Its IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments. Built-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app without any additional hardware.\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 outdoor and workshop use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built-in: connects directly to the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android for real-time charge monitoring and settings adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V 4A output: appropriate for maintaining and charging smaller battery banks, motorcycles, leisure batteries and auxiliary vehicle batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/16 (Europlug) mains input: compact two-pin plug standard for 230V AC supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-stage adaptive charging algorithm: automatically adjusts charge profile based on battery condition to avoid overcharging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC connector output: pre-fitted DC connector for straightforward connection without requiring crimped ring terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetail packaging included: supplied in Victron retail box, suitable for resale or gifting.\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 installation or use in locations where a standard charger would be unsuitable, such as engine bays, outbuildings or marine environments. The IP65 rating covers both dust and directed water, giving it a meaningful advantage over unrated chargers in practical field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4A charge rate is well matched to batteries in the 14Ah to 100Ah range, making it a practical choice for motorcycles, small leisure vehicles, caravans and backup battery systems. The multi-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption and float phases, with an optional storage mode for long-term battery maintenance. All charge parameters can be viewed and adjusted through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, which removes the need for a separate interface cable or PC software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit ships with a CEE 7\/16 Europlug, which is the standard two-pin plug used across continental Europe. UK buyers should note this plug type is not compatible with standard UK three-pin sockets and will require an appropriate adaptor or socket. The DC output uses a pre-fitted connector rather than bare leads or ring terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC120435034R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 4A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains input: 230V AC, CEE 7\/16 (Europlug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.73 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076072737\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorcycle and scooter battery charging and maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaravan and motorhome leisure battery top-up during storage or off-season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall boat or RIB auxiliary battery charging in damp marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or shed battery maintenance where a compact charger is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup battery systems requiring periodic float maintenance.\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\/4 charger (1 output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/16 (Europlug) 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 straightforward connection to a 12V battery via the supplied DC connector. Ensure the mains supply voltage matches the unit's 230V AC input rating. UK users must use a suitable plug adaptor, as the CEE 7\/16 Europlug is not compatible with BS 1363 (UK three-pin) sockets. Always connect the DC output to the battery before connecting the mains supply. For installations in vehicles or marine craft, ensure the charger is mounted in a ventilated location away from fuel sources. No specialist electrical qualification is required for basic battery charging use, but any permanent wiring into a vehicle or vessel should be carried out by a competent electrician or qualified marine engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60227808559438,"sku":"BPC120435034R","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC120435034R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65s_Charger_12-4_1_230V_CEE_7-16_Retail.webp?v=1785164958","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-4a-cee716","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
