Votronic Solar Charge Controller MPP 170 CI

Votronic solar charge controller MPP 170 CI

The Votronic solar charge controller MPP 170 CI is ideal for solar modules with a maximum output of 170Wp, a module current of up to 10A and a module voltage of a maximum of 60V.

It offers two charging outputs: The main charging output charges lead-acid, gel, AGM and modern lithium LiFePO4 batteries. The second charging output is used to trickle charge the starter battery.

The Votronic MPP solar controllers are specially developed for motorhomes, caravans and boats and act as a link between the solar module(s) and battery(s).
 

Votronic MPP 170 CI - functions and advantages

Increased charging efficiency
Modern microprocessor technology increases the charging current by 10% to 30% (efficiency > 95%) compared to conventional controllers, which is particularly advantageous in cool temperatures and diffuse lighting.

Flexible charging
Suitable for lead-gel, lead-AGM, lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries, as well as for connected consumers.

Safe charging voltage
Peak-free charging voltage prevents the batteries from being overcharged.

Two charging outputs
Main charging output for the on-board battery and trickle charge (max. 1 A) for the starter battery with overcharging protection.

Automatic protection functions
Protection against overload, overheating, reverse polarity and battery reverse discharge.

Parallel and buffer operation
Compliance with charging regulations even when used by consumers at the same time.

Overcharging protection
Automatic adjustment of the charging current when the battery is full, immediate recharging when power is consumed.

IU1oU2 charging characteristic
Prevents harmful acid layers and ensures equal charging of the battery cells.

Charging cable compensation
Automatic compensation of voltage losses on the charging cables.

On-board network filter
Compatible with wind and motor generators, mains chargers and alternators.

CI bus connection
Display of all relevant data on a central vehicle display.

Measuring output for EBL
Allows you to use a built-in solar power display to control the system.

Battery temperature sensor connection
Adjustment of the charging voltage to the battery temperature to optimize charging/protection of the battery at different temperatures.

Ready to plug in for solar display devices
Compatible with the Votronic LCD solar computers for optimal system control.
