xBlue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 7A with CEE 7/16 Plug — BPC120731034R
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 7A is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger designed for 12V lead-acid and lithium battery systems. It is suited to professional installers, marine and vehicle applications, and anyone who needs a reliable, weather-resistant charger with remote monitoring capability. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and marine environments.
- Built-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, without any additional hardware.
- 7A charge current on a 12V system supports a wide range of battery capacities, from small leisure batteries to medium-sized vehicle and marine banks.
- Compatible with multiple battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), with selectable charge profiles.
- CEE 7/16 (Europlug) mains input is standard across Europe and compatible with UK adaptors, making this unit suitable for both UK and EU use.
- Automatic temperature compensation adjusts the charge voltage based on ambient temperature, protecting the battery from over- or under-charging in variable conditions.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge time and battery longevity across the full charge cycle.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range sits above Victron's standard Blue Smart chargers by adding a sealed, IP65-rated housing with a DC output connector rather than bare leads. This makes the unit faster to connect and disconnect in applications where the charger is regularly moved between batteries, such as workshop use, fleet maintenance, or seasonal storage charging. The 12V 7A output is well-matched to batteries in the 40Ah to 200Ah range, where a higher current charger would offer diminishing returns and a lower current unit would extend charge times unnecessarily.
Bluetooth connectivity is built in as standard. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, select the correct battery profile, adjust charge parameters, and review historical data. This removes the need for a separate display or data logger on straightforward charging installations. The app is free and requires no account registration.
The seven-stage charging algorithm includes bulk, absorption, and float phases, along with a storage mode that periodically tops up the battery to prevent sulphation during long periods of inactivity. This is particularly useful for seasonal vehicles, boats laid up over winter, or backup power systems that sit idle for extended periods.

Installation Notes
This charger is designed for straightforward connection to a 12V battery system and does not require professional installation for standard use. Ensure the battery chemistry profile is correctly selected via the VictronConnect app before first use. The CEE 7/16 plug is a two-pin Europlug; a suitable adaptor is required for use with UK three-pin sockets. Do not connect to a battery system with a nominal voltage other than 12V. For integration into a larger electrical system, such as a boat or vehicle with existing wiring, connection by a qualified electrician or marine engineer is advisable.
