It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and is rated IP65, making it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments. Built-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration through the VictronConnect app 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, suitable for workshop, garage and outdoor-sheltered installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built in as standard: connect via the free VictronConnect app on iOS or Android to monitor charge status, adjust settings and view historical data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts to battery condition, covering bulk, absorption, float and storage phases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-acid battery types including AGM, gel, flooded and VRLA, as well as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready for direct use on UK 230V supplies without adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging via optional temperature sensor input, preventing overcharge in high-temperature environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode reduces float voltage to minimise battery degradation during long-term storage.\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 sits above Victron's standard Blue Smart chargers by adding an IP65 environmental rating. This matters in practice for any installation where the charger cannot be kept in a clean, dry indoor space. A workshop bench, a boat locker, a caravan storage bay or a plant room with occasional moisture exposure are all environments where a standard charger would be at risk. The IP65 rating addresses that directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7A output is well matched to 12V batteries in the 40Ah to 200Ah range, covering leisure batteries, vehicle auxiliary batteries, marine house banks and UPS applications. The seven-stage algorithm is not simply a marketing label: it includes a reconditioning phase that can recover deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries that a simpler charger would fail to charge. For lithium batteries, a dedicated LiFePO4 charge profile is selectable through VictronConnect.\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 read live charge voltage and current, check the charge stage, adjust the battery type profile, set absorption time and review charge history. No dongle or additional interface is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBPC120731024R\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput current\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e7A\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eNumber of outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMains plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eUK BS 1363\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth (VictronConnect)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0.93 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076039747\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging and maintaining 12V leisure batteries in caravans, motorhomes and campervans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine auxiliary and house bank battery charging in environments with moisture exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery maintenance for vehicle fleets, plant equipment and agricultural machinery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and backup battery systems requiring a reliable mains-powered charge source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-term storage maintenance for seasonal vehicles, boats and standby power batteries.\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 Charger 12V\/7A (single output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug (factory fitted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output leads with ring terminals\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 UK 230V mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug. Ensure the DC output leads are connected to the correct battery polarity before plugging in. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, secure the charger to a fixed surface using the mounting points provided and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Although the IP65 rating provides environmental protection, the charger should not be submerged or exposed to direct, sustained water flow. For LiFePO4 battery installations, select the correct charge profile in VictronConnect before first use. If integrating with a larger battery system or off-grid setup, a qualified electrician should verify the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47483206074702,"sku":"BPC120731024R","price":73.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-1271-230v-uk-bpc120731024r-422412.jpg?v=1747940440","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-7a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
