Technical

Maker status
Discontinued by Victron, replaced by SCC145120510

The SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/200-Tr is a Victron solar charge controller for 48 V battery banks. It takes a PV input of 65 to 450 V and has Bluetooth setup through the VictronConnect app, a front-panel display and VE.Can ports. Victron has discontinued this version and names SCC145120510 as the replacement. The RS range charges at either 100A or 200A.

Our take

A PV input of 65 to 450 V Voc lets this controller take a long series string of panels into a 48 V bank. Victron has ended this version and named SCC145120510 as its replacement, so look at that part for a new install.

From our buying guide

NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.

Check before you buy:

  • It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
