The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/15-3 is a professional-grade battery charger with built-in Bluetooth, designed for use in workshops and on a variety of motor vehicles, including classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and campervans. With its advanced features, this charger ensures efficient, precise charging while offering convenient remote monitoring and configuration via Bluetooth.
Key Features:
- Bluetooth Smart Connectivity: The charger includes wireless Bluetooth functionality, allowing users to monitor voltage and current, adjust settings, and update the charger as new features become available. This wireless control adds convenience and flexibility.
- High Efficiency: With up to 94% efficiency, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger generates up to four times less heat than traditional chargers, significantly improving energy efficiency. Once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to just a few watts—five to ten times more efficient than the industry standard.
- Fully Programmable Charge Algorithm: Users can customize the charger’s settings through the Bluetooth app. Parameters such as absorption, float, storage voltages, reconditioning settings, and temperature compensation values can be programmed. Enabling Expert Mode on the app unlocks access to adjust nearly all parameters and time limits used in the charging process.
- Adaptive 6-Stage Charging Algorithm: This charger uses a microprocessor-controlled adaptive battery management system. The algorithm adjusts the charging process to match how the battery is being used, optimizing the charge cycle for maximum efficiency. The six stages include: test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage.
- Li-ion Battery Charging Compatibility: The charger supports Li-ion batteries with a simple bulk-absorption-float charging algorithm, ensuring safe and efficient charging for these types of batteries.
- Fully Discharged Battery Recovery: The charger can recover fully discharged batteries, even those that have dropped to zero volts. It automatically starts charging, and it will reconnect to Li-ion batteries with an internal disconnect feature, ensuring they are safely recharged.
- NIGHT and LOW Modes: The Blue Smart IP22 Charger offers two quiet modes: NIGHT mode, which reduces the output current to a maximum of 50% for noiseless operation and ends automatically after 8 hours, and LOW mode, which also reduces the output current but can be manually ended as needed.
- Battery Sense Compatibility: For more accurate charging, the Victron Energy Battery Sense can be used to measure voltage directly at the battery bank terminals. This eliminates errors caused by voltage loss due to cable resistance, ensuring the correct charge voltage is applied for optimal performance.
The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/15-3 is a versatile and efficient charger suitable for various applications, offering precise, programmable charging, remote monitoring via Bluetooth, and support for both lead-acid and Li-ion batteries.
