Victron 150|100 Review and Test - For Beginners!

Описание: In this video, I do a comprehensive review and test of the Victron 150|100 SmartSolar charge controller with Bluetooth.

This video is intended for beginners, so I have explained everything in detail. I show how to connect the battery and PV array to the charge controller. I also show how to calculate the max PV input power for the unit.

For testing, we will charge a 12V, 24V and 48V battery with the same unit and then show a side-by-side comparison while explaining how input volts are related to charge amps output.

I also cover installing the optional display as well as show how to configure the battery type or charge profile. Clipping and Over paneling are topics also covered in this video. Victron allows for up to 30% Over paneling and I show how the unit deals with it.
