It fits a standard UK BS 1363 socket and is built to IP65, so it copes with damp or dusty conditions where a standard IP20 charger would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65-rated enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suited to workshop, garage or outdoor-sheltered use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth built-in\u003c\/strong\u003e, monitor and configure via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android with no extra hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple battery chemistries\u003c\/strong\u003e, supports AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdaptive 7-stage charging\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjusts the charge profile automatically through bulk, absorption, float and storage modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, lowers voltage to reduce degradation during long-term storage, with a monthly reconditioning cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle 5A output\u003c\/strong\u003e, suited to 12V batteries in motorcycles, leisure vehicles, boats and backup systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVictron blue smart charger operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce connected, the charger reads the battery state and picks the right charge phase. Absorption time varies with how deeply the battery was discharged, avoiding the over- or under-charging that fixed-time chargers can cause. The VictronConnect app gives real-time voltage and current readings and lets you pick a battery preset or build a custom profile, useful when the charger sits somewhere awkward to inspect, like a locker or under a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorcycle, scooter and ATV battery maintenance and charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeisure battery top-up in caravans, campervans and motorhomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine auxiliary battery charging on small boats and RIBs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-term storage charging for seasonal vehicles and equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackup battery systems in small off-grid or UPS applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictron Blue Smart IP65 12\/5 charger with integrated UK BS 1363 mains plug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC output lead with ring terminals and crocodile clips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuns from a standard 230V UK mains socket with no specialist electrical work needed. Match the battery voltage and chemistry to the correct charge profile before use, and select the lithium preset in VictronConnect for LiFePO4 batteries, since charge voltages differ from lead-acid. The IP65 rating tolerates splashing, condensation and dust, but the charger should not be submerged or left in continuously wet environments. For permanent wiring into a larger system, use a qualified electrician or accredited installer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52061065675040,"sku":"BPC120533024R","price":65.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-bpc120533024r-1.webp?v=1785510637","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-blue-smart-charger-12-5","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
