Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 12VDC 15A Battery Charger with Bluetooth and Dry Mounting

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 Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a professional-grade battery charger designed for versatile use on workshop equipment and vehicles, including classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and camper-vans. Equipped with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, it allows wireless monitoring of voltage and current, setting adjustments, and firmware updates via a smartphone or compatible device. This feature enhances user convenience and ensures optimal charging management without physical access to the unit.

Engineered for high efficiency, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger achieves up to 94% efficiency, generating significantly less heat compared to standard chargers. Its low power consumption in standby mode, at just 0.5 watts, makes it energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The charger employs a microprocessor-controlled, adaptive six-stage charging algorithm—testing, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage—to dynamically optimize the charging process based on the battery’s condition and usage. This ensures fast, safe, and complete charging cycles, extending battery life and performance.

In addition to standard lead-acid batteries, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 can also charge lithium-ion batteries using a simple bulk, absorption, and float charging method. It features a recovery function that can revive batteries that have been fully discharged, even down to zero volts, with internal disconnect capabilities for Li-ion batteries. The unit offers a storage mode that reduces float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion when the battery is not in use for over 24 hours. Weekly reconditioning helps prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation, reducing early battery failure risks.

For operation flexibility, the charger includes NIGHT and LOW modes. NIGHT mode limits output current to 50%, operates silently for up to 8 hours, and automatically ends, while LOW mode reduces current manually. Overheating protection automatically decreases output current if temperatures exceed 50°C, preventing failure. The device features eleven LEDs for clear status indication, displaying different charge stages such as test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, and ready. Mode selection options include normal, high, recondition, and Li-ion, offering tailored charging profiles for various battery types and conditions. Designed for dry mounting, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger combines advanced features, efficiency, and ease of use for professional and recreational applications alike.
