Designed for professional and trade use, it suits workshop environments, vehicles, boats and off-grid battery maintenance where a dust- and splash-proof charger is required. The IP65 rating means it can be used in locations where a standard charger would not be appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure: fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built-in: monitor and adjust charge settings via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, no dongle required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V output at 10A: suitable for charging lead-acid (AGM, Gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-step adaptive charging algorithm: conditions, bulk charges, absorbs, and maintains the battery automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/17 mains plug: compatible with standard European and UK Schuko-type sockets on 230V supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode: reduces voltage after 10 days to minimise battery degradation during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReverse polarity and short-circuit protection: built-in safeguards prevent damage from incorrect connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 1.1 kg: easy to carry and mount in confined spaces.\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 multi-step charging process that goes beyond simple bulk and float stages. The charger analyses battery condition at the start of each cycle, applies a recondition pulse if sulphation is detected, then moves through bulk, absorption and float phases before dropping to a storage voltage. This approach extends battery service life compared to fixed-voltage chargers, which is relevant for batteries that sit unused for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is handled entirely within the unit. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can select the correct battery profile, view real-time charge data, check historical logs and receive fault alerts. This is particularly useful when the charger is mounted in an awkward location, as there is no need for physical access to read status LEDs. The DC output uses a connector that is compatible with Victron's DC cable accessories, allowing a permanent installation with a quick-disconnect lead to the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP65 enclosure makes this charger appropriate for engine bays, lockers, outbuildings and other locations where moisture and dust are present. It is not rated for submersion, but it will withstand condensation, rain splash and dusty workshop conditions without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121032064R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC, CEE 7\/17 plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput current: 10A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076070313\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 batteries in campervans, motorhomes and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery charging where dust and occasional moisture are present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine use: charging starter or service batteries in engine compartments or deck lockers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAgricultural and plant machinery: maintaining batteries on equipment stored between seasons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and outbuildings with a 230V supply needing a reliable battery maintenance charger.\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 12\/10 charger with CEE 7\/17 mains plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connector (for use with compatible Victron DC cable accessories)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetail packaging\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 mains supply via the supplied CEE 7\/17 plug. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriate fuse or MCB. The DC output should be connected to the battery using correctly rated cable and an inline fuse sized for the installation. Although the IP65 rating provides meaningful environmental protection, the unit should not be submerged or mounted where it will be continuously exposed to running water. For installations in vehicles or vessels, secure the charger to prevent movement and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. No specialist electrical qualification is required for a straightforward battery charging installation, but any work involving fixed wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855244853582,"sku":"BPC121032064R","price":86.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121032064R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-10_1_230V_CEE_7-17_Retail.webp?v=1781091773","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-10a-cee7-17","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
