It connects via a CEE 7\/17 (Schuko-compatible) mains plug and includes Bluetooth monitoring through the VictronConnect app, making it suitable for both workshop and field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for use in damp or outdoor environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional dongle required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge quality and extends battery service life across different battery types and states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/17 mains plug (Schuko-compatible) suits standard European and UK-with-adapter socket installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connects directly to the battery via the included DC connector, keeping installation straightforward.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.647 kg, making it easy to carry and store on board or in a service vehicle.\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 allows the charger to be mounted in engine bays, lockers or other locations where moisture and dust are a concern. The IP65 rating means it can tolerate direct water spray, though it is not designed for submersion. This makes it a practical choice for marine, caravan and automotive applications where a standard charger would be at risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built into the unit rather than added as an accessory. Through VictronConnect, you can view real-time charge status, adjust battery type settings, check historical charge data and configure charge parameters. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a location that is not easily accessible, such as a battery compartment or under a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption and float phases, along with storage mode and a reconditioning cycle for sulphated lead-acid batteries. For lithium batteries, the algorithm adapts to the requirements of LiFePO4 chemistry. At 4A output, this charger is best suited to batteries in the 14Ah to 100Ah range, making it appropriate for motorcycles, leisure batteries, small boat house banks and auxiliary vehicle batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC120433064R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 4A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains plug: CEE 7\/17 (Schuko-compatible), 230V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.647 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076044611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorcycle, scooter and ATV battery maintenance and charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaravan and motorhome leisure battery charging during storage or on-site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall boat and canal boat auxiliary battery charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuxiliary and secondary battery charging in vans and 4x4 vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or shed battery systems where a compact 12V charger is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop use for maintaining batteries on stored or seasonal-use vehicles.\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 12V 4A charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/17 mains cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connector\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 mains supply via the supplied CEE 7\/17 plug. In the UK, a plug adapter will be required for use with standard BS 1363 (Type G) sockets. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. The DC output should be connected to the battery with correct polarity; refer to the polarity markings on the connector. For installations in enclosed spaces, ensure adequate ventilation around the battery being charged, particularly with flooded lead-acid types. No specialist electrical qualification is required for basic connection, but any permanent wiring or installation into a vehicle or vessel electrical system should be carried out by a competent person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59856053993806,"sku":"BPC120433064R","price":56.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC120433064R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65s_Charger_12-4_1_230V_CEE_7-17_Retail.webp?v=1781101924","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-4a-cee7-17","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
