The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger is a single-output, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger rated at 24V / 13A, supplied with an AU/NZ mains plug. It suits trade and professional use where a weatherproof charger is needed for 24V battery systems in vehicles, marine craft or off-grid installations.

Key features of this battery charger

• Weight, 2.2 kg, practical for permanent fitting or portable use.

Product overview

The sealed IP65 housing suits engine bays, battery compartments, boat decks and outdoor plant rooms, locations where a standard indoor charger would be at risk. Bluetooth is built into the unit rather than bolted on. An installer can select battery type, adjust charge current and review charge status and history without a physical display on the charger.

The 7-stage algorithm adjusts to the battery's response during charging. Storage mode holds batteries at an optimal voltage during long inactivity, reducing sulphation without overcharging. The reconditioning stage can recover deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries that a simpler charger would reject.

Applications

Charging and maintaining 24V lead-acid or lithium battery banks in vehicles, trucks and plant equipment. Marine installations exposed to moisture and spray. Off-grid cabins, caravans and motorhomes running 24V systems. Workshop or site charging in partially exposed conditions, and battery maintenance during storage using the built-in storage and reconditioning modes.
