It is designed for professional and trade use where a reliable, weather-resistant charger is needed for vehicles, marine applications, or off-grid battery maintenance. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty environments without additional enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows full configuration and monitoring via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional hardware required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive 7-stage charging algorithm covers bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition phases to suit a range of battery chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-acid battery types including GEL, AGM, and flooded wet cell, as well as lithium LiFePO4 batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied with a UK BS 1363 three-pin plug for direct mains connection without rewiring or adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging adjusts charge voltage based on ambient temperature to protect battery health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle output rated at 13A on a 24V system, delivering up to approximately 300W of charge power.\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, dust and splash-proof housing that makes it practical in locations where a standard charger would be unsuitable. The 24V 13A model is well suited to larger 24V battery banks found in commercial vehicles, motorhomes, narrowboats, and off-grid cabins. At 13A, it will charge a 100Ah battery from flat to full in roughly 8 to 10 hours under normal conditions, depending on battery state and chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built in as standard. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer or end user can select the correct battery profile, monitor charge status in real time, and review historical charge data. This removes the need for a separate display or data logger on straightforward single-battery installations. The app also allows the charger to be locked to a specific profile, which is useful when handing over to a non-technical end user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts charge time and voltage based on battery condition. A battery that is regularly discharged deeply will receive a longer absorption phase; one that is kept in good condition will move to float sooner. The storage mode reduces float voltage further to minimise electrolyte loss during long periods of inactivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC241331024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 24V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 13A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC input: 230V UK (BS 1363 plug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.91 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076051589\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging and maintaining 24V battery banks in motorhomes, campervans and caravans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine use on narrowboats and sailing vessels where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicle battery maintenance in workshops or fleet depots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or shed battery systems connected to a mains supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup battery charging for 24V UPS or telecoms installations.\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 24\/13 charger (1 output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug (pre-fitted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery connection leads\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 13A mains socket via the supplied BS 1363 plug. Ensure the battery terminals are correctly identified before connecting the output leads: reverse polarity will trigger the built-in protection, but repeated incorrect connection can damage the charger or battery. For permanent or semi-permanent installations in a vehicle or vessel, secure the charger to a fixed surface using the mounting points provided and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. LiFePO4 battery profiles must be selected manually via the VictronConnect app before first use. If integrating this charger into a larger off-grid or marine electrical system, connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine electrical engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59866749108558,"sku":"BPC241331024","price":126.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC241331024_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_24-13_1_230V_UK.webp?v=1781200272","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-24v-13a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
