Description

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/15 (3) is a compact 12 volt, 15 amp mains battery charger with three independent isolated outputs, ideal for charging a starter, service and bow thruster battery from a single unit aboard boats and campervans. Bluetooth is built in, so you can monitor voltage and current, adjust settings and update the firmware from the VictronConnect app on your phone.

An adaptive six stage charge algorithm (test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float and storage) manages charging automatically, tailoring it to how the battery is used and dropping into a low maintenance storage mode after 24 hours of inactivity to reduce gassing and prolong battery life. It charges lead acid and lithium (Li-ion) batteries alike and will even recover a battery discharged to zero volts.

With up to 93 percent efficiency the unit runs cool and quiet, and the NIGHT and LOW settings halve the output for silent, low heat charging when required. VE.Smart Networking lets it share battery voltage, temperature and current data with other Victron devices and synchronise with up to ten chargers for larger banks.

Can the Blue Smart IP22 charge lithium batteries?
Yes. It charges both lead acid and lithium (Li-ion) batteries. Lithium batteries are charged with a bulk, absorption and float algorithm, and the charger can reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery that has activated its internal disconnect.
What are the three outputs for?
This model has three independent isolated outputs, so it can charge up to three separate battery banks (for example starter, service and bow thruster batteries) at the same time from one charger.
How do I connect to the charger with my phone?
Bluetooth is built in. Install the free VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet to monitor voltage and current, change charge settings and update the charger firmware wirelessly.
What do the NIGHT and LOW modes do?
Both reduce the output current to a maximum of 50 percent of nominal (7.5 A on this model) so the charger runs silently and cooler. NIGHT mode ends automatically after 8 hours; LOW mode is ended manually.
Can it be used as a power supply?
Yes. The Blue Smart IP22 can be used as a DC power supply as well as a battery charger.
What is the warranty?
This Victron charger is supplied with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.
