- Compact and lightweight at 0.9 kg, with wall-mount capability for fixed installations
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP22 12/30(1) uses a seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm that adjusts to the battery's condition on each cycle. The stages include bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation (for lead-acid types) and a reconditioning mode for deeply discharged batteries. This approach extends battery service life compared to simple constant-voltage chargers, which is particularly relevant in applications where batteries sit partially discharged for extended periods.
Bluetooth connectivity is built in rather than added via an accessory. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer can select the correct battery preset, adjust charge parameters, view real-time charge data and review historical charge logs. This removes the need for a separate display or data logger on the charger itself. The app is available free of charge for iOS and Android devices.
The IP22 rating means the unit is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and against vertically dripping water. It is not waterproof and should not be installed in locations subject to direct rain or submersion. For fully weatherproof installations, the IP65 range is more appropriate.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard UK 230V mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug. DC output connections should be made to the battery terminals using appropriately rated cable and fusing in line with the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Although the plug-and-play mains connection makes this unit accessible for competent users, any fixed wiring or installation within a marine, vehicle or off-grid electrical system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. Ensure the selected battery chemistry preset in VictronConnect matches the battery type before first use.
