It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and communicates via Bluetooth, giving installers and technicians full visibility of charge status without additional hardware. Suited to 12V lead-acid and lithium battery banks in vehicles, marine craft, and off-grid installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25A output current for 12V battery systems, suitable for battery banks up to approximately 250Ah.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure provides full dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for installation in exposed or damp environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth connectivity built in, allowing charge monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-acid battery types including AGM, Gel, and flooded, as well as lithium (LiFePO4) batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm adjusts to battery condition, including a storage mode that maintains charge without overcharging during long-term standby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, no additional adaptor required for UK installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle output channel (1) for straightforward single-bank charging applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, IP65-rated housing that tolerates dust and water ingress far better than standard workshop chargers. This matters in practice for installations in engine bays, battery compartments, boat bilge areas, or outdoor enclosures where moisture and debris are a regular concern. The 12\/25 variant delivers 25A into a 12V bank, which is sufficient for medium to large battery banks commonly found in leisure vehicles, commercial vehicles, and off-grid backup systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth integration via VictronConnect removes the need for a separate display or data logger during commissioning and maintenance. Charge voltage, current, state of charge, and algorithm stage are all visible in real time from a phone or tablet. The charger can also be reconfigured for different battery chemistries and custom charge profiles through the app, which is particularly useful when working across a range of battery types on different jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage algorithm includes bulk, absorption, float, and storage phases, along with an automatic equalisation option for flooded lead-acid batteries. The storage mode periodically applies a refresh charge to counteract self-discharge, which extends battery life in seasonal or standby applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC122531024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput current: 25A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput channels: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains plug: UK BS 1363\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.91 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076051565\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 battery banks in motorhomes, campervans, and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine battery charging in wet or exposed bilge and engine compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and backup power systems requiring reliable mains-powered battery maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicle fleet battery maintenance during vehicle downtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop and trade use where a single portable charger must handle multiple battery chemistries.\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 IP65 Charger 12\/25 (1 output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug. Ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation and that the charger is mounted or positioned to avoid prolonged submersion, as IP65 does not cover immersion. For permanent fixed installations in vehicles or marine craft, secure the unit to prevent movement and protect the DC output cables with an appropriately rated fuse close to the battery terminals. Lithium battery profiles should be confirmed against the battery manufacturer's specifications before use. No specialist electrical qualification is required for basic plug-in use, but permanent wiring into a vehicle or vessel should be carried out by a competent auto or marine electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60201799254350,"sku":"BPC122531024","price":126.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC122531024_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-25_1_230V_UK.webp?v=1784819049","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12-25-230v-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
