• Output, 12V 5A with a multi-stage adaptive algorithm covering bulk, absorption and float phases.
• Battery compatibility, GEL, AGM, flooded lead-acid and lithium LiFePO4 types.
• Mains plug, CEE 7/17, compatible with standard European and UK Schuko-type sockets.
• Weight, 0.647 kg, compact enough for portable use.

Product overview

The sealed, splash-resistant housing allows mounting in engine bays, lockers or outdoor enclosures without concern over moisture. It tolerates condensation and incidental water exposure, but should not be submerged or left standing in water.

VictronConnect gives real-time charge status, history and battery type configuration, which is handy when the charger sits somewhere awkward to reach, such as under a seat. At 5A output, it suits batteries in the region of 14Ah to 100Ah depending on charge time expectations. The adaptive algorithm adjusts absorption time to the battery's condition, reducing the risk of overcharging a battery that is already part charged.

Applications

Used for maintaining and charging 12V batteries in campervans, motorhomes and caravans; on boats where moisture resistance matters; for seasonal upkeep of motorcycles, classic vehicles and garden machinery; and in off-grid cabins or small solar setups needing a mains-powered backup charger.
