Description

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger is a professional, fully sealed battery charger built for the harshest environments. Its cast aluminium case and resin-encapsulated electronics make it waterproof, shockproof and ignition protected, so water, oil and dirt will not damage it, on the boat, the bench or the vehicle.

This is the Start Interrupt (1+Si) version. Alongside the main charging output it has a second, current-limited output that disconnects the charger from the vehicle electronics the moment the engine is started, protecting sensitive equipment from voltage dips during cranking. Built-in Bluetooth lets you monitor voltage and current, change settings and update firmware from the free VictronConnect app, and an adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm optimises every cycle.

This 24 V, 12 A model is the 230 V variant, supplied on a 1.5 m mains lead. It recovers deeply discharged batteries from zero volts, can run as a DC power supply, and with efficiency up to 96% wastes far less energy as heat than conventional chargers.

What does the Start Interrupt (1+Si) feature do?
This model has a second, current-limited output that disconnects the charger from the connected electronics the instant the engine is started. It protects sensitive on-board equipment from the voltage dip that occurs during cranking, then reconnects automatically.
Which batteries can this charger be used with?
It charges lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM and gel) using a 5-stage adaptive algorithm, and lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries using a bulk, absorption and float algorithm. Battery type is selected as Normal, High or Li-ion in the VictronConnect app.
Is the IP67 charger really waterproof?
Yes. The casing is cast aluminium and the electronics are moulded in resin, giving an IP67 rating so water, oil and dirt will not damage it. It is also shockproof and ignition protected.
How do I monitor and configure the charger?
Bluetooth is built in. The free VictronConnect app for phone, tablet or laptop lets you read voltage and current, change settings and update firmware wirelessly.
What AC supply does this version need?
This is the 230 V version. It accepts a 180-265 VAC, 45-65 Hz supply and is fitted with a 1.5 m mains lead.
