The Blue Smart IP22 Charger by Victron Energy is a high-efficiency battery charger designed for both 12V and 24V systems, available in single-output and three-output configurations. It features integrated Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to monitor and control the charger remotely via the VictronConnect app.
- High Efficiency: Achieves up to 94% efficiency, generating significantly less heat compared to industry standards.
- Adaptive 6-Stage Charging Algorithm: Includes Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Standby stages, optimizing the charging process based on battery usage.
- Standby Mode: Activates after 24 hours of inactivity, reducing float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion, and periodically raises voltage to prevent battery aging.
- Lithium-Ion Battery Compatibility: Supports charging of LiFePO₄ batteries using a simplified bulk-absorption-float algorithm.
- NIGHT and LOW Settings: Reduces output current to 25% of nominal and operates silently in NIGHT mode, which ends automatically after 8 hours; LOW mode can be manually stopped.
- Overheating Protection: Automatically reduces output current if the temperature exceeds 50°C, preventing damage.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Allows remote monitoring and control via the VictronConnect app, providing access to status information, charge history, and firmware updates.
