Victron Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 16A 1 Bank 120V Charger - Dry Mount

The Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 16A 1 Bank 120V Charger - Dry Mount is the ultimate charging solution for marine and boating enthusiasts. Designed for reliability and efficiency, this professional-grade charger ensures your vessels' batteries are always ready, whether you're maintaining equipment in your workshop or powering up your motor vehicles, boats, or camper-vans.

Advanced Bluetooth Smart Connectivity

Stay connected and in control with the built-in Bluetooth functionality. Monitor voltage and current wirelessly, adjust settings remotely, and receive automatic charger updates when new features are released. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger integrates seamlessly with your mobile devices, providing real-time insights and convenience right at your fingertips.

Exceptional Efficiency for Marine Applications

Engineered for high efficiency, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger operates at up to 94% efficiency, generating up to four times less heat compared to standard chargers. This not only conserves energy but also extends the lifespan of your charger. Once your battery is fully charged, the power consumption drops to a minimal 0.5 Watt, significantly outperforming industry standards.

Adaptive 6-Stage Charge Algorithm

The intelligent microprocessor-controlled adaptive battery management system optimizes the charging process based on your battery usage. The six-stage algorithm includes:

1. Test
2. Bulk
3. Absorption
4. Recondition
5. Float
6. Storage

This ensures your marine batteries receive the precise charging they need, enhancing performance and longevity.

Optimized Storage Mode

When your boat or vehicle is not in use, the storage mode activates after 24 hours of no discharge. This mode reduces the float voltage to 2.2V per cell (13.2V for a 12V battery), minimizing gassing and corrosion of the battery plates. Weekly voltage equalization prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation, crucial for preventing early battery failure.

Versatile Battery Compatibility

In addition to traditional lead-acid batteries, the Blue Smart IP22 Charger also supports Li-ion batteries with a straightforward bulk – absorption – float charging algorithm. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of marine applications.

Robust Fully Discharged Battery Recovery

Even if your battery has been fully discharged to zero volts, the charger will initiate the recovery process. It can safely reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery equipped with an internal disconnect function, ensuring your batteries are always ready when you are.

Quiet Operation with NIGHT and LOW Settings

Minimize noise levels with the NIGHT and LOW settings. In NIGHT mode, the output current is reduced to a maximum of 50% of the nominal output and operates noiselessly for up to 8 hours automatically. The LOW mode allows for manual termination, providing flexibility based on your specific needs.

Overheating Protection

Safety is paramount with the Blue Smart IP22 Charger. It features an overheating protection mechanism that reduces the output current as the temperature rises up to 50°C, ensuring the charger remains functional without failure.

Comprehensive Status Indication

Stay informed with eleven LED indicators displaying the charge algorithm stages: TEST, BULK, ABSORPTION, RECONDITION, FLOAT, STORAGE, and READY. Use the MODE button to switch between NORMAL (14.4V), HIGH (14.7V), RECONDITION, and LI-ION settings, catering to various charging requirements.
