Smart Battery Sense Long Range (Up to 10M)
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. The dongle is, at present, the only way to add an on-battery sensing capability to the MultiPlus-II models, if they are not also connected to a GX device and CANbus battery.
The dongle can be used in systems with or without a GX device - such as the CCGX. In systems with a GX device, and another source of temperature and voltage data (eg from a CANbus battery), the CCGX data will override temperature and voltage information from the dongle. In this role the dongle will still provide live-information via its VictronConnect interface; and it will provide firmware updates without requiring an internet connection.
When the dongle is used in systems which do not have a GX device, the dongle's voltage and temperature data becomes the primary source of that information, and can be used by other connected devices for voltage compensation.
In systems with a Multiplus-II, dongle and GX device, but no other source of temperature and voltage, the data from the dongle will also be used.
At this time, the VE.Bus Smart dongle cannot send its temperature and voltage data as part of a VE.Smart network.
The VE.Bus Smart dongle is able to sense battery temperature in two ways: The default method is the dongle's on-board temperature sensor. When the dongle is mounted directly onto the battery case (using its adhesive attachment) it will sense the battery temperature directly from the battery casing. The second method - which provides improved battery temperature sensing - is available by using an optional battery-terminal mounted sensor. When this sensor is connected, the default sensor is overridden and the dongle will use this method instead.

The Victron Energy SBS050150200 Smart Battery Sense Long Range is a Bluetooth Smart-enabled VE.Bus interface designed for accurate battery temperature and voltage monitoring. This device communicates directly with your smartphone via the free VictronConnect app, providing real-time system data and firmware updates even without an internet connection. It is compatible with Multi- inverter/chargers, enabling precise temperature compensation during charging cycles and helping to mitigate cable loss effects during battery discharge and recharge processes. The long-range capability of up to 10 meters ensures flexible placement within your system setup, offering convenience and reliable data transmission.
The Smart Battery Sense can be used independently or integrated into systems with other Victron components such as GX devices or CCGX. When connected to a GX device, system data from other sources like CANbus batteries can override the dongle’s readings, yet it continues to deliver live updates and firmware management through VictronConnect. In systems lacking a GX device, the dongle becomes the primary source for battery voltage and temperature information, which can then be used by other connected system devices for optimal voltage regulation. It is also compatible with MultiPlus-II models, providing essential sensing capabilities when no other temperature or voltage data sources are available.
This device can sense battery temperature using its built-in sensor, which is mounted directly onto the battery case with an adhesive, or via an optional battery-terminal sensor for improved accuracy. The latter overrides the default sensor, offering enhanced temperature measurement for better system regulation. Included with the product are connection wires with inline fuses, a connector block, and mounting accessories, ensuring easy installation and reliable operation. Designed for versatility, the Victron Smart Battery Sense Long Range supports a wide range of battery management applications, improving system efficiency and lifespan through precise data collection and monitoring.
