xVictron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12V 30A (1 Output) 230V UK
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/30 is a single-output, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger rated at 30 amps for 12V battery banks. It connects to the Victron Connect app over Bluetooth, giving installers and end users full visibility of charge status, history and settings without additional hardware. Suited to marine, leisure, automotive and off-grid applications where a reliable mains charger is needed.
Key Features
- 30A charge current at 12V via a single output, supplied with a UK BS 1363 plug for direct mains connection.
- Bluetooth built in: monitor and configure the charger using the free VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.
- IP22 ingress protection rating: suitable for use in sheltered indoor environments and enclosed battery compartments.
- Adaptive seven-stage charge algorithm covering bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition modes.
- Compatible with lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel, enhanced flooded (EFB) and standard flooded lead-acid batteries.
- Temperature-compensated charging via optional temperature sensor input, protecting batteries in variable ambient conditions.
- Automatic supply voltage detection: operates on 90 to 265V AC, 45 to 65Hz, making it usable across UK and European supplies.
Product Overview
The IP22 rating means the unit is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and against direct water spray, but it is not waterproof. It is designed for installation in a dry, ventilated space close to the battery. The single-output version (1) provides one set of charge terminals, keeping wiring straightforward in applications with a single battery or battery bank.
The seven-stage adaptive algorithm adjusts absorption time based on the previous bulk charge duration. This means a battery that was only partially discharged receives a shorter absorption phase, reducing heat stress and extending cycle life. The storage mode actively maintains the battery at an optimal voltage when the charger is left connected for extended periods, preventing sulphation in lead-acid types and over-charge in lithium.
VictronConnect provides access to charge history, real-time voltage and current readings, and the ability to select battery type and charge profile. No additional interface hardware or dongles are required. The charger is powered directly from a standard UK three-pin plug, with no hardwiring needed for typical installations.

Installation Notes
This charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket and requires no hardwiring. Install in a dry, ventilated location away from flammable materials and direct water exposure. Ensure the battery terminals are correctly identified before connecting. For lithium battery installations, confirm the battery management system (BMS) is compatible with the charger's lithium charge profile before use. No specialist electrical certification is required for plug-in installation, but any fixed wiring associated with the battery system should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
