Frequently Asked Questions
Is this indicator panel compatible with Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries?
No. The LED voltage thresholds are calibrated specifically for 12V Lead-Acid battery chemistry (AGM, Gel, and Wet cell). Lithium batteries maintain a higher voltage curve, so the LED indicators will not accurately reflect a lithium battery’s State of Charge.
Which chargers plug directly into this panel?
This panel features a proprietary connector designed to pair directly with Victron Blue Smart IP65 Chargers (up to 12V 15A ratings).
How much power does the panel draw when connected?
The internal circuit draws an ultra-low current to power the LEDs, ensuring it will not drain a healthy battery bank during normal standby periods.
