This matters in practice because batteries presented to a charger in varying states of charge or age will receive an appropriate charge profile rather than a generic one. The equalisation stage, available for flooded lead-acid batteries, helps recover stratified or sulphated cells when applied periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built directly into the charger. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can select the correct charge algorithm for the battery chemistry, set absorption time, enable or disable equalisation, and monitor charge state in real time from a phone or tablet. No separate interface cable or hardware is needed. This makes commissioning and fault-finding straightforward on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP22 rating means the unit is suitable for use in engine bays, boat bilge areas, garages and similar sheltered locations where some moisture exposure is possible, but it should not be mounted in a position where it is directly rained on or submerged. The single-output version charges one battery bank at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121542022\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 15A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1 (single bank)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains plug: UK BS 1363\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIngress protection: IP22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.3kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076041047\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging and maintaining 12V starter or leisure batteries in motorhomes, campervans and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery charging for automotive, agricultural and plant equipment batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine battery maintenance on boats and narrowboats in sheltered berths or engine compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and backup battery systems requiring a reliable mains-powered charge source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-term battery storage maintenance where the storage mode prevents overcharging during extended periods of inactivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Blue Smart IP22 12\/15(1) charger with UK BS 1363 mains plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output leads with ring terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and does not require hardwired installation. Ensure the DC output leads are connected with correct polarity and that the battery terminals are clean and secure before use. Select the appropriate charge algorithm for your battery chemistry via VictronConnect before first use. For installation into fixed vehicle, marine or off-grid systems, connection to battery busbars or distribution should be carried out by a competent electrician or qualified marine engineer. Do not install in locations exposed to direct rainfall or standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863665606990,"sku":"BPC121542022","price":97.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121542022_-_Blue_Smart_IP22_Charger_12-15_1_230V_UK.webp?v=1781183125","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip22-charger-12v-15a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
