Charges lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) batteries
NIGHT and LOW modes cut output to 15 A for silent charging
Recovers fully discharged batteries, including lithium batteries with an internal disconnect
VE.Smart Network: pairs with a Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt or Smart Battery Monitor for voltage, temperature and current sensing
Synchronises with up to 10 chargers for parallel charging
Can be used as a 12 V power supply
Supplied with an AU/NZ 240 V plug lead
Where to use it
Use the Blue Smart IP22 12/30 as a mains battery charger for 12 V batteries in caravans, motorhomes, boats, workshops and off-grid backup systems. It suits indoor or sheltered locations (IP22).
With 30 A of output it is a good fit for larger house batteries and lithium banks, and storage mode keeps batteries healthy between trips by dropping to a lower float voltage and running a weekly refresh charge.

About Victron
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.
You’ll need a lithium-compatible charger or solar controller with a LiFePO₄ charge profile. These chargers use the correct voltage settings (typically around 14.2–14.6V per 12V module) and ensure safe, efficient charging. Using the wrong charger can reduce performance or damage the cells.
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.
