Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 12A Battery Charger with Bluetooth and Dry Mount

Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 12A 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

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a versatile and efficient professional-grade battery charger designed for various applications, including workshop use, classic cars, motorcycles, boats, and camper-vans. Featuring built-in Bluetooth connectivity, this charger allows wireless monitoring of voltage and current, remote setting adjustments, and firmware updates via a compatible device, providing convenience and advanced control for users. Its compact aluminum enclosure with an IP22 protection rating ensures durability and safety during operation. The charger's high efficiency of up to 94% significantly reduces heat generation and power consumption, making it an energy-conscious choice for long-term use. Its intelligent 6-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimizes the process through test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage modes, tailored to extend battery life and maintain optimal performance.

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is equipped with a storage mode that minimizes maintenance and aging when the battery hasn't been discharged for over 24 hours. During storage mode, the float voltage is lowered to reduce gassing and corrosion, with periodic reconditioning to prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation—common causes of early battery failure. It also supports charging of Li-ion batteries using a simplified bulk, absorption, and float algorithm, ensuring compatibility with modern battery technologies. An advanced recovery function enables the charger to revive batteries that have been fully discharged to zero volts, including Li-ion types with internal disconnects.

Additional features include NIGHT and LOW modes, where the output current is reduced to a maximum of 50%, operating noiselessly and suitable for nighttime or low-power scenarios. The charger includes eleven LEDs for detailed status indication, covering phases such as test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, and ready states, with modes adjustable via a dedicated button. Overheating protection automatically reduces current if the ambient temperature exceeds 122°F, preventing failure. With a single output and various safety protections—such as reverse polarity fuse, short circuit, and over-temperature safeguards—this charger ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. Its compact size and robust aluminum casing make it suitable for a wide range of uses, supported by compliance with international safety and emission standards. For detailed installation and operation instructions, refer to the available owner’s manual online.
