6. Monitoring
The charger operation and recharge statistics can be closely monitored live or post charging with a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet) using the VictronConnect app.
There are 3 different overview screens available (STATUS, GRAPH and HISTORY), each displaying different monitoring or historical data; spanning back over the last 40 charge cycles.
The desired screen can be selected by either selecting the window title or by swiping across between screens.
6.1. Status screen
The STATUS screen is the main overview screen; it displays the battery voltage, the charge current and the active charge stage.
This data will update continuously and in real time as the charge cycle progresses.
6.2. Graph screen
The GRAPH screen provides an easy to understand graphical representation of each charge stage with respect to battery voltage and charge current.
The active charge stage is also highlighted and stated below, along with a brief explanation.
6.3. History screen
The HISTORY screen is a very powerful reference as it contains historical usage data over the charger’s lifetime and detailed statistics for the last 40 charge cycles (even if the charge cycle is only partially completed).
By selecting the full screen view the data is displayed in landscape view with significantly more days visible at the same time.
Charge cycle statistics
