It connects via a standard CEE 7\/7 (Schuko\/French) 230V plug and includes Bluetooth built in, allowing full monitoring and control through the Victron Connect app. It suits workshops, marine, automotive and off-grid installations where a reliable, programmable charger is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V output at 20A charge current, suitable for lead-acid and lithium battery banks up to approximately 200Ah.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth with Victron Connect app support for real-time monitoring, charge history and settings adjustment from a smartphone or tablet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP22 ingress protection rating, suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where splash resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle output (1) configuration, providing one dedicated charge circuit from a single unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/7 mains plug (Schuko\/French standard) for direct connection to 230V AC supplies across the UK and EU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive seven-stage charge algorithm covering bulk, absorption, float and storage phases, with automatic battery type detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with gel, AGM, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistries, selectable via the app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Smart IP22 range uses a microprocessor-controlled adaptive charge algorithm. The charger monitors battery response during the bulk phase and adjusts absorption time accordingly, which reduces overcharging on batteries that are only partially discharged. This matters in practice because fixed-time chargers frequently overcharge partially depleted batteries, shortening service life. The storage mode maintains batteries at an optimal voltage during long periods of inactivity without continuous gassing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is integrated directly into the unit, not added via an external dongle. Through Victron Connect, an installer or end user can select battery chemistry, adjust charge voltages, view charge state and access a charge history log. This makes commissioning and fault-finding straightforward without needing a laptop or additional hardware. The IP22 rating means the unit can be mounted in an engine bay, locker or sheltered outbuilding, though it should not be exposed to direct rain or submersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEE 7\/7 plug is the standard two-pin-with-earth format used across continental Europe and is also widely used in UK installations with appropriate socket adapters. The single-output version (1) provides one charge circuit. Victron also offers two-output and three-output variants of this model for multi-bank applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC122042002\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 20A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains plug: CEE 7\/7 (Schuko\/French)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIngress protection: IP22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076037439\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 lead-acid or LiFePO4 battery banks in marine vessels, motorhomes and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery maintenance for automotive, agricultural and plant machinery batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or outbuilding battery charging where a 230V AC supply is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandby and backup power systems requiring regular battery conditioning and storage maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeisure vehicle installations where Bluetooth monitoring is needed without additional hardware.\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\/20(1) charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/7 mains cable (230V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output cable 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 AC supply via the supplied CEE 7\/7 plug. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriately rated fuse or MCB. DC connections should be made to the battery terminals with correct polarity; the unit includes reverse polarity protection. For lithium battery installations, confirm that the battery BMS is compatible with the charger's lithium charge profile before use. Installation in enclosed spaces should allow adequate ventilation around the unit. For permanent fixed installations in vehicles or vessels, a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician should carry out the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863668261198,"sku":"BPC122042002","price":105.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC122042002_-_Blue_Smart_IP22_Charger_12-20_1_230V_CEE_7-7.webp?v=1781183136","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip22-charger-12v-20a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
