xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 6V/12V 1.1A 230V (CEE 7/16 Plug)
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 1.1A is a compact, weatherproof battery charger for 6V and 12V lead-acid and lithium batteries. Designed for motorcycles, small vehicles, boats and seasonal equipment, it connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app for full charge monitoring and configuration. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and workshop use.
- Bluetooth built-in: monitor charge status, adjust settings and view charge history via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- Compatible with 6V and 12V battery banks, covering a wide range of lead-acid chemistries (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4).
- 1.1A charge current: appropriate for small batteries in motorcycles, scooters, lawnmowers, jet skis and similar applications.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm: conditions, bulk charges, absorbs and maintains the battery to maximise service life.
- Storage mode: automatically reduces float voltage for long-term battery preservation when equipment is laid up.
- CEE 7/16 (Europlug) mains input: 230V AC supply, supplied with DC connector output lead.
- Reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection included as standard.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, dust and splash-proof housing that allows the charger to be left connected in garages, outbuildings or on boats without concern about moisture damage. At 1.1A output, this model is sized for batteries up to approximately 30Ah, making it well suited to maintaining smaller 6V or 12V batteries over extended periods rather than fast-charging large capacity banks.
Bluetooth connectivity is a practical differentiator at this price point. Rather than relying on LED indicators alone, the VictronConnect app gives a clear readout of charge stage, voltage, current and any fault conditions. Battery presets can be adjusted directly from a phone, which is useful when switching between battery chemistries or configuring the charger for a specific battery type. Charge history logs are also stored in the app, providing a useful record for maintenance purposes.
The seven-stage algorithm includes a recondition phase that can help recover mildly sulphated lead-acid batteries. Storage mode reduces the float voltage automatically once the battery is fully charged, which reduces electrolyte loss and grid corrosion during long lay-up periods. These features make the charger suitable for seasonal equipment that sits unused for months at a time.

Installation Notes
This charger is designed for straightforward connection to a single 6V or 12V battery using the supplied DC connector. Ensure the correct voltage is selected in the VictronConnect app before connecting to the battery. Verify battery chemistry settings match the battery being charged. Although no specialist electrical installation is required for this product, always follow the battery manufacturer's safety guidelines, ensure adequate ventilation when charging lead-acid batteries, and keep the charger away from flammable materials. This product is not intended for charging battery banks in grid-connected or off-grid solar systems.
