xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 24V 13A (1 Output) 230V CEE 7/17
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/13 is a single-output, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger rated at 24V and 13A, designed for professional and trade use in vehicles, marine craft, and off-grid installations. Its IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate. It connects via a CEE 7/17 plug for standard 230V European and UK mains supply.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor or workshop environments.
- Bluetooth built-in: configure charge algorithms, monitor charge status, and view battery data via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.
- 24V output at 13A with a single DC output channel for direct battery connection.
- Multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts to battery condition, including bulk, absorption, and float phases.
- Compatible with multiple battery chemistries: lead-acid (flooded, gel, AGM) and lithium (LiFePO4) with selectable charge profiles.
- Storage mode reduces float voltage to minimise battery degradation during long-term storage.
- CEE 7/17 mains plug for 230V AC input, compatible with standard European schuko sockets.
- Compact and lightweight at 1.91 kg, with a DC connector output for straightforward installation.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, dust and splash-proof housing that sets it apart from standard workshop chargers. The IP65 rating is relevant in practice for engine bays, boat bilge areas, caravans, and any installation where moisture or debris is a realistic concern. The charger can be left connected without the risk of ingress damage that would affect an unrated unit.
Bluetooth connectivity via VictronConnect removes the need for a separate display or manual adjustment. Charge profiles can be set and monitored remotely from a phone, which is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a confined or hard-to-access location. The app also logs historical charge data, which can be useful for diagnosing battery health over time.
The adaptive multi-stage algorithm monitors battery response during the absorption phase and adjusts charge time accordingly. This means a battery in good condition will move to float sooner, while a deeply discharged or older battery receives a longer absorption cycle. The storage mode, activated automatically after a period in float, reduces voltage further to slow self-discharge and minimise plate corrosion in lead-acid batteries.

Installation Notes
This charger is intended for connection to a 230V AC mains supply via the supplied CEE 7/17 plug. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. The DC output should be connected to the battery with correct polarity; refer to the battery manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate charge voltage settings, particularly when configuring lithium profiles via VictronConnect. While the IP65 rating provides environmental protection, the unit should not be submerged or exposed to continuous water flow. For permanent installation in a vehicle or marine application, a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician should carry out the wiring.
