xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 6V/12V 1.1A 230V (UK Plug)
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 1.1A is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger designed for 6V and 12V lead-acid and lithium batteries. It is suited to maintaining and charging smaller battery banks in vehicles, motorcycles, boats and off-grid equipment. 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 connectivity built in: monitor and adjust charge settings via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS or Android without additional hardware.
- Compatible with 6V and 12V battery systems, covering a wide range of lead-acid chemistries (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) batteries.
- 1.1A output current: appropriate for smaller batteries and long-term maintenance charging without risk of overcharge.
- UK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready to use from a standard UK socket.
- Automatic multi-stage charging algorithm: bulk, absorption and float stages managed automatically to maximise battery life.
- Storage mode: reduces float voltage for long-term battery preservation when the vehicle or equipment is not in use.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a multi-stage charging process that adapts to the battery's state of charge. During bulk phase, the charger delivers maximum current. As the battery approaches full charge, it transitions to absorption, holding voltage constant while current tapers. Once fully charged, it drops to a float voltage to maintain charge without stressing the cells. For batteries left on charge for extended periods, storage mode reduces the float voltage further, which reduces electrolyte loss and plate corrosion in lead-acid types.
Bluetooth integration means there is no need for a separate interface module. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, select the correct battery preset (including user-defined profiles), and review historical charge data. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a location that is not easily accessible, such as inside a locker or under a seat.
At 0.53 kg, the unit is light enough to be permanently mounted or used as a portable charger. The IP65 enclosure means it can be left in place in engine bays, outbuildings or storage areas without concern about moisture or dust affecting the electronics.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and requires no specialist electrical installation. Ensure the battery voltage (6V or 12V) and chemistry are correctly selected in VictronConnect before first use. The unit should be mounted or positioned to allow adequate ventilation. For lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, confirm the battery's BMS is compatible with external chargers before connecting. Do not use with battery chemistries not listed in the VictronConnect preset options.
