Technical Specifications Parameter Value Output Voltage 12V Charge Current 20A Input Voltage 230V AC (UK Plug) Number of Outputs 3 (Isolated) Can Be Used As Power Supply Yes Protection Category IP22 Efficiency Up to 94% Bluetooth Enabled Yes (Bluetooth Smart) Dimensions (H x W x D) 235 x 108 x 65 mm Weight 1.3 kg Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) BPC122043022 Charging & Output Modes Mode/Feature Description Adaptive 6-Stage Algorithm Microprocessor-controlled 'adaptive' battery management optimises charging based on battery usage: Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, Storage. Storage Mode Reduces float voltage to minimise gassing and corrosion during long periods of inactivity, with weekly equalisation to prevent stratification and sulfation. Li-ion Charging Charges Li-ion batteries using a simple Bulk – Absorption – Float algorithm. Battery Recovery Function Initiates charging even if a battery has been discharged to zero volts, and can reconnect to Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect functions. NIGHT & LOW Settings Reduces output current to 50% for noiseless operation, ideal for overnight charging or quiet environments. VE.Smart Networking Wireless device-to-device communication network for Victron products, enabling optimised charging with Smart Battery Sense or SmartShunt. Synchronized Parallel Charging Synchronise up to ten chargers in a VE.Smart network to function as one large charger, offering redundancy and flexibility. Typical Applications Application Description Motor Vehicles Ideal for charging batteries in classic cars, motorbikes, and other recreational vehicles. Marine & Leisure Suitable for boats, yachts, campervans, and caravans, ensuring reliable power for leisure activities. Off-Grid Systems Maintains battery health in various off-grid setups, providing consistent and efficient charging. Workshop & Home Use Versatile for general battery maintenance and charging tasks in workshops or domestic environments. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Blue Smart IP22 charger incorporates several safety features to protect both the unit and connected batteries. These include protection against overheating, where the output current reduces as temperature increases up to 50 °C to prevent damage. It also features safeguards against battery reverse polarity and output short circuits, ensuring safe and reliable operation. Common Questions What types of batteries can this charger handle? The Victron Blue Smart IP22 charger is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid, AGM, GEL, and Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, thanks to its adaptive charging algorithm. Can I monitor the charging process remotely? Yes, with built-in Bluetooth Smart, you can monitor battery voltage, current, and change settings remotely using the free VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet. What does the IP22 rating mean for installation? An IP22 rating indicates that the charger is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and against vertically falling water drops when the enclosure is tilted up to 15 degrees. This makes it suitable for indoor or sheltered installations, protecting it from dust and light water spray. Can this charger be used as a power supply? Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/20 (3) can function as a dedicated power supply, providing a stable 12V output for various devices. Installation Notes Ensure the charger is mounted vertically with terminals facing downwards in a suitable, non-combustible location. Allow at least 10 cm of free space around the charger for adequate natural air circulation and ventilation. Do not install the charger on or directly above a battery, or in a sealed battery compartment. Connect the DC battery cables securely to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific torque settings and cable gauge recommendations. Connect the supplied 230V AC cable with the UK plug to a standard mains power socket. Before You Buy Verify the charger's 12V output and 20A current rating meet your battery system's requirements. Confirm the number of outputs (3 isolated) is suitable for your application. Ensure you have a 230V AC mains power supply with a compatible UK socket. Consider the IP22 rating for your intended installation environment; it is designed for indoor or sheltered use. Familiarise yourself with the VictronConnect app for optimal use of Bluetooth features. Always consult the official Victron Energy product manual for detailed installation, operation, and safety guidelines. Victron Energy products typically come with a 5-year warranty.
