xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 25A (1 Output) 230V CEE 7/17
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/25 is a single-output, 25-amp battery charger designed for 12V lead-acid and lithium battery banks. Built to IP65, it is dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it suitable for use in vans, boats, workshops and outdoor enclosures. It connects via a standard CEE 7/17 mains plug and is controlled and monitored through the Victron Connect app over Bluetooth.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure provides full dust protection and resistance to water jets, suitable for damp or exposed installation environments.
- 25A charge current on a single DC output, capable of charging 12V lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery types.
- Bluetooth built in: configure charge profiles, monitor charge status and view battery voltage in real time via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge time and battery longevity without manual intervention.
- Storage mode automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to minimise battery stress during long-term storage.
- CEE 7/17 mains plug (Schuko/French compatible) for direct connection to a standard 230V socket.
- Temperature-compensated charging adjusts output based on ambient conditions to prevent over or undercharging.
Product Overview
The 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 or outdoor cabinets where moisture and dust are a concern. The DC output uses a dedicated connector rather than bare clamps, which suits permanent or semi-permanent installations where a tidy, secure connection is needed.
At 25 amps, this charger is well suited to battery banks up to approximately 250Ah, covering most leisure, marine and light commercial applications. The seven-stage algorithm handles bulk, absorption, float and storage phases automatically. The recondition stage 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 VictronConnect.
VictronConnect gives installers and end users full visibility of the charge cycle without needing a separate display. Charge history, error codes and battery voltage trends are all accessible from a phone. This is particularly useful in installations where the charger is mounted in an inaccessible location.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V mains socket via the supplied CEE 7/17 plug. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriate MCB and that the installation location allows adequate ventilation around the unit. The DC output should be connected with correctly rated cable and an inline fuse close to the battery. For permanent vehicle or marine installations, a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician should carry out the wiring. Verify battery chemistry compatibility and select the correct charge profile in VictronConnect before first use.
