Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/12

Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/12

Features

• 12A smart battery charger
• Built-in Bluetooth with VictronConnect app
• Suitable for 24 V systems
  
• Compatible with AGM, gel, flooded, and lithium batteries
  
• Cabling & Quick-Fit connectors included
• Multi-stage charging
• Recovery of fully discharged batteries
• Battery reconditioning
• Waterproof

The Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger is the new professional battery charger with built-in Bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars, motorbikes, boats and camper vans.

Recovery Function for Fully Discharged Batteries

Most reverse polarity-protected chargers will not recognise, and therefore not recharge, a battery that 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.

The Battery is Charged, Smartly and 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, and ensures better performance... and a longer life.

Bluetooth Smart Enabled

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, change settings and update the charger when new features become available. With Bluetooth, the functionality of the IP67 charger is enhanced and is similar to that of our IP22 and IP65 chargers.

Completely Encapsulated: Waterproof, Shockproof and Ignition Protected

Water, oil or dirt will not damage the Blue Smart IP67 Charger. The casing is made of cast aluminium, and the electronics are moulded in resin.

The Highest Efficiency Ever

Setting a new industry standard: With 92% efficiency or better, these chargers waste three to four times less heat. Once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 5-stage Charge Algorithm: Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage

The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor-controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Storage Mode: Less Maintenance and Ageing When the Battery is Not in Use

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge for 24 hours. In the storage mode, float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalise’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Also Charges Li-ion (LiFePO₄) Batteries

LiFePO₄ batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption – float algorithm.

Protected Against Overheating

Can be used in a hot environment, such as a machine room. Output current will reduce as the temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.
