xBlue Smart IP22 Charger 12/30(3) 230V UK — BPC123048022
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/30(3) is a three-output, 30-amp battery charger designed for 12V lead-acid and lithium battery banks. It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and is controlled through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth. Suited to professional installers, marine engineers, and off-grid system integrators who need a reliable, programmable charger with multiple simultaneous outputs.
Key Features
- 30A total charge current across three independent outputs, allowing simultaneous charging of up to three battery banks.
- Bluetooth built-in: full configuration, monitoring and fault diagnostics via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- IP22 rated enclosure: protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and against direct water spray, suitable for engine rooms and sheltered outdoor installations.
- Compatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).
- Adaptive seven-stage charge algorithm: bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation, recondition, and temperature-compensated charging.
- UK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, no additional adaptor required for UK installations.
- Storage mode automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to minimise battery wear during long-term storage.
Product Overview
The IP22 rating makes this charger practical for installations where some exposure to moisture is unavoidable, such as boat engine bays, caravans, or sheltered outbuildings. It is not submersible, but it handles the condensation and spray typical of those environments without issue. The three-output design is particularly useful where a single charger needs to maintain a starter battery, a domestic battery bank, and a bow thruster battery independently.
Victron's adaptive charge algorithm adjusts absorption time based on how discharged the battery was at the start of the charge cycle. A deeply discharged battery receives a longer absorption phase; a battery that was only lightly discharged moves through to float more quickly. This reduces unnecessary heat and gassing in the battery, which matters for longevity in professional installations where batteries may not be regularly inspected.
VictronConnect gives the installer full control over charge profile parameters, including absorption voltage, float voltage, and equalisation settings. Charge history and fault logs are accessible directly from a smartphone, which simplifies commissioning and remote diagnostics without needing a laptop or proprietary interface cable.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and does not require hardwiring to the AC supply. DC output connections to the battery banks should be made with appropriately rated cable and fused as close to the battery as practical. For lithium battery installations, confirm that the battery BMS is compatible with Victron charge profiles before commissioning. Installation in enclosed spaces should allow adequate ventilation around the unit. A qualified electrician or competent marine engineer should carry out any permanent installation work.
