It plugs straight into a UK BS 1363 socket and is controlled through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, with no extra dongle needed. It suits workshop, vehicle, marine and off-grid battery maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of the Victron Blue Smart charger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge current\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15A for 12V battery banks, suitable for batteries from around 30Ah to 300Ah depending on chemistry and condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth control\u003c\/strong\u003e, full configuration and real-time monitoring via VictronConnect on iOS and Android, no separate interface cable required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress protection\u003c\/strong\u003e, IP22, protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and direct water spray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge algorithm\u003c\/strong\u003e, seven-stage adaptive process covering bulk, absorption, float, storage and equalisation, with selectable settings for GEL, AGM, flooded lead-acid and LiFePO4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to limit battery degradation during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature compensation\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjusts charge voltage to ambient conditions when used with an optional temperature sensor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than following a fixed time-based cycle, the charger reads the actual condition of the battery and applies the appropriate stage. The equalisation stage, for flooded lead-acid batteries, helps recover stratified or sulphated cells when applied periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictronConnect lets an installer select the correct algorithm for the battery chemistry, set absorption time, enable or disable equalisation and watch the charge state update live from a phone or tablet. That makes commissioning and fault-finding on site much quicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP22 makes it suitable for engine bays, bilge areas, garages and similar sheltered spaces where some moisture is possible. It should not be mounted where it will be rained on directly or submerged.

Connect the DC output leads with correct polarity and make sure battery terminals are clean and secure before use. Choose the right charge algorithm for your battery chemistry in VictronConnect before first use. For fixed vehicle, marine or off-grid installations, wiring to battery busbars or distribution should be done by a competent electrician or qualified marine engineer. Do not install where exposed to direct rainfall or standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095393825056,"sku":"BPC121542022","price":99.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-bpc121542022-1.webp?v=1785748282","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-blue-smart-charger-12-15","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
