12 V, 20 A battery charger with three isolated outputs
Charge up to three batteries at once (e.g. house, start and auxiliary)
Built-in Bluetooth: monitor, set up and update with VictronConnect
93% efficient, with 0.5 W no-load power use
Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm with storage mode
Lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) charge modes
NIGHT and LOW modes cut output to 10 A for silent charging
VE.Smart Network for battery voltage, temperature and current sensing
Can be used as a 12 V power supply
Supplied with an AU/NZ 240 V plug lead
Where to use it
The Blue Smart IP22 12/20 (3) suits caravans, motorhomes, boats and workshops with more than one 12 V battery. The output is shared across three isolated outputs, so one charger keeps the house, start and auxiliary batteries topped up.
It is designed for indoor or sheltered locations (IP22).

Victron Energy has a strong, unrivalled reputation for technical innovation, reliability, and build quality. Their products are widely considered to be a professional choice for independent electric power. Efficiently combining two or more distinct power sources is what they do best. Their products include sinewave inverters, sinewave inverters/chargers, battery chargers, DC/DC converters, transfer switches, battery monitors and more.
Yes. Once the battery is full the charger moves to storage mode, which lowers the voltage to 13.2 V (12 V models) to reduce gassing and corrosion, then runs a short refresh charge once a week. It uses about 0.5 W when idle.
Both modes cut the output current to half of the rated current and make the charger completely silent. NIGHT mode switches off by itself after 8 hours; LOW mode stays on until you change it.
No. It comes with a 1.5 m 240 V lead with an Australian plug, but the DC battery cable is not included. The battery terminals take cable up to 13 mm² (AWG6); choose the cable size to suit the charge current and cable length.
