Victron Blue Smart IP22 12VDC 15A Battery Charger with Bluetooth - Dry Mount

Blue Smart IP22 12VDC 15A 1 Bank 120V Charger - Dry Mount

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the professional battery charger with built-in bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats and camper-vans.

Bluetooth Smart

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger when new features become available.

High efficiency

With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0,5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm: test - bulk absorption - recondition float storage

The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor-controlled adaptive battery management. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Storage Mode: less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for a 12V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to equalize the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Also charges Li-ion batteries

Li-ion batteries are charged with a simple bulk absorption float algorithm.

Fully discharged battery recovery function

Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

NIGHT and LOW setting

When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 50% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually.

Protected against overheating

Output current will reduce as the temperature increases up to 50C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.

Eleven LEDs for status indication

Charge algorithm: TEST / BULK / ABSORPTION / RECONDITION / FLOAT / STORAGE / READY. MODE button to set: NORMAL (14,4V) / HIGH (14,7V) / RECONDITION / LI-ION.

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a professional-grade battery charging solution designed for versatile applications including workshop equipment, classic cars, motorcycles, boats, and camper-vans. Featuring a built-in Bluetooth interface, this charger allows wireless monitoring of voltage and current, configuration adjustments, and firmware updates via compatible devices, ensuring ease of use and optimal battery management.

Engineered for high efficiency, the Blue Smart IP22 achieves up to 94% efficiency, generating significantly less heat compared to traditional chargers. When the battery reaches full charge, power consumption drops to just 0.5 watts, making it an energy-efficient choice. The unit employs an adaptive six-stage charging algorithm—testing, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage—that is microprocessor-controlled to dynamically optimize the charging process based on battery usage patterns, extending battery life and performance.

For batteries not in use, the charger's storage mode reduces float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion, with a weekly reconditioning cycle to prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation—common causes of premature battery failure. The charger also supports lithium-ion batteries through a simplified bulk, absorption, and float charging approach, making it suitable for a range of battery chemistries. In the event of a fully discharged battery, including those discharged to zero volts, the recovery function automatically initiates recovery procedures, reconnecting to internal disconnect-equipped Li-ion batteries if needed.

Additional features include NIGHT and LOW modes, which reduce output current to 50% for silent operation during nighttime or low-power applications. NIGHT mode automatically terminates after 8 hours, while LOW mode can be manually ended. The charger is protected against overheating; as temperature rises up to 122°F (50°C), output current decreases to prevent failure, ensuring reliable operation in various environments. Eleven LEDs provide clear status indication, displaying modes such as TEST, BULK, ABSORPTION, RECONDITION, FLOAT, STORAGE, and READY, with mode selection options for NORMAL, HIGH, RECONDITION, and LI-ION.

Compact and robust, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is suitable for dry mounting and is a dependable choice for maintaining optimal battery health across multiple applications.
