The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/25(1) is a single-output 25A charger for 12V battery systems, fitted with a CEE 7/16 (Europlug) 230V AC mains connector. Its IP65-rated housing is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets, so it can be mounted in an engine bay, locker or outdoor cabinet without a separate enclosure.

Key features of this Victron Blue Smart charger

• Charge current, 25A on a single output for 12V lead-acid and LiFePO4 battery banks.
• Enclosure, IP65 rated, dust-tight and splash-protected.
• Connectivity, Bluetooth built in, monitored and configured through the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.
• Charging logic, adaptive multi-stage algorithm with automatic battery type detection and a storage/maintenance mode.
• Mains input, CEE 7/16 (Europlug) 230V AC connector, wide input voltage tolerance for generator or shore power.
• DC output, direct-connect cable with ring terminals for permanent or semi-permanent wiring.

Battery compatibility

The charging algorithm covers flooded, AGM, gel and LiFePO4 chemistries. Settings are changed in the app rather than on the unit itself, and a storage mode applies a periodic recondition cycle once the battery has reached full charge.

Applications

Fits permanently in motorhomes, campervans and caravans on mains power, or on a boat charging a 12V service or starter bank from shore supply. It also suits off-grid cabins, outbuildings and vehicle fleets where a fixed, weather-resistant charger is needed, plus seasonal maintenance on boats or agricultural machinery.
