Built to IP65 ingress protection, it is suitable for use in damp or dusty environments. It connects to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, giving installers and end users direct visibility of charge status and settings without additional hardware.\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, making it suitable for workshop, garage and outdoor-sheltered installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth connectivity built in: monitor charge status, adjust settings and view historical data using the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including GEL, AGM, lead-acid (flooded), and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge cycles and extends battery service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode automatically maintains batteries at the correct voltage during long-term storage, preventing sulphation and over-discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied with a CEE 7\/16 (Europlug) mains input, suitable for 230V AC supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connects directly to the battery via the included DC connector, with no exposed terminals during connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.73 kg, suitable for portable or fixed installation.\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 enclosure to achieve IP65 protection. This matters in practice because battery chargers are frequently installed in locations that see condensation, dust or occasional splashing: engine bays, battery compartments, garages and outbuildings. The sealed design removes the need to house the charger in a separate enclosure in these environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth integration is handled entirely within the charger. There is no dongle or additional interface required. The VictronConnect app provides real-time charge state, voltage and current readings, and allows the user to select the correct charge profile for the battery chemistry in use. This is particularly useful when a charger is installed in a location that is not easily accessible, as the app works over a typical Bluetooth range without requiring a direct line of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption, float and storage phases, along with an automatic recondition cycle for lead-acid batteries. For LiFePO4 batteries, the algorithm adjusts to suit the tighter voltage tolerances required by lithium chemistry. The 5A output is suited to batteries in the range of approximately 14Ah to 100Ah, covering motorcycles, leisure batteries, small marine applications and auxiliary vehicle batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC120535034R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput current: 5A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMains input: 230V AC, CEE 7\/16 (Europlug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIngress protection: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.73 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076072775\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\u003eLeisure battery charging in caravans, campervans and motorhomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall marine auxiliary battery charging in damp or exposed battery compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeasonal vehicle storage: maintaining battery condition over winter or extended lay-up periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop and garage use where a compact, portable charger is needed for 12V battery servicing.\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 5A charger (1 unit)\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 intended for connection to a standard 230V AC mains supply via the supplied CEE 7\/16 plug. Ensure the mains socket and circuit are rated appropriately for continuous use. The DC connector should be connected to the battery terminals observing correct polarity before the mains supply is connected. Although this charger is suitable for competent DIY use in straightforward applications, any installation involving a vehicle's main electrical system or a fixed wiring circuit should be carried out by a qualified electrician or auto-electrician. Verify battery chemistry compatibility before selecting a charge profile in the VictronConnect app.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60227821273422,"sku":"BPC120535034R","price":64.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC120535034R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65s_Charger_12-5_1_230V_CEE_7-16_Retail.webp?v=1785164969","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-5a-cee-7-16","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
