Product Details
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/25 represents professional-grade battery charging technology with integrated Bluetooth connectivity. Designed for trade and business applications, this 25A charger delivers intelligent charging for workshop environments and motor vehicles including classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and camper-vans.
The seven-step charging algorithm optimises battery performance by delivering precisely the power your battery needs, maintaining health, and extending service life. This intelligent charging system adapts to battery conditions, ensuring superior performance compared to conventional chargers that use fixed charging profiles.
With an IP65 protection rating, this charger offers complete protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for harsh marine and outdoor environments. The robust construction weighs 1.9kg with compact dimensions of 240mm x 140mm x 75mm, allowing easy installation in confined spaces whilst maintaining professional build quality.
The charger recovers deeply-discharged batteries that other brands abandon. By force-feeding a low current to 'dead' batteries, it restores voltage levels before resuming normal charging. This recovery capability protects your investment in expensive batteries and reduces replacement costs.
Built-in Bluetooth technology connects to the free VictronConnect app, giving you complete control from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Monitor charge status, battery voltage, and temperature in real-time. Configure all charger settings remotely, including charge voltages, absorption time, and recondition modes. The app also provides free firmware updates throughout the charger's life.
The charger includes both crocodile clips and M8 eyelet connectors in the 1.5m output cable, offering flexibility for temporary or permanent installation. Leave it connected long-term without concern as the charger maintains batteries at optimal storage voltage without overcharging.
A dedicated Li-ion battery mode uses specific charging algorithms for lithium batteries with automatic under-voltage protection reset. The charger also features a recondition mode that addresses sulfation in lead-acid batteries, restoring capacity lost through insufficient charging or extended storage.
Operating from 230V UK mains supply, this charger delivers consistent 25A charge current in normal mode, suitable for batteries up to 300Ah capacity. The completely silent operation, with no fans or moving parts, makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments. If the charger reaches elevated temperatures, output current adjusts automatically to prevent damage, ensuring reliability and longevity.
Protection features include reverse polarity safeguards, short circuit protection, and over-temperature management. This comprehensive protection suite ensures safe operation even in demanding professional environments.
Backed by Victron's industry-leading five-year warranty and supported by a global network of service centres, this charger represents a dependable long-term investment for professional battery maintenance.
