xVictron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24V/12A (1 Output) 230V UK Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP67 24/12 is a single-output, 12-amp battery charger rated for 24V battery banks, supplied with a UK BS 1363 mains plug. It is designed for professional and trade use in environments where moisture and dust ingress are a concern, making it suitable for marine, automotive, and off-grid installations where a sealed charger is required.
Key Features
- IP67-rated enclosure: fully dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre depth.
- Bluetooth built-in: monitor and configure the charger via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android without additional hardware.
- Adaptive 7-stage charging algorithm: bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation, and recondition modes for optimised battery care.
- Compatible with a wide range of 24V battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) with correct configuration.
- Single output at 12A continuous charge current for 24V battery banks.
- 230V AC input with UK BS 1363 plug fitted as standard, ready for direct UK mains connection.
- Temperature-compensated charging when used with an optional Victron temperature sensor.
- Compact and fully sealed construction suitable for permanent or semi-permanent installation in harsh environments.
Product Overview
The IP67 rating sets this charger apart from standard workshop or domestic units. The enclosure is fully sealed against dust and can withstand submersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. This makes it a practical choice for bilge areas on boats, underseat installations in vehicles, and outdoor enclosures where condensation or water splash is likely. The charger does not require a separate protective housing in most of these environments.
Bluetooth connectivity is integrated directly into the unit. Using the VictronConnect app, an installer can view real-time charge status, adjust battery type presets, set charge voltage thresholds, and review historical data. This removes the need for a dedicated display or additional monitoring hardware. Configuration changes can be made from a phone or tablet without opening any enclosure or disconnecting the charger.
The 7-stage adaptive charging algorithm manages the full charge cycle from bulk through to long-term storage mode. The charger automatically reduces to a storage voltage after a period in float, which reduces grid consumption and extends battery life during prolonged periods of inactivity. For lithium batteries, the correct preset must be selected via VictronConnect before use.

Installation Notes
This charger connects directly to a standard UK 230V mains socket via the fitted BS 1363 plug. DC output connections should be made to the battery terminals using appropriately rated cable and fusing in line with the battery manufacturer's recommendations. For lithium battery installations, the correct battery preset must be configured in VictronConnect before the charger is put into service. Although the IP67 rating provides strong environmental protection, the unit should be mounted in a ventilated location where heat can dissipate. Installation in a confined sealed box without airflow is not recommended. For permanent vehicle or marine installations, a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician should carry out the DC wiring.
