Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20-1 – BPC122042022

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20 (1) is a professional-grade, high-efficiency battery charger with built-in Bluetooth functionality. It is designed for use on a wide range of devices, including motor vehicles like classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and campervans. The charger offers various advanced features, ensuring efficient, precise charging, and flexibility in monitoring and configuration.

Key Features:

• Bluetooth Smart Connectivity: The charger includes built-in Bluetooth, enabling wireless monitoring of voltage and current. You can also change settings and receive updates on new features directly from the charger via the Bluetooth app.
• High Efficiency: With up to 94% efficiency, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20 (1) generates significantly less heat than conventional chargers—up to four times less. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger reduces power consumption to a mere few watts, which is five to ten times more efficient than industry standards.
• Fully Programmable Charging Algorithm: Users can customize key charging settings through the Bluetooth app. This includes adjusting absorption, float, and storage voltages, as well as reconditioning settings and temperature compensation values. By enabling Expert Mode, users gain the ability to fine-tune nearly all parameters and time limits involved in the charging process.
• Adaptive 6-Stage Charging Algorithm: The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20 (1) uses a microprocessor-controlled adaptive charging system. The six stages include: test, bulk, absorption, recondition, float, and storage. The charger automatically optimizes its charging process depending on the battery’s usage, ensuring the most efficient charge cycle.
• Li-ion Battery Charging Capability: The charger is fully compatible with Li-ion batteries and utilizes a simple bulk, absorption, and float charging algorithm. This ensures safe and efficient charging of Li-ion batteries, with the added benefit of preventing damage to the battery’s internal components.
• Fully Discharged Battery Recovery: The charger is designed to recover deeply discharged batteries, even those that have been reduced to zero volts. It will initiate the charging process, and once sufficient voltage is detected, normal charging resumes. It can also reconnect to Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect functionality.
• NIGHT and LOW Modes: The charger offers two specialized modes for quieter operation: NIGHT mode reduces the output current to a maximum of 50% of the nominal output and operates noiselessly. This mode automatically ends after 8 hours. LOW mode also reduces the output current, but can be manually deactivated, offering greater flexibility for different environments.
• Improved Charging Accuracy with Battery Sense: To enhance charging precision, the Victron Energy Battery Sense can be added. This device measures the voltage directly at the battery terminals, minimizing errors caused by voltage loss due to cable resistance and ensuring the charger applies the correct voltage for optimal charging.

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20 (1) is an efficient, adaptable, and convenient charging solution that ensures batteries are kept in peak condition, making it ideal for use across a wide range of applications, from workshop equipment to motor vehicles.
