Description

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/4 is a compact, professional grade portable battery charger delivering 4 A of charge current from a 230 V AC supply. Water, dust and chemical resistant to IP65, it is built for demanding marine, automotive and outdoor use where a fixed charger is not practical.

An intelligent 7 stage adaptive charge algorithm optimises every recharge and looks after long term battery health, while integrated Bluetooth lets you set up the charger, choose the battery type and monitor voltage and current from your phone using the VictronConnect app. A dedicated Li-ion mode sits alongside the lead-acid presets, and a recovery function can revive batteries discharged to nearly zero volts.

With up to 94 percent efficiency it runs cool and silent with no fan, and once the battery is full it draws minimal standby power. It is an ideal maintenance and top-up charger for smaller batteries from roughly 20 to 50 Ah.

What size battery is this charger suited to?
The Blue Smart IP65 12/4 is best suited to lead-acid or lithium batteries of roughly 20 to 50 Ah, and can also maintain larger batteries over long periods.
Can it charge lithium batteries?
Yes. A dedicated Li-ion (LiFePO4) charge algorithm is selectable in the VictronConnect app, alongside the lead-acid presets.
Do I need any extra equipment to configure it?
No. Bluetooth is built in, so you set the battery type, charge mode and monitor progress directly from the free VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet.
Is it safe to leave connected permanently?
Yes. After charging it switches to a low storage voltage and draws minimal power, so it can be left connected to maintain a battery indefinitely.
Is it suitable for use on a boat or outdoors?
Yes. The IP65 rating means it is splash, dust and chemical resistant, and it operates silently with no cooling fan, making it well suited to marine and outdoor use.
Can it recover a fully flat battery?
It can attempt to recharge a battery discharged to nearly zero volts using a low current, resuming normal charging once sufficient voltage develops across the terminals.
