VICTRON BATTERY CHARGER 24V 5A BLUE SMART IP65

Features

The battery is charged, smartly... to perfect condition
The seven-step charging algorithm gets the best out of your battery. The charger gives the battery the power it needs,
maintains its health, ensures better performance... and a longer life.

Recovery of deeply-discharged 'dead' batteries
Unlike other brands, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger will attempt to recharge a deeply-discharged
battery by force-feeding it with a low current. Normal charging will then be resumed as soon as
there is sufficient voltage across the battery terminals.

Connect the battery with ease
The charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets - making it easy to connect to the
battery. If you wish, you can leave it permanently connected.

Check the status of your battery remotely
The Blue Smart IP65 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the
battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be
configured with the VictronConnect app.

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 60C,
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 not recognize, and therefore not recharge a battery
which has been discharged to zero or nearly zero Volts. The Blue Smart IP65 Charger 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.

Storage mode: less corrosion of the positive plates
Even the lower float charge voltage that follows the absorption period will cause grid corrosion.
It is therefore essential to reduce the charge voltage even further when the battery remains connected
to the charger during more than 48 hours.

Temperature compensated charging
The optimal charge voltage of a lead-acid battery varies inversely with temperature. The Blue Smart
IP65 Charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and compensates for temperature
during the charge process. The temperature is measured again when the charger is in low current mode
during float or storage. Special settings for a cold or hot environment are therefore not needed.

Li-ion battery mode
The Blue Smart IP65 Charger uses a specific charging algorithm for Li-ion (LiFePO?) batteries, with
automatic Li-ion under voltage protection reset.

The VictronConnect app
Setup, readout and configure your Blue Smart IP65 Charger via your smartphone. You can display
the status of your charger and battery and even control the functions of your charger using the
VictronConnect app. On your screen the readout of voltage and current is default available.
