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.\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 outdoor and marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, without any additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7A charge current on a 12V system supports a wide range of battery capacities, from small leisure batteries to medium-sized vehicle and marine banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with multiple battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), with selectable charge profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/16 (Europlug) mains input is standard across Europe and compatible with UK adaptors, making this unit suitable for both UK and EU use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic temperature compensation adjusts the charge voltage based on ambient temperature, protecting the battery from over- or under-charging in variable conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge time and battery longevity across the full charge cycle.\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003eSpecification\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;\"\u003eBPC120731034R\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;\"\u003eCharge 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;\"\u003eMains Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V AC, CEE 7\/16 (Europlug)\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 app)\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;\"\u003e8719076045816\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\u003eMaintenance charging for leisure batteries in caravans, motorhomes, and campervans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine battery charging on boats and narrowboats where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFleet and workshop use for regular charging and conditioning of vehicle batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeasonal storage charging for motorcycles, classic cars, and other vehicles laid up over winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup and standby battery maintenance in off-grid or UPS applications.\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 (1 unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connector lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCEE 7\/16 mains plug (Europlug, 230V)\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47483192410446,"sku":"BPC120731034R","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-cee-716-bpc120731034r-489063.jpg?v=1747940402","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-7a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
