Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 8A 1 Bank 120V Charger - Dry Mount
The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a 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, change settings, and 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 watts, 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 for 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 bulkabsorptionfloat 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 an 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

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger model BPC240845102 is a professional-grade battery charger designed for versatile use in workshops and on motor vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, boats, and camper-vans. Featuring built-in Bluetooth connectivity, this charger allows wireless monitoring of voltage and current, adjustment of settings, and firmware updates via a smartphone or compatible device. Its intelligent features help optimize battery health and charge efficiency, making it an ideal choice for both professional and personal applications. The high efficiency of up to 94% ensures minimal heat generation and energy waste, while the low power consumption of just 0.5 watts when idle contributes to energy savings and environmental sustainability. The charger incorporates a sophisticated 6-stage adaptive charge algorithm—testing, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage—that dynamically adjusts to the battery's condition, ensuring optimal charging performance and extending battery lifespan.
An innovative storage mode automatically activates when the battery remains discharged for over 24 hours, reducing float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion, and periodically reconditioning the battery to prevent stratification and sulfation. This feature significantly reduces maintenance needs and aging effects when the battery is not in use. The Victron Blue Smart charger is also compatible with lithium-ion batteries, employing a simple bulk-absorption-float charging cycle suitable for these batteries. Its fully discharged battery recovery function can restore even batteries that have been drained to zero volts, including lithium types with internal disconnects, ensuring reliable operation in emergency situations.
Additional operational modes include NIGHT and LOW settings, which reduce output current to a maximum of 50% and operate noiselessly, making them suitable for nighttime or quiet environments. The NIGHT mode automatically terminates after 8 hours, while the LOW mode can be manually ended. The charger is protected against overheating, with the output current decreasing as the temperature rises up to 122°F (50°C), preventing failure and extending device lifespan. Eleven LEDs provide detailed status updates, displaying the current step of the charging process and allowing mode adjustments such as NORMAL, HIGH, RECONDITION, or LI-ION. Built with a durable aluminium enclosure in Victron’s signature blue color, the charger features screw terminals for secure battery connection and a 1.5-meter power cable with European, UK, or Australian plugs.
Certified to meet multiple safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, the Blue Smart IP22 charger is suitable for a wide range of operating conditions, from -20°C to +50°C, with an IP22 protection rating for dry mounting environments.
