Victron Energy Automotive Blue Smart IP65s Charger 12V 5A 230V for Lead Acid, AGM and Lithium Ion Car Batteries VICTRON ENERGY Victron Energy Automotive Blue Smart IP65s Charger 12V 5A 230V

The Blue Smart IP65 Charger series is a professional battery charger that has built-in Bluetooth connectivity so you can monitor the status of the charger and the battery from the convenience of your devices such as smartphones, tablets or laptops.

All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app.

The Blue Smart IP65 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as cars, motorbikes, yachts, boats, tractors and camper-vans.

The charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets, making it easy for you to connect to the battery.

This quality Victron Energy product also comes with 5-Years Warranty so you can absolutely count on the quality and reliability.

Water, dust and chemical resistant

Seven step smart charge algorithm

Recovery of fully discharged "dead" batteries

Automatic power supply function

Severe cold performance: down to -30°C

Several other battery life enhancing features

Low power mode to charge smaller batteries

Li-ion battery mode

Ultra high efficiency 'green' battery charger

With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0.5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Durable, safe and silent

Low thermal stress on the electronic components.

Protection against ingress of dust, water and chemicals.

Protection against overheating: the output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.

The chargers are totally silent: no cooling fan or any other moving parts.

Reconditioning

A lead-acid battery that has been insufficiently charged or has been left discharged during days or weeks will deteriorate due to sulfation. If caught in time, sulfation can sometimes be partially reversed by charging the battery with low current up to a higher voltage.

Recovery function for fully discharged batteries

Most reverse polarity protected chargers will notr ecognize, and therefore not recharge a battery which has been discharged to zero or nearly zero Volts. The Blue Smart IP65Charger however will attempt to recharge a fully discharged battery with low current and resume normal charging once sufficient voltage has developed across the battery terminals.
