Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Charger 12V 30A

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger by Victron Energy is a highly efficient, professional-grade battery charger featuring integrated Bluetooth connectivity. Specially engineered for use in workshops, garages, classic cars, motorbikes, boats, caravans, and motorhomes, this charger provides dependable power delivery across a wide range of vehicle and backup power systems. Delivering an incredible efficiency level of up to 94%, it generates up to four times less heat than typical industry alternatives, dropping its standby power consumption to an ultra-low 0.5 Watts once the battery is fully topped off.

With its integrated Bluetooth chip, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger offers seamless wireless control and tracking. Use the free VictronConnect app on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to review live charging status, monitor active voltage and current, adjust performance settings, and easily update the unit's firmware as new features are released.

An intelligent, microprocessor-controlled "adaptive" battery management system drives a 6-stage charging cycle (Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Storage). It dynamically modifies parameters to suit your battery’s real-time discharge state. Crucially, the charger also supports a dedicated Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) charging profile, and its active recovery function can force-feed deeply discharged "dead" batteries from 0 Volts with a low current before switching back to normal operation.

Features

Smart Bluetooth Monitoring

Integrated Bluetooth enables wireless setup and status monitoring. Check battery voltage, current, and overall charge progress, or modify settings instantly without needing physical access to the device.

Adaptive 6-Stage Charging Algorithm

The microprocessor manages an advanced 6-stage process: Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Storage. This ensures your battery bank is charged safely and efficiently based on its exact discharge level.

Night and Low-Power Operation

Features a dedicated 'Night' or 'Low' mode that restricts the output current to a maximum of 50% of the nominal rating. In this state, the charger operates in near-silence with no internal fan noise. Night mode automatically ends after 8 hours.

High Efficiency and Thermal Management

Boasting a 93% efficiency rating, this unit runs cool. If the ambient temperature climbs above 40 C (104 F), the adaptive thermal management system automatically reduces output current to keep the device operating safely up to 50 C.

Storage Mode: Reduced Maintenance and Aging

Activates whenever the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. The storage voltage is dropped to 13.2V to minimize gassing and plate corrosion. Once a week, the voltage is temporarily raised to absorption level to equalize cells and prevent stratification.
