Built to IP65, it is dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it suitable for use in workshops, vans, boats and outdoor enclosures. It connects to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth for monitoring and configuration without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure provides full dust protection and resistance to water jets, suitable for damp or outdoor environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15A charge current for 12V battery banks, compatible with lead-acid (AGM, Gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows direct connection to the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android for real-time monitoring, charge history and settings adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge cycles and extends battery service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode automatically maintains batteries at the correct voltage during long periods of inactivity, preventing sulphation and over-discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging adjusts output voltage based on ambient temperature to protect the battery in cold or hot conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied with a CEE 7\/16 (Europlug) mains plug for 230V AC input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output via integrated connector, with a DC cable and ring terminal connector included in the retail pack.\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 sits above Victron's standard Blue Smart chargers by adding a weatherproof enclosure. The IP65 rating means the unit can be mounted in a vehicle, a boat's engine bay, or a partially exposed outbuilding without requiring an additional protective housing. The 12\/15 variant delivers 15 amps to a single 12V battery, making it appropriate for medium to large battery banks found in leisure vehicles, marine applications and off-grid backup systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built in rather than added via an optional dongle. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer or end user can view the current charge stage, battery voltage, charge current and historical data. Battery presets can be selected or customised directly from the app, which is particularly useful when commissioning a system with a specific battery chemistry or a manufacturer's recommended charge profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage algorithm includes bulk, absorption, float and storage phases, with an automatic recondition cycle for lead-acid batteries. The charger will not begin charging a battery that is deeply discharged beyond recovery thresholds, and it includes short-circuit and reverse polarity protection as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121532034R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC, CEE 7\/16 (Europlug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 15A\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: 8719076070481\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 campervans, motorhomes and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine battery charging in engine bays or wet lockers where moisture ingress is a concern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or outbuilding battery maintenance connected to a 230V mains or generator supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop or fleet vehicle battery conditioning and storage maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup battery systems requiring periodic charging and long-term storage management.\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\/15 charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output cable with integrated connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRing terminal DC connection cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/16 (Europlug) mains cable\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 is designed for connection to a standard 230V AC supply via the supplied CEE 7\/16 plug. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriately rated fuse or circuit breaker. The DC output should be connected with correct polarity; the unit includes reverse polarity protection, but incorrect wiring should still be avoided. For installation in a vehicle or marine application, secure the unit to a fixed surface using the mounting points provided and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. If integrating this charger into a larger battery system alongside an inverter or solar charge controller, a qualified electrician or experienced installer should verify the overall system design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863677501774,"sku":"BPC121532034R","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121532034R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-15_1_230V_CEE_7-16_Retail.webp?v=1781183293","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-15a-230v-r","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
