It is designed for professional and trade use where a compact, weatherproof charger is needed for vehicles, boats, plant equipment or off-grid battery maintenance. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be suitable.\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 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 flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium (LiFePO4) with selectable charge profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge acceptance and extends battery service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready to use from a standard 230V socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.73 kg, making it practical for mobile or van-based installation work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode maintains battery charge during long periods of inactivity without overcharging.\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 standard bench chargers. The 12\/4 model delivers 4A of charge current, which is appropriate for batteries up to approximately 100Ah where a slow, conditioning charge is preferred, or for maintaining smaller batteries in vehicles and equipment that sit unused for extended periods. The charger automatically selects the correct charge stage and adjusts output based on battery condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built into the unit rather than added as an accessory. Through VictronConnect, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge profile, set battery capacity, and review historical charge data. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a fixed location that is not easily accessible, such as inside a locker or under a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage algorithm includes bulk, absorption, float and storage phases, as well as an automatic recondition cycle for sulphated lead-acid batteries. Lithium profiles are also available, making the unit suitable for installations where the battery chemistry may change over the system's lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC120435024R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 4A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains plug: UK BS 1363\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.73 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076072720\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining 12V starter or leisure batteries in vehicles, campervans and motorhomes during storage or off-season periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging AGM or gel batteries in marine and narrowboat applications where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop or trade use for conditioning batteries on plant, agricultural or commercial vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed installation in battery compartments where remote monitoring via Bluetooth is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining LiFePO4 batteries in small off-grid or portable power systems.\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 with integrated 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 230V UK mains socket and requires no hardwiring for basic use. Ensure the battery terminals are correctly identified before connecting. When installing in a fixed or enclosed location, allow adequate ventilation around the unit. For lithium battery installations, confirm that the selected charge profile matches the battery manufacturer's requirements. If integrating into a larger 12V system alongside solar or inverter equipment, a qualified electrician or competent installer should review the overall system design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863673340238,"sku":"BPC120435024R","price":56.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC120435024R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65s_Charger_12-4_1_230V_UK_Retail.webp?v=1781183210","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-4a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
