It is designed for professional and trade use where a reliable, programmable charger is needed for vehicles, boats, plant equipment or off-grid battery maintenance. 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 workshop, marine and outdoor installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth connectivity built in: configure and monitor the charger via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android without any additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15A charge current for 12V batteries: suitable for lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm: conditions, bulk charges, absorbs, and maintains the battery to maximise service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode: automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to minimise battery stress during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard: no adapter or rewiring required for UK use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle output (1 bank): charges one battery or battery bank at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e230V AC input: compatible with standard UK and European mains supply.\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 open-frame or ventilated chargers. The IP65 rating is particularly relevant in marine, agricultural and workshop environments where moisture and particulate contamination are a routine concern. The charger can be mounted in a fixed position or used as a portable unit without concern about incidental water exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth integration via VictronConnect gives installers and end users direct access to charge status, battery voltage, current, and historical data from a smartphone. Charge algorithm presets can be selected and saved for the specific battery chemistry in use, including AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and LiFePO4. This removes the need for manual DIP switches or guesswork when switching between battery types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage algorithm includes a recondition phase that can recover deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries that a simpler charger would reject. Once the battery reaches full charge, the unit transitions to a maintenance float and then to storage mode if the battery remains connected for an extended period, reducing the risk of overcharge during seasonal lay-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121531024R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC\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\u003eMains plug: UK BS 1363\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.93 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076039761\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\u003eMarine battery charging on boats and narrowboats where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery maintenance for vehicles, plant and agricultural machinery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and leisure battery top-up where a single-bank 12V charger is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeasonal storage charging for motorcycles, classic vehicles and garden machinery.\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 with 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 via the fitted BS 1363 plug. Ensure the battery terminals are correctly identified before connecting the output leads, observing polarity. For LiFePO4 batteries, select the lithium preset in VictronConnect before beginning the first charge cycle. The IP65 rating permits use in damp environments but the unit should not be submerged or subjected to direct, sustained water flow. No specialist electrical installation is required for standard portable use, though any fixed wiring to a dedicated circuit should be carried out by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863670653262,"sku":"BPC121531024R","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121531024R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-15_1_230V_UK_Retail.webp?v=1781183178","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-15a-230v-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
