Theoretical Max Charge Current with PWM: (Power Panels) / (Voltage Panels) = 320W / 18.5V = 17.3A.The maximum charging current we have ever seen with the Bogart is 16 amps within one week after installing the Victron we observed up to 24A charging current! And this is using the exact same setup (battery, solar panels, etc.) except for the charge controller… impressive, but that make sense:.While we cannot quantify the exact improvements (we would have to setup 2 systems simultaneously with the exact same panel size and orientation, same battery type and size, same SOC, etc.), we immediately noticed some improvements: We upgraded from a Bogart SC-2030 PWM to the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100|30 charge controller. This is easily adjusted via a Smartphone on the VictronConnect app: Easy Breezy Setup!

We already mentioned we love the built-in Bluetooth & app, here’s why: 1- Easy to Setupĭifferent battery type (AGM, Lead Acid, etc) requires different charging profile.

What we Like about Victron Simplier, Sexier Now, does it perform better than our previous Bogart Engineering SC-2030 PWM charger? Yes. While it’s not essential, we really enjoy these features and we feel Victron Energy’s technology is cutting edge. Upgrading our camper van electrical system with Victron Energy Smart Solar MPPT Charge Controller and Smart Battery Monitor was a very smart move (no puns intended) and we wish we’ve done that earlier! With built-in Bluetooth and VictronConnect app, it’s possible to setup both devices on a Smartphone (Android or iPhone) via an intuitive graphic interface, sweeeeet! Once the system is up and running, VictronConnect app enables to monitor real-time status and historical data about the system performance.
