Yes, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger is designed to attempt recovery of deeply-discharged batteries. It will initiate a low-current charge to bring the battery voltage up to a level where normal charging can safely resume. Is the CEE 7/17 plug suitable for use in the UK? The CEE 7/17 plug is a common European (Schuko-style) plug. While it fits standard European sockets, for use in the UK, an appropriate UK adapter or a compatible UK socket is required. Installation Notes Ensure the charger is placed in a well-ventilated area, even though it is IP65 rated. Connect the charger to the battery using the supplied crocodile clips or M8 eyelets, ensuring correct polarity. Plug the CEE 7/17 plug into a suitable 230V AC mains supply. For UK use, a certified adapter or compatible socket is necessary. Utilise the VictronConnect app for initial setup, battery type selection, and ongoing monitoring. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation and safety instructions. Before You Buy Battery Voltage: Confirm your battery system is 12V to match this charger's output. Charge Current Needs: Ensure the 10A charge current is appropriate for your battery bank size and charging speed requirements. Plug Compatibility: Verify the CEE 7/17 plug is suitable for your intended power outlet or if an adapter is needed for UK sockets. Environmental Conditions: While IP65 rated, consider the specific environmental conditions for optimal performance and longevity. Application: Confirm this charger meets the specific needs of your application (e.g., vehicle, marine, off-grid). Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
