xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V/15A 230V UK Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/15 is a single-output, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger rated at 15 amps for 12V battery systems. It is designed for professional and trade use where a reliable, weather-resistant charger is needed for vehicles, boats, off-grid systems and workshop environments. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty conditions without additional enclosure.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and workshop use.
- Bluetooth built-in: monitor and adjust charging settings via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, no additional interface required.
- 15A output for 12V battery systems, with an adaptive 7-stage charging algorithm covering bulk, absorption, float and storage phases.
- Compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) with selectable charge profiles.
- UK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, 230V AC input, ready to use out of the box.
- Temperature-compensated charging via optional temperature sensor input, preventing overcharge in high-temperature environments.
- Recondition mode available for deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 12/15 uses a fully automatic adaptive charging algorithm. During bulk phase it delivers the full 15A output; absorption phase holds voltage constant while current tapers; float maintains the battery at full charge without overcharging. A storage mode further reduces voltage to minimise battery wear during long-term standby. This makes it suitable for seasonal vehicles, standby power systems and any application where a battery may sit connected for extended periods.
Bluetooth connectivity is handled entirely through the VictronConnect app. From the app, you can view real-time charge current, voltage and charge state, select battery type and capacity, and access historical charge data. No dongle or separate Bluetooth module is needed. The charger also supports a battery-safe mode that limits charge current when the battery is deeply discharged, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive electronics connected to the battery.
The IP65 housing is a meaningful practical advantage over standard indoor chargers. It allows installation in engine bays, battery compartments, outbuildings and marine environments where moisture and dust are present. The unit weighs 1.1 kg and is compact enough to mount permanently or use as a portable unit.

Installation Notes
This charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug. Ensure the DC output leads are correctly connected to battery polarity before plugging in. For permanent 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. When charging lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, select the correct charge profile in VictronConnect before use. If in doubt about battery compatibility or installation in a complex electrical system, consult a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician.
