xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 10A 230V UK
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/10 is a single-output, 12V 10A battery charger designed for professional and trade use. It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and communicates via Bluetooth, allowing charge monitoring and configuration through the VictronConnect app. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate.
Key Features
- 12V output at 10A charge current, suitable for lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, LiFePO4 and more
- IP65 rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for workshop, van or outdoor shelter use
- Built-in Bluetooth with VictronConnect app support for real-time charge monitoring, settings adjustment and fault diagnosis
- 230V AC input with UK BS 1363 three-pin plug fitted as standard, no adapter required
- Multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm adjusts charge profile based on battery condition and history
- Storage mode maintains battery health during long periods of inactivity without overcharging
- Compact and lightweight at 0.93 kg, suitable for portable or fixed installation
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 12/10 uses a multi-stage charging process that includes bulk, absorption and float phases. The adaptive absorption feature shortens or extends the absorption phase based on how long the battery took to reach the absorption voltage, which helps avoid overcharging batteries that are already partially charged. This is particularly useful in fleet or workshop environments where batteries are charged at irregular intervals.
Bluetooth connectivity is built in rather than added via an accessory. The VictronConnect app (available for iOS and Android) gives access to charge status, voltage, current, historical data and the ability to change battery presets. No dongle or additional hardware is required. The charger supports a range of battery types and allows the user to select the correct charge profile via the app, including a dedicated LiFePO4 mode.
The IP65 enclosure is a meaningful practical advantage over standard chargers. It allows the unit to be mounted in a van, boat, outbuilding or workshop without concern about condensation or dust contamination. The UK BS 1363 plug means it is ready to use from a standard 230V socket without modification.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and does not require professional electrical installation for basic use. Ensure the battery terminals are correctly identified before connecting. Select the appropriate battery profile via the VictronConnect app before first use, particularly if charging LiFePO4 cells. For fixed installation in a vehicle or marine application, secure the unit to prevent movement and ensure adequate ventilation around the enclosure.
