Designed for professional and trade use, it connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, giving installers and end users full visibility of charge status and settings without needing a display on the unit itself. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for installation in locations exposed to dust and water spray.\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 from any direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built-in: monitor and configure the charger via the free VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15A charge current on a single output, suitable for 12V battery banks up to approximately 300Ah.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-stage adaptive charging algorithm with battery conditioning, bulk, absorption and float phases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4 with appropriate settings).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/17 (Schuko-compatible) mains plug for use with standard 230V European and UK sockets via an adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode reduces float voltage to minimise battery degradation during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied as a retail unit (SKU: BPC121532064R) with DC connector included.\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 replaces the need for a separate monitoring device by embedding Bluetooth directly into the charger. Via VictronConnect, you can view real-time charge current, voltage, charge stage and historical data. You can also adjust charge algorithm presets to match the battery type installed, which is particularly useful when retrofitting to an existing battery bank where the chemistry or capacity may differ from a default setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP65 enclosure is a practical advantage in marine, vehicle, workshop and outdoor cabinet installations where a standard indoor charger would be unsuitable. The unit operates from a 230V AC supply and outputs up to 15A DC, making it appropriate for medium-capacity 12V battery banks. The adaptive charging algorithm monitors battery response during charging and adjusts absorption time accordingly, which helps avoid both undercharging and overcharging across varying battery conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEE 7\/17 plug is a two-pin Schuko-compatible format standard across continental Europe. In the UK, a plug adaptor is required for use with BS 1363 (standard UK three-pin) sockets. This should be factored in at the point of installation or supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121532064R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 15A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains input: 230V AC, CEE 7\/17 plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076070528\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 battery banks in motorhomes, campervans and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations where moisture and spray resistance are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop or garage battery maintenance for vehicles and plant equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins or outbuildings with a 230V supply and a 12V battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-term battery storage maintenance where the storage mode reduces float voltage.\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 (1 output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/17 mains plug (attached)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger should be installed in a ventilated location away from flammable materials. Ensure the battery chemistry preset is correctly configured via VictronConnect before first use. The CEE 7\/17 plug is not directly compatible with standard UK BS 1363 sockets; a suitable adaptor or rewire to a UK plug by a qualified electrician is required. For lithium battery installations, confirm the battery BMS is compatible with the charger's charge profile before connecting. Always follow the battery manufacturer's charge specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855247278414,"sku":"BPC121532064R","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121532064R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_12-15_1_230V_CEE_7-17_Retail.webp?v=1781091778","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-15a-230v","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
