xVictron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12V 17A (1 Output) 230V CEE 7/7
The Victron Blue Smart IP67 12/17 is a single-output, 230V mains-powered battery charger rated at 17 amps for 12V battery banks. It is built to IP67 standards, making it suitable for use in wet, dusty or exposed environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate. Designed for professional installers, marine applications, vehicle workshops and off-grid setups where reliable, unattended charging is required.
Key Features
- IP67-rated enclosure: fully dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre depth.
- 17A charge current for 12V batteries, suitable for medium to large capacity lead-acid and lithium battery banks.
- Bluetooth connectivity built in, allowing charge monitoring and configuration via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- Multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm automatically adjusts to battery condition, covering bulk, absorption and float phases.
- Compatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).
- Single output (1 bank) with a CEE 7/7 Schuko mains plug for direct connection to standard European 230V sockets.
- Storage mode and recondition mode included for long-term battery maintenance and recovery of deeply discharged batteries.
- Temperature-compensated charging when used with an optional Victron temperature sensor.
Product Overview
The IP67 rating sets this charger apart from standard workshop or domestic units. The enclosure is sealed against dust ingress and can withstand temporary submersion, which matters in bilge-adjacent marine installations, outdoor generator enclosures, or vehicle charging bays where water and grime are routine. The charger does not need to be mounted in a protected cabinet to operate safely.
Bluetooth is integrated as standard, not an optional add-on. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer or technician can view real-time charge status, adjust battery type settings, set charge voltage thresholds and review historical data without physically accessing the unit. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a confined or awkward location.
The adaptive multi-stage algorithm monitors battery response during the absorption phase and adjusts charge time accordingly, rather than applying a fixed duration. This reduces the risk of overcharging and extends battery service life. The recondition mode applies a controlled higher voltage to break down sulphation on lead-acid batteries, which can recover batteries that appear to have failed.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V CEE 7/7 (Schuko) mains socket. Ensure the mains circuit is correctly fused and earthed before use. DC output connections should be made to the correct polarity and the output cable should be appropriately rated and protected with a fuse close to the battery terminals. For LiFePO4 batteries, confirm that the battery management system (BMS) is compatible with the charger's charge profile before connecting. Although the IP67 rating permits use in wet environments, the unit should not be permanently submerged. Installation in marine or vehicle applications should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine engineer familiar with the relevant wiring standards.
