- Built-in Bluetooth allows monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional hardware required.
- Compatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including flooded, gel, AGM, and lithium (LiFePO4) with selectable charge algorithms.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge quality and extends battery service life.
- 120V AC input with NEMA 5-15 plug, suitable for North American and compatible power supplies.
- Storage mode automatically reduces voltage to maintain batteries in good condition during long periods of inactivity.
- Compact and lightweight at 1.8 kg, with a robust housing suited to fixed or portable installation.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP67 range is designed for installations where the charger may be exposed to moisture, spray, or condensation. The IP67 rating means the unit can be mounted in engine bays, bilges, or outdoor enclosures without requiring additional weatherproofing. This makes it a practical choice for marine vessels, campervans, and remote off-grid battery banks where a standard charger would be unsuitable.
Bluetooth connectivity is built into the charger rather than added as an accessory. Using VictronConnect, an installer or operator can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge algorithm for the battery type in use, and review historical data. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a location that is not easily accessible for visual inspection.
The seven-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption, and float phases, along with a recondition mode for recovering deeply discharged batteries. The storage mode, which activates after a period of float charging, reduces the voltage to a level that minimises battery degradation during extended lay-up. These features make the unit appropriate for seasonal or standby applications as well as regular daily use.

Installation Notes
This charger operates on 120V AC and is fitted with a NEMA 5-15 plug. Ensure the supply circuit is correctly rated and protected before connecting. The DC output should be connected to the battery with appropriately sized and fused cabling. Although the IP67 rating permits installation in wet locations, the unit should not be permanently submerged. For lithium battery installations, confirm that the selected charge profile is compatible with the battery management system in use. Installation by a qualified electrician or marine engineer is recommended, particularly in fixed or permanent applications.
