Introduction
The VE.Bus Smart dongle is a Bluetooth Smart enabled VE.Bus interface, with battery temperature-
and-voltage sensing. It communicates system information straight to your smart phone - using the
free-to-use VictronConnect app.
When used with Multi- inverter/chargers the dongle provides on-battery temperature and voltage
sensing capabilities - allowing compensation for possible cable losses which can occur during charging
and discharging. Temperature sensing allows accurate temperature-compensation during battery
charge cycles. On MultiPlus-II models the dongle is, at present, the only way to add an “on-battery”
sensing capability.
