The Battery is Charged, Smartly and to Perfect Condition:
The seven-step charging algorithm gets the best out of your battery. The charger gives the battery the power it needs, maintains its health, and ensures better performance... and a longer life.
Connect the Battery with Ease:
The charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets - making it easy to connect to the battery. If you wish, you can leave it permanently connected.
Check the Status of Your Battery Remotely:
The Blue Smart IP65 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app.
The VictronConnect App:
Setup, readout and configure your Blue Smart IP65 Charger via your smartphone. You can display the status of your charger and battery and even control the functions of your charger using the VictronConnect app. On your screen, the readout of voltage and current is default available.

Storage Mode: Less Corrosion of the Positive Plates:
Even the lower float charge voltage that follows the absorption period will cause grid corrosion. It is therefore essential to reduce the charge voltage even further when the battery remains connected to the charger for more than 48 hours.
Temperature-Compensated Charging:
The optimal charge voltage of a lead-acid battery varies inversely with temperature. The Blue Smart IP65 Charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and compensates for temperature during the charging process. The temperature is measured again when the charger is in low current mode during float or storage. Special settings for a cold or hot environment are therefore not needed.
Li-ion Battery Mode:
The Blue Smart Charger uses a specific charging algorithm for Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries, with automatic Li-ion under voltage protection reset.
Ultra High-Efficiency “Green” Battery Charger:
With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. Once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0.5W, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
Durable, Safe and Silent:
- Low thermal stress on the electronic components.
- Protection against ingress of dust, water and chemicals.
- Protection against overheating: The output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.
- The chargers are totally silent: no cooling fan or any other moving parts.
Reconditioning:
A lead-acid battery that has been insufficiently charged or has been left discharged for days or weeks will deteriorate due to sulfation. If caught in time, sulfation can sometimes be partially reversed by charging the battery with low current up to a higher voltage.
Recovery Function for Fully Discharged Batteries:
Most reverse polarity-protected chargers will not recognize, and therefore not recharge a battery that has been discharged to zero or nearly zero Volts. The Blue Smart Charger however will attempt to recharge a fully discharged battery with low current and resume normal charging once sufficient voltage has developed across the battery terminals.
*Please note, this model of charger is not suitable for the Victron charger case or the additional Victron charger accessory cables*
