Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/25(1) 230V UK | BPC122547026

The Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/25 is a single-output 25A charger for 12V battery banks, built to IP67 standards so it is dustproof and waterproof to one metre. It plugs into a standard UK BS 1363 socket and pairs with the free VictronConnect app over Bluetooth for monitoring and setup.

Key features

• IP67 enclosure, dustproof and waterproof to 1 metre depth, suitable for wet or outdoor-adjacent installations.
• Charge current, 25A output for 12V battery banks.
• Bluetooth, built-in, works with the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
• Single output, one output, fitted with a UK BS 1363 mains plug for direct connection to a 230V socket.
• Charging algorithm, adaptive multi-stage charging that adjusts to battery condition.
• Battery compatibility, selectable profiles for AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) chemistries.
• Storage mode, maintains batteries at the right voltage during long periods of inactivity without overcharging.

Why the IP67 rating matters

Most chargers are meant for a workshop bench. This one is sealed against dust and splashing, so it can stay permanently mounted in a locker, engine bay or similar spot where damp or condensation is a real possibility. That makes it a practical fit for boats, motorhomes and static caravans where the charger lives with the installation rather than being plugged in and unplugged each time.

The 25A output suits a 12V bank of up to around 250Ah, and the bulk, absorption, float and storage stages let it stay connected indefinitely without risking overcharge. Charge profiles are set in VictronConnect, so the unit can be matched to AGM, Gel, flooded or lithium batteries without manually setting voltage thresholds.

Bluetooth is built in, not bolted on as an accessory. An installer can check charge status, review history and change settings from a phone without opening a panel or running extra cable. The app itself is free, with no account or subscription needed.

Applications

• Marine vessels: permanent fitting in wet lockers or engine compartments.
• Motorhomes and campervans: charging leisure batteries from shore power or a hook-up point.
• Static caravans and holiday lodges: keeping 12V banks maintained during low use.
• Off-grid cabins and outbuildings: charging from mains when it is available.
• Commercial vehicles and plant: maintaining starter or auxiliary batteries in storage.
• Standby power systems: float charging 12V batteries in UPS or backup setups.

Installation notes

The charger connects to a standard 230V UK socket via its fitted BS 1363 plug, with no hardwiring needed. DC connections to the battery should use appropriately rated cable and fusing in line with the battery maker's guidance. Check the charge profile matches the battery chemistry before first use, and for lithium (LiFePO4) confirm compatibility with the battery management system beforehand. The IP67 rating allows use in damp locations, but the unit should not be submerged while running. For larger off-grid or marine systems, installation by a qualified electrician or marine electrical engineer is recommended.
