xVictron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12V 13A (1 Output) 230V UK
The Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13 is a single-output, 13-amp battery charger rated for 12V systems, supplied with a UK BS 1363 mains plug. It is built for professional and trade use where a waterproof, Bluetooth-enabled charger is required for vehicles, marine craft, plant equipment or off-grid battery maintenance.
Key Features
- IP67-rated enclosure: fully dustproof and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre depth.
- Built-in Bluetooth allows monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional dongle required.
- 13A output current for 12V lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) battery banks, with selectable charge algorithms to suit the battery chemistry.
- Adaptive 7-stage charge algorithm covering bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition phases.
- Single output with a 230V AC input, supplied with a UK BS 1363 three-pin plug for direct mains connection.
- Temperature-compensated charging adjusts the charge voltage automatically to protect battery life in varying ambient conditions.
- Suitable for 12V AGM, Gel, enhanced flooded (EFB), calcium and lithium iron phosphate battery types.
Product Overview
The IP67 rating makes this charger suitable for installation in engine bays, bilges, outdoor enclosures and other locations where moisture, condensation or spray are a concern. Unlike standard workshop chargers, it can be left permanently connected without risk of overcharging, as the storage mode reduces voltage once the battery is full and maintains it at an optimal level for long-term standby.
Bluetooth connectivity is built directly into the unit. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge algorithm, set battery capacity, and review historical data. This removes the need for a separate display or data logger on straightforward single-battery installations. The charger also supports a battery safe mode for deeply discharged batteries that would otherwise be rejected by a standard charger.
The 12/13 model delivers 13A into a 12V battery, making it appropriate for battery banks up to approximately 200Ah where a full charge within a reasonable timeframe is needed. For larger banks, Victron's higher-current IP67 models in the same range should be considered.

Installation Notes
This charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket via the supplied BS 1363 plug. Ensure the output leads are correctly connected to the battery terminals, observing polarity. Although the IP67 enclosure provides strong environmental protection, the unit should not be submerged continuously or installed in permanently flooded locations. For installations involving lithium batteries, confirm the correct charge profile is selected in VictronConnect before use. No specialist electrical certification is required for a straightforward plug-in installation, but any fixed wiring work should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
