Description
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/5 is a compact, professional grade portable battery charger delivering 5 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.
