Product Description

Victron Blue IP65 Smart Charger 12/5 + DC Connector, 5 year warranty. The Blue Smart IP65 Charger is the new professional battery charger with built-in bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP65 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats and camper-vans.

The battery is charged, smartly... to perfect condition:

The seven-step charging algorithm gets the best out of your battery. The charger gives the battery the power it needs, maintains its health, ensures better performance... and a longer life.

Recovery of deeply-discharged 'dead' batteries:

Unlike other brands, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger will attempt to recharge a deeply-discharged battery by force-feeding it with a low current. Normal charging will then be resumed as soon as there is sufficient voltage across the battery terminals.

Connect the battery with ease:

The charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets - making it easy to connect to the battery. If you wish, you can leave it permanently connected.

Check the status of your battery remotely:

The Blue Smart IP65 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app.

Ultra high efficiency “green” battery charger:

With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four timesless heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0,5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Durable, safe and silent:

Low thermal stress on the electronic components.
Protection against ingress of dust, water and chemicals.
Protection against overheating: the output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.
The chargers are totally silent: no cooling fan or any other moving parts.

Reconditioning:

A lead-acid battery that has been insufficiently charged or has been left discharged during days or weeks will deteriorate due to sulfa-tion. If caught in time, sulfation can sometimes be partially reversed by charging the battery with low current up to a higher voltage.

Recovery function for fully discharged batteries:

Most reverse polarity protected chargers will not recognize, and therefore not recharge a battery which has been discharged to zero or nearly zero Volts. The Blue Smart Charger however will attempt to recharge a fully discharged battery with low current and resume normal charging once sufficient voltage has developed across the battery terminals.

Product Q&A

Ask Us a Question

What size battery charger do I need for my lead acid battery I have in my camper?

A good battery charger rule of thumb for charging a lead acid battery, is using a charger with output current (amps) of 10-20% of the battery total stored capacity (Ah).

So, for example if the battery is 12V 100Ah, the charger need to be minimum of 10A and maximum of 20A. Often splitting the difference at 15% (so a 12V ~15A charger) is a good option. Happy charging!
Hi, this suitable for 170ah LiFePo4 battery?Your spec sheet notes the 25A charger for 15Ah. Does that mean it would not ever reach full capacity?

Hi There

It is recommended to use a charger that is about 30% the capacity of the battery you are chargin when it comes to lithium batteries.

You could use this charger, it would just take a long time.
