Additional specifications and description

Overview
As its name suggests, it is an optional accessory for the SHS 200 MPPT solar charge controller.
The Victron Battery Box for SHS 200 is a metal enclosure designed to house one or two 12 V batteries (depending on the model used).
The SHS 200 MPPT charge controller mounts to the top panel and is secured to the Battery Box with screws. The battery cables run through a cut-out in the panel, and a specially designed cover protects the battery connection terminals from tampering.
The product is a part of the Victron Smart Home System (SHS), when combined with suitable batteries and the SHS 200 MPPT solar charge controller, the result is a robust and highly integrated solution for off-grid camping.

Use case
The purpose of the enclosure is to protect the batteries and battery cables from accidental damage or unauthorised access.
Preventing tampering with the system is especially important for Pay-as-you-go providers.
If customers can access the battery or battery terminals directly, it would be possible for them to circumvent the rental service and use the system without paying.
Storing the batteries in a suitable enclosure and protecting the battery cables and terminals significantly enhances the safety of the photovoltaic system as a whole.
While primarily intended for Pay-as-you-go providers, end users can also benefit from the convenience of the Battery Box in their own off-grid photovoltaic systems.


Design and installation considerations
The Victron Battery Box for SHS 200 has a sturdy metal construction. The Battery Box is delivered in flat-pack packaging but is quick and easy to assemble.
The side panels are made from 1 mm thick sheet steel, while the vertical supporting profiles are made from extruded aluminium.
Please note that the Battery Box is not waterproof and does not provide additional ingress protection for the SHS system. The assembled enclosure has an IP rating of 21.
The product comes with all the necessary screws to assemble the enclosure, but note that the screws used to secure the SHS 200 MPPT come bundled with the controller instead.
The Battery Box packaging includes two warranty void stickers that can be applied to the top panel for additional protection against unauthorised access.
