xVictron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12V 20A (3 Outputs) 230V UK
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/20(3) is a mains-powered battery charger with Bluetooth built in, designed for professional and trade use where multiple batteries need charging from a single unit. It accepts a standard UK BS 1363 plug and delivers 20A across three independently controlled outputs, making it well suited to workshop, vehicle fleet and marine applications.
Key Features
- 20A total charge current across three separate output connections, allowing up to three batteries to be charged simultaneously.
- Built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables full monitoring and configuration via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- IP22 rated enclosure provides protection against finger contact and dripping water, suitable for sheltered indoor and covered outdoor environments.
- Adaptive seven-stage charge algorithm covers bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition phases.
- Compatible with lead-acid battery types including GEL, AGM, AGM Spiral, Tubular Plate and flooded/wet cell batteries, with a lithium (LiFePO4) charge profile also available.
- Input voltage: 230V AC with a UK BS 1363 three-pin plug fitted as standard.
- Storage mode automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to minimise battery degradation during long-term standby.
- Battery history and charge data accessible through VictronConnect, useful for fault diagnosis and maintenance records.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP22 12/20(3) uses a fully automatic adaptive charge algorithm that adjusts absorption time based on the battery's response during the bulk phase. This means the charger does not apply a fixed absorption period regardless of battery condition; instead, it calculates the appropriate time from actual charge data. For batteries that are regularly cycled, this reduces unnecessary overcharging. For deeply discharged batteries, it extends absorption to ensure a full charge is reached.
The three-output version shares the 20A charge current across whichever outputs are connected. This is practical in fleet or workshop settings where several batteries of different sizes may need attention at the same time. Bluetooth configuration through VictronConnect allows the charge profile, battery type and absorption voltage to be set without physical switches or jumpers, and settings are retained after power cycling.
The IP22 rating means the unit is protected against direct finger contact with live parts and against vertically dripping water. It is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or submersion. For fully outdoor or bilge installations, the IP65 or IP67 variants are more appropriate.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V AC mains socket via the fitted UK plug and does not require hardwiring. Ensure the installation location is sheltered from direct rain and has adequate ventilation, as the unit generates heat during charging. Confirm battery chemistry and select the correct charge profile in VictronConnect before first use. For lithium LiFePO4 batteries, verify that the battery BMS is compatible with the charger's lithium profile. Installation in a vehicle or marine environment should follow the relevant wiring standards and be carried out by a competent person familiar with 12V DC systems.
