It connects via a standard UK BS 1363 plug and is built to IP67 standard, making it suitable for use in wet, dusty or exposed environments. It is aimed at marine, vehicle, off-grid and professional workshop applications where a reliable, weatherproof charger is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67-rated enclosure: fully dustproof and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows monitoring and configuration via the Victron VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, without any additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive multi-stage charging algorithm automatically adjusts charge profile to suit battery condition and type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode reduces charge voltage to minimise battery degradation during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging adjusts output voltage based on ambient temperature to protect battery health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready for direct connection to a standard UK socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Smart IP67 range is Victron's sealed charger line, built for environments where moisture, dust and condensation are a regular concern. The IP67 rating means the unit can withstand temporary submersion, which makes it a practical choice for bilge areas on boats, engine bays, outdoor plant equipment and any installation where the charger cannot be kept in a dry cabinet. The aluminium housing also acts as a heat sink, allowing the unit to run at full output without forced cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 17 amps output, this charger is suited to 12V battery banks in the range of approximately 40Ah to 200Ah, covering the majority of leisure, marine and light commercial applications. The Bluetooth interface is built directly into the charger, so there is no need for a separate dongle or communication module. Through VictronConnect, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge algorithm, set battery capacity, and review historical charge data. This is particularly useful for remote or hard-to-access installations where visual inspection of the charger is not straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptive charging algorithm monitors battery response during each charge phase and adjusts accordingly. This means a deeply discharged battery receives a different charge profile than one that is already partially charged, reducing stress on the cells and extending service life. The storage mode, which activates automatically after a full charge cycle, holds the battery at an optimal float voltage and periodically applies a short absorption pulse to counteract self-discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC121747026\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 17A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 230V AC (UK BS 1363 plug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP67\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076055303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat battery charging, including bilge and engine bay installations where moisture exposure is likely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome, campervan and caravan leisure battery maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin or outbuilding battery systems charged from mains when available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAgricultural and construction plant equipment with 12V battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop battery charging for fleet vehicles and service environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-term battery storage maintenance where automatic storage mode is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12\/17 (1 output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug (fitted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug and does not require hardwiring. DC output connections to the battery should be made using appropriately rated cable and terminals for a 17A continuous load. Ensure the battery chemistry setting in VictronConnect is configured correctly before first use, particularly when charging lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, as incorrect settings can affect battery safety and longevity. Although the IP67 rating provides protection against water ingress, the unit should not be permanently submerged. For installations on vessels or in commercial vehicles, ensure the mounting location allows adequate ventilation around the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59866750222670,"sku":"BPC121747026","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC121747026_-_Blue_Smart_IP67_Charger_12-17_1_230V_UK.webp?v=1781200278","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip67-charger-12v-17a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
