Victron Blue Smart IP22 24V DC 16A 3 Bank Battery Charger with Bluetooth - Dry Mount

Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 16A 3 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.

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger utilizes an efficient 6-stage adaptive charging algorithm—comprising test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage modes—that optimizes battery health and lifespan. The microprocessor-controlled management system automatically adjusts the charging process based on the battery's condition and usage patterns, providing an intelligent solution that reduces maintenance needs and prevents premature battery failure. When batteries are not in use for over 24 hours, the storage mode reduces gassing and corrosion by lowering float voltage, while periodic equalization ensures electrolyte stratification and sulfation are minimized, extending battery longevity.
This charger supports charging of both lead-acid and Li-ion batteries, employing tailored algorithms for each chemistry to ensure safe and effective recharging. It can recover batteries that have been fully discharged, even down to zero volts, and reconnects with internally disconnected Li-ion batteries, making it highly reliable for a range of battery types. Additionally, the NIGHT and LOW modes allow for reduced current output—up to 50%—to facilitate noiseless operation during nighttime or low-demand scenarios, with automatic or manual termination options. Overheating protection ensures continued operation even in high ambient temperatures, reducing the risk of failure.
Equipped with eleven LEDs for status indication, the charger provides clear visual feedback on various operational stages, including testing, bulk, absorption, reconditioning, float, storage, and readiness. The MODE button allows customization, including setting voltages for normal, high, recondition, and Li-ion modes.
