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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and workshop environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built-in: monitor and configure the charger via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, no additional interface required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive 7-stage charging algorithm: automatically adjusts charge profile to battery condition, including bulk, absorption, float and storage modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with multiple battery chemistries: supports AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging: adjusts charge voltage based on ambient temperature to protect battery life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard: no adaptor required for UK use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle output: 12V at up to 10A continuous charge current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode: automatically reduces to a maintenance charge when the battery is full, preventing overcharge during long-term storage.\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, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121032024R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 10A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 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: 0.93 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076070290\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 leisure batteries in caravans, motorhomes and campervans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine use: charging starter or service batteries on boats where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAgricultural and plant equipment: maintaining batteries on machinery stored between seasons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and backup systems: keeping a 12V battery bank topped up from a mains supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop and trade use: professional battery charging where a durable, configurable charger is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-term vehicle storage: storage mode prevents overcharge on vehicles left unused for extended periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron Blue Smart IP65 12\/10 charger with integrated UK BS 1363 mains plug\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863670522190,"sku":"BPC121032024R","price":86.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121032024R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-10_1_230V_UK_Retail.webp?v=1781183174","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-10a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
