The VE.Bus Smart dongle is two products in one: First of all it is the Bluetooth accessory for our range of inverter/chargers: Multis, MultiPlusses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros, and our series of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect App to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes. Secondly it can work as a Voltage- and Temperature-sense device for the inverter/charger. This works with all models. For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are a step too far.
A question we get asked many times. So we've created a simple calculator to give you some idea of how long your battery will last off grid. It will take into consideration any solar panels you've installed, 12v and 240v usage. Based on the information provided it will recommend a battery size and estimate the number of days use.
