Victron Energy BlueSmart IP67 Charger - 12 VDC, 17 Amp - Waterproof and Bluetooth Enabled

BlueSmart IP67 Charger - 12 VDC - 17AMP

Features:

• Bluetooth Smart enabled The Blue Smart IP67 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger when new features become available. With Bluetooth, the functionality of the IP67 charger is enhanced and is similar to that of our IP22 and IP65 chargers.
• Completely encapsulated: waterproof, shockproof and ignition protected Water, oil or dirt will not damage the Blue Smart IP67 Charger. The casing is made of cast aluminium and the electronics are moulded in resin.
• The highest efficiency ever! Setting a new industry standard: with 92% efficiency or better, these chargers waste three to four times less heat. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
• Adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm: 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 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V 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 sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.
• Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries LiFePO4 batteries are charged with a simple bulk absorption float algorithm.
• Protected against overheating Can be used in a hot environment such as a machine room. Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60C, but the charger will not fail.
• Two LEDs for status indication Yellow LED: bulk charge (blinking fast), absorption (blinking slow), float (solid), storage (off) Green LED: power on

The Victron Energy BlueSmart IP67 Charger is a highly reliable, waterproof 12-volt power solution designed for demanding environments. With a robust cast aluminum casing and resin-encapsulated electronics, this charger is shockproof, waterproof, and ignition protected, making it suitable for use in wet and dirty conditions without risk of damage. Its IP67 rating ensures complete protection against water and dust intrusion, ideal for marine, industrial, or outdoor applications. The charger is engineered for efficiency, boasting a peak efficiency of 92% or higher, which significantly reduces heat waste and power consumption. When the battery reaches full charge, power draw drops to less than one watt, enhancing overall energy savings and system performance.

Featuring a microprocessor-controlled adaptive five-stage charging algorithm—comprising bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage modes—the BlueSmart charger intelligently manages battery health based on usage patterns. The storage mode minimizes maintenance and aging during periods of inactivity by reducing float voltage, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfate buildup that can lead to early battery failure. Additionally, this charger is compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, applying a straightforward bulk, absorption, and float charging cycle tailored for these chemistries. The design includes overheating protection, allowing safe operation in high-temperature environments; output current will decrease as temperature rises up to 120°F, preventing damage without failing.

Wireless connectivity via Bluetooth Smart enhances the user experience, allowing remote monitoring of voltage and current, setting adjustments, and firmware updates. Status LEDs provide clear visual indicators of charging stages and power status, with a yellow LED signaling bulk, absorption, float, or storage modes, and a green LED indicating power on. This feature-rich charger combines durability, efficiency, and smart technology to ensure reliable battery management in a variety of settings.
