Technical Specifications Parameter Value Product Model BPC123047022 Output Voltage 12V DC Charging Current 30A Input Voltage 230V AC (180-265V AC range) Number of Outputs 1 Efficiency Up to 93% IP Rating IP22 (Indoor Use) Dimensions (H x W x D) 235 x 108 x 65 mm Weight 1.3 kg AC Connection 1.5m cable with UK 3-pin plug Charging & Battery Modes Mode Description Adaptive 6-Stage Microprocessor-controlled algorithm (Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, Storage) optimises charging based on battery usage. LiFePO₄ Charging Utilises a specific 3-stage algorithm (Bulk, Absorption, Float) for safe and effective charging of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. NIGHT Mode Reduces output current to max. 50% for silent operation; automatically ends after 8 hours. LOW Mode Similar to NIGHT mode, reducing output current for quietness, but can be ended manually. Storage Mode Reduces float voltage after 24 hours of inactivity to minimise gassing, corrosion, and prevent sulfation, extending battery life during storage. Typical Applications Application Description Campervans & Motorhomes Efficiently charges leisure batteries, ensuring reliable power for onboard systems during travel and stationary use. Marine Vessels Maintains boat service batteries, suitable for yachts, narrowboats, and other marine applications. Workshops & Garages Ideal for charging and maintaining batteries for classic cars, motorbikes, and other vehicles. Off-Grid Systems Provides reliable charging for smaller off-grid battery banks, ensuring consistent power availability. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger incorporates multiple safety features to protect both the charger and your batteries. These include overheating protection, which automatically reduces output current if the temperature exceeds 50°C. It also features reverse polarity protection, output short circuit protection, and spark-free connections for enhanced operational safety. The robust aluminium enclosure (RAL 5012 blue) provides durability for indoor installations. Common Questions What types of batteries can this charger handle? The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is compatible with a wide range of 12V batteries, including Wet, AGM, GEL lead-acid batteries, and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries. It features adaptive charging algorithms tailored for each battery chemistry. Can I monitor the charging process remotely? Yes, the charger has built-in Bluetooth Smart connectivity. You can use the free VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet to monitor charge status, voltage, current, and configure various settings. Is this charger suitable for outdoor use? No, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger has an IP22 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects over 12.5mm and dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees. It is designed for indoor use in dry environments like workshops, garages, or inside vehicles. Can I use this charger to power a 12V device directly? Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger can function as a stable DC power supply, providing a constant 13.8V output when not actively charging a battery. Installation Notes Ensure the charger is installed in a dry, well-ventilated indoor location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture, due to its IP22 rating. Connect the charger directly to the battery terminals using appropriate cable gauges (e.g., 16mm² / 6 AWG for 30A models) and ensure secure connections. Always connect the battery first, then the AC mains power. Disconnect in reverse order. For optimal performance and safety, consider installing a fuse or circuit breaker as close to the battery as practical. Utilise the VictronConnect app to configure specific battery types and charging parameters for tailored battery care. Before You Buy Verify your battery's voltage (must be 12V) and capacity to ensure it is within the recommended range for a 30A charger (e.g., 150-300Ah for lead-acid, 30-60Ah for Li-ion). Confirm the charger's IP22 rating is suitable for your intended installation environment. It is designed for indoor, dry locations. Ensure you have a compatible UK 3-pin mains power socket available. Consider if additional Victron accessories, such as a Smart Battery Sense or SmartShunt, would enhance your battery monitoring and system integration via VE.Smart Networking. Always consult the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation, safety, and operational guidelines. Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. This Victron product typically comes with a 5-year warranty.
