Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 12V DC 20A 3-Bank Battery Charger - Dry Mount with Bluetooth

Blue Smart IP22 12VDC 20A 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.

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 Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger offers professional-grade charging with advanced Bluetooth connectivity, suitable for workshop use and various vehicles including cars, motorbikes, boats, and camper-vans. This versatile charger features a microprocessor-controlled adaptive 6-stage charging algorithm that automatically adjusts based on the battery's condition, ensuring optimal charging and extending battery life. The built-in Bluetooth allows wireless monitoring of voltage and current, as well as remote configuration and firmware updates via a compatible app, providing convenience and control at your fingertips.
The high-efficiency design achieves up to 94% efficiency, generating significantly less heat compared to industry standards and reducing power consumption to as low as 0.5 Watts when fully charged. Its intelligent storage mode minimizes maintenance and prevents battery aging by reducing float voltage to 13.2V after 24 hours of inactivity, with weekly equalization to prevent stratification and sulfation. This feature is especially beneficial for batteries not in regular use, ensuring longevity and reliability.
This charger is compatible with lead-acid and Li-ion batteries, employing a straightforward bulk, absorption, and float charging process for Li-ion models. The fully discharged battery recovery function is capable of reactivating batteries that have been completely drained, including those with internal disconnects. For quieter operation during nighttime or low-power settings, the NIGHT and LOW modes reduce output current by up to 50%, with NIGHT mode automatically switching off after 8 hours and LOW mode ending manually.
Safety features include thermal protection that reduces current if the temperature exceeds 50°C, preventing overheating without failure. The charger’s status is clearly indicated via eleven LEDs, representing stages such as TEST, BULK, ABSORPTION, RECONDITION, FLOAT, STORAGE, AND READY, with mode options for NORMAL, HIGH, RECONDITION, and LI-ION. Designed for durability and ease of use, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is an excellent choice for maintaining batteries in various applications, ensuring reliable performance and extended battery lifespan.
