Description

The Victron Blue Smart 12V IP65 Charger

Experience unparalleled precision and convenience in charging LiFePO4 batteries with the Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger. Crafted to cater to the demands of workshop enthusiasts and individuals working with vehicle motors, this portable charger is the epitome of advanced technology and reliability. 

Unlike other brands, the Victron IP65 Charger will attempt to recharge a deeply-discharged battery by force-feeding it with a low current. Normal charging will then be resumed as soon as there is sufficient voltage across the battery terminals. This is especially critical for LiFePO4 batteries with internal BMS units that require charge current to re-activate the BMS when in a fully-discharged state.

The charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets – making it easy to connect to the battery. If you wish, you can leave it permanently connected. Additionally, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app.
