Votronic Solar Charge Controller MPPT 360 CI 1723

Votronic Solar Controller MPPT 360 CI 1723 – up to 360 Wp for efficient charging in vehicles

The Votronic Solar Controller MPPT 360 CI 1723 is the latest generation of CI-Bus MPPT charge controllers and the official successor to the previous version. It connects your solar panels to the onboard battery and ensures that you convert the solar power into charging current as effectively as possible – ideal for motorhomes, caravans, boats or off-grid 12-V solar systems with up to 360 Wp.

MPPT technology: more yield from the solar panel, especially in changing conditions

The controller uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). It continuously tracks the optimal operating point of the solar panels so that the available solar yield can be utilized to the best possible extent. Excess panel voltage is “converted” into additional charging current for the battery using highly efficient switching regulator technology – this means shorter charging times and better utilization of your solar system in practice.

CI-Bus connection: display data centrally and keep an eye on solar performance

The CI-Bus connection allows relevant values to be conveniently transmitted to central vehicle displays. An additional measurement output for EBL is available to use existing solar power displays in the electrical block to monitor the system.

Suitable for many battery types: 8 charge profiles incl. LiFePO4

To ensure the controller suits your system, 8 switchable charge profiles are available for lead, gel, AGM and LiFePO4. The “IU1oU2” charge profile provides a defined charging process including maintenance charging and supports battery- and cell-friendly charging.

Two charging outputs: charge the onboard battery and support the starter battery

The MPPT 360 CI charges the main supply battery (12 V) and also offers a second output for support charging/maintenance charging of the starter battery (with overcharge protection). This is particularly useful if your vehicle is stationary for extended periods or if many consumers are powered by the onboard battery.

Practical additional functions for vehicle operation

• AES switching output: Can automatically switch refrigerators from gas to 12-V operation when there is a continuous solar surplus
• Parallel/buffer operation: Adheres to charging specifications even when consumers are active at the same time
• Overcharge protection: Reduces the charging current when the battery is full and solar power is high, and automatically recharges when power is consumed
• Onboard network filter: Supports trouble-free parallel operation with alternators, mains chargers, generators, etc.
• Temperature sensor connection: A temperature sensor is mandatory when the lithium profile is selected
