby is only a few milliwatts, and most of the time it is in standby monitoring state. For large capacity power batteries, the power consumption is almost negligible, which will not affect the battery, conversely, the special electric pulse will increase the battery life. How does a battery balancer work? a) at the end of the bulk phase during charging (the voltage of well charged cells will increase rapidly while lagging cells still need more charging) Any repair or tampering by an unauthorised person or attempt to repair or tamper with the equipment, or use of parts not supplied by authorised agents, or alterations or modification to the equipment shall render the warranty null and void. So in short, my question is: Do I need a battery balancer to balance batteries which are connected in parallel? When the number of batteries connected in series is 2 or more, it can be connected and equalized. How many batteries can be equalized by the equalizer at most? Is the wiring complicated?

Design & development resources

It can be used for super capacitor groups composed of the same type and the same nominal capacity super capacitors in series. What is the battery configuration? What is the state of charge? This is why it is important to monitor midpoint voltages and correct any imbalance, to ensure the best performance and longevity of battery strings and banks; be they 24 V, 48 V or sometimes higher voltages. In Line 3, the algorithm uses a 100 mV threshold as the allowed maximum voltage difference between any two cells as this deviation between any two cells will be typical for fully-charged battery cells that come off a manufacturing line. This value is also used in other battery balancing algorithms. Physically larger battery cells that output higher voltages can expect to see a ~1 V difference between cells. The battery balancer connects to each battery in parallel in a special way and controls all the batteries in real-time by detecting the voltage of each battery so that the voltages of all batteries become equal or similar. Is the power consumption of the equalizer large? Does it affect battery life?

Note: during the charging, if a set of batteries is overcharged for a long time, there is a risk of fire.

Question: Does this mean that I could leave my van for longer in the winter without the fear of a flat engine battery?

The Battery Balancer equalizes the state of charge of two series connected 12V batteries, or of several parallel strings of series connected batteries. Earlier this year the new BMV 700 series of battery monitors were launched. Amongst the many new features is the ability, with the BMV-702 model, to monitor midpoint voltage deviation. It is important to note that Victron Energy rate their inverters in Volt Amps (VA). The datasheets do also state the wattage of each inverter. the battery equalizer is parallel connected to each battery cell, does not change the original equipment charging circuit and discharge circuit, it won’t affect the original equipment circuit. How to Wire Battery Balancer Answer: Yes. It is designed so that when the engine battery drops half a volt below the leisure battery, Battery Master automatically adjusts the charge and tops up the engine battery.Embedded systems designers, power systems designers, and engineers in other fields can develop and qualify all aspects of system functionality with the complete set of system analysis tools from Cadence. Only Cadence offers a comprehensive set of circuit, IC, and PCB design tools for any application and any level of complexity. The Victron Energy Battery Balancer equalizes the state of charge of two series connected 12V batteries, or of several parallel strings of series connected batteries. When the charge voltage of a 24V battery system increases to more than 27V, the Battery Balancer will turn on and compare the voltage over the two series connected batteries. The Battery Balancer will draw a current of up to 1A from the battery (or parallel connected batteries) with the highest voltage. The resulting charge current differential will ensure that all batteries will converge to the same state of charge.

Once the battery is used, the work environment, such as temperature, charge and discharge current value generally stays in constant, the biggest influence factor on the battery is charging and discharging voltage, the two most harmful state of battery are overcharge and over-discharge, once the battery is in those state for a long time, the battery will be irreversible damaged, the capacity and performance is reduced, or batteries become dead. Over-discharging and overcharging are the two biggest killers of batteries. With the advent of the BMV-702 and the new Battery Balancer, there is now a comprehensive solution to monitoring and maintaining your batteries, in tip-top condition. Note that both products can be used individually if on a budget, however using both gives the most insight and control.
