The Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/15 is a high-performance, professional battery charger designed for use in workshops and on various motor vehicles, including classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and campervans. This charger features built-in Bluetooth for convenient remote monitoring and control, along with a range of advanced charging features to optimize battery performance, health, and longevity.
Key Features:
- Advanced Seven-Step Charging Algorithm: The charger uses a precise seven-step charging process to ensure that the battery is charged in the best possible way. This method maintains battery health, improves performance, and extends its lifespan by providing the right amount of charge at every stage.
- Deep Battery Recovery: The Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/15 is equipped to recover deeply discharged “dead” batteries by initially supplying a low current. This process helps restore the battery’s voltage, and once it reaches a sufficient level, normal charging resumes, reviving the battery.
- Reconditioning for Lead-Acid Batteries: Lead-acid batteries that have been left insufficiently charged or discharged for long periods often develop sulfation, which can reduce their capacity. If caught early, sulfation can be partially reversed by charging the battery with a low current up to a higher voltage, restoring some of the battery’s performance.
- Easy Battery Connection: This charger comes with both crocodile clips and M8 eyelets, offering flexible and easy connection options for various types of batteries. It can also be left permanently connected for ongoing charging and maintenance without the need for constant reconnection.
- Remote Monitoring with Built-in Bluetooth: The charger includes built-in Bluetooth, allowing users to monitor the charging process and check the battery status remotely via a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The VictronConnect app enables users to configure the charger’s settings and make adjustments as needed.
- Li-ion Battery Charging Mode: The Blue Smart IP65 Charger is equipped with a specialized charging algorithm designed for Li-ion batteries. This mode includes automatic under-voltage protection reset to ensure safe and proper charging for Li-ion batteries.
- Improved Charging Accuracy with Battery Sense: For improved charging precision, Victron Energy Battery Sense can be added to measure voltage directly at the battery terminals. This helps eliminate errors caused by voltage loss due to cable resistance, ensuring the charger applies the correct charging voltage.
The Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/15 is a reliable and versatile solution for maintaining and charging a variety of batteries. Whether you’re maintaining batteries in a workshop or on vehicles, it provides smart charging, deep recovery, and remote management features to ensure batteries are kept in optimal condition.
