xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 10A Single Output 230V UK Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/10 is a single-output, 10-amp battery charger designed for 12V lead-acid and lithium batteries. It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and is built for professional and trade use in vehicles, boats, plant equipment and off-grid installations. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and workshop environments.
- Bluetooth built-in: monitor and configure the charger via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, no additional interface required.
- Adaptive 7-stage charging algorithm: automatically adjusts charge profile to battery condition, including bulk, absorption, float and storage modes.
- Compatible with multiple battery chemistries: supports AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.
- Temperature-compensated charging: adjusts charge voltage based on ambient temperature to protect battery life.
- UK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard: no adaptor required for UK use.
- Single output: 12V at up to 10A continuous charge current.
- Storage mode: automatically reduces to a maintenance charge when the battery is full, preventing overcharge during long-term storage.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, splash-resistant housing that sets it apart from standard workshop chargers. The IP65 rating means it can be mounted in engine bays, battery compartments, caravans or outbuildings without the risk of moisture or dust causing premature failure. At 10A output on a 12V battery, it will charge a typical 100Ah leisure battery from flat to full in around 10 to 12 hours, making it practical for overnight charging cycles.
Bluetooth connectivity is built directly into the unit. Using the free VictronConnect app, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, adjust the battery profile, set charge current limits and review historical data. This removes the need for a separate monitoring device and makes commissioning straightforward. The charger retains its last configuration, so once set up it operates autonomously without needing a phone nearby.
The 7-stage adaptive algorithm includes a reconditioning mode that can recover deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries that a simpler charger would reject. For lithium batteries, a dedicated LiFePO4 profile is selectable via the app, ensuring the charge curve matches the battery's requirements without manual adjustment.

Installation Notes
This charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket and requires no hardwiring. Ensure the output leads are connected to the correct battery terminals before plugging into the mains. For permanent installation in a battery compartment or engine bay, secure the unit using the integrated mounting points and ensure adequate ventilation around the charger. Always verify battery chemistry and select the correct profile in VictronConnect before first use. For installations forming part of a larger electrical system on a vessel or vehicle, connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine engineer familiar with the relevant wiring regulations.
