It is designed for professional and trade use where a compact, weatherproof charger is needed for 24V battery banks in vehicles, boats, and off-grid installations. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be suitable.\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 monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, without any additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEight-stage adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts to battery condition, covering bulk, absorption, float, storage, and reconditioning phases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of 24V battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) with selectable charge profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle DC output with integrated DC connector for direct connection to the battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e230V AC input with CEE 7\/17 (Schuko-compatible) plug, suitable for standard European and UK sockets via an adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 1.1 kg, making it practical for mobile and portable applications.\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 multi-stage adaptive charging process. The charger analyses battery condition during the bulk phase and adjusts the absorption time accordingly, which reduces the risk of overcharging and extends battery service life. The storage mode maintains batteries at an optimal voltage when left connected for extended periods, making it well suited to seasonal or standby applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built directly into the unit. Using VictronConnect, an installer or operator can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge algorithm, set charge current limits, and review historical data. This removes the need for a separate interface panel and makes commissioning straightforward on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEE 7\/17 plug is a two-pin Schuko-compatible plug widely used across Europe. In the UK, a plug adapter is required for standard BS 1363 sockets. The DC output uses Victron's integrated connector format, which is included with the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC240832064R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 24V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 8A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC input: 230V, CEE 7\/17 plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076070535\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging 24V battery banks in campervans, motorhomes, and commercial vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine use where moisture and spray resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and backup power systems requiring a reliable mains-powered charger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop or yard charging of 24V traction or leisure batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeasonal battery maintenance for boats, plant equipment, and standby systems.\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\/8 charger with integrated CEE 7\/17 mains plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetail packaging\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 24V battery via the supplied DC connector. Ensure the battery voltage and chemistry match the selected charge profile before connecting. For LiFePO4 batteries, select the lithium profile in VictronConnect before first use. The CEE 7\/17 plug is not compatible with standard UK BS 1363 sockets without an adapter. Installation in a vehicle or marine application should be carried out by a qualified electrician or auto-electrician familiar with 24V DC systems. Do not install in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855391392078,"sku":"BPC240832064R","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC240832064R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65_Charger_24-8_1_230V_CEE_7-17_Retail.webp?v=1781094246","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-24v-8a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
