- IP22 rated enclosure: protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and against direct water spray, suitable for sheltered indoor and vehicle installations.
- Compatible with a wide range of lead-acid chemistries (AGM, Gel, flooded) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm with battery conditioning, bulk, absorption, float and storage modes.
- UK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready for direct connection to a standard 13A socket.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.9kg, making it practical for mobile, marine and workshop use.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP22 range uses a seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm that adjusts automatically to the condition of the battery. On a deeply discharged battery, the charger begins with a soft-start recondition phase before moving into bulk charge, then transitions through absorption and float to a long-term storage mode that maintains battery health without overcharging. This matters in practice because a fixed-stage charger left connected to a battery in storage will eventually damage it; the Blue Smart IP22 avoids this.
Bluetooth connectivity is handled entirely within the charger unit itself. No dongle or interface cable is required. The VictronConnect app gives full visibility of charge state, voltage, current and selected battery profile, and allows the installer to switch between pre-set battery profiles or configure a custom charge curve. This is particularly useful when commissioning a system or diagnosing a battery that is not accepting charge as expected.
The IP22 rating means the unit is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or condensation. It is designed for use in engine rooms, workshops, caravans, boats with enclosed battery compartments, and similar sheltered environments. The single output version is appropriate where one battery bank requires charging from a single mains source.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and does not require hardwiring. Ensure the battery chemistry profile is correctly selected via VictronConnect before first use, particularly when connecting to lithium batteries, as an incorrect profile can damage the battery. The unit should be mounted or positioned in a dry, ventilated location away from direct water ingress. For integration into larger 24V systems with solar charge controllers or inverters, a qualified installer should verify compatibility and system design.
