• Adaptive 6-Stage Charging: Automatically adjusts the charging stages based on battery usage, ensuring precise and safe charging.
• Storage Mode: Extends battery life by minimizing maintenance and preventing sulfation during periods of inactivity.
• Li-ion Battery Compatibility: Supports charging for Li-ion batteries with a simplified charging algorithm.
• Fully Discharged Battery Recovery: Rejuvenates deeply discharged batteries, including those with internal disconnect features.
• Night and Low Modes: Operate silently with reduced current, perfect for overnight charging without disturbance.
• Overheat Protection: Automatically reduces output current to prevent overheating, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Comprehensive Status Indicators: Eleven LED indicators provide real-time information on charging stages and modes.

Bluetooth Smart Connectivity

Stay connected with the Blue Smart IP22 Charger through its built-in Bluetooth feature. Monitor voltage and current, adjust settings, and receive updates directly to your smartphone or tablet. This wireless capability allows for convenient management of your charging process from anywhere within the Bluetooth range.

High Efficiency

Experience superior efficiency with up to 94%, resulting in significantly less heat generation compared to standard chargers. When your battery reaches full charge, the power consumption drops to a minimal 0.5 Watt, ensuring energy savings and prolonged charger lifespan.

Adaptive 6-Stage Charge Algorithm

The microprocessor-controlled adaptive charging algorithm intelligently manages the charging process through six stages: Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Storage. This ensures that each battery is charged optimally based on its current state and usage patterns, enhancing performance and extending battery life.

Storage Mode

When your battery is not in use for 24 hours, the storage mode activates, reducing the float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion. This mode helps prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation, which are common causes of premature battery failure. Weekly voltage equalization maintains battery health during extended periods of inactivity.

Li-ion Battery Compatibility

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is versatile, supporting Li-ion batteries with a straightforward Bulk – Absorption – Float charging algorithm. This ensures safe and efficient charging for modern battery technologies used in various marine applications.

Fully Discharged Battery Recovery

Even if a battery is completely discharged to zero volts, the charger can initiate the charging process to recover it. This feature is compatible with Li-ion batteries that have an internal disconnect function, ensuring no damage occurs during recovery.

Night and Low Modes

For silent operation during nighttime or in quiet environments, the charger offers Night and Low modes. These modes reduce the output current to a maximum of 50% of the nominal output, ensuring a noiseless charging experience. The Night mode automatically deactivates after 8 hours, while the Low mode can be turned off manually.

Overheat Protection

Safety is paramount with the Blue Smart IP22 Charger. It features overheat protection that reduces the output current as the temperature approaches 50°C, preventing overheating and ensuring reliable operation even in high-temperature conditions.

Status Indicators

Stay informed about your charging process with eleven LED indicators that display the current charging stage: Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, Storage, and Ready. Additionally, use the MODE button to switch between Normal (14.4V), High (14.7V), Recondition, and Li-ion settings.
