The Victron Smart IP43 Charger 36/15(1) is a single-output battery charger delivering 36V at 15A, built for 36V battery banks in marine, vehicle and off-grid systems. It accepts AC input from 120 to 240V, so it works across UK, European and North American mains supplies without modification.

Key features of the Victron Smart IP43 charger

• Output, 36V at 15A through a single output channel.
• AC input range, 120 to 240V, no need for a separate model per region.
• Enclosure, IP43 rated, protecting against solid objects over 1mm and water spray up to 60 degrees from vertical.
• Bluetooth monitoring, built-in Bluetooth links to the VictronConnect app for live monitoring and configuration, no dongle needed.
• Charging algorithm, adaptive multi-stage charging adjusts the profile to battery condition, shortening absorption for a quickly-charged battery and lengthening it after a deep discharge.
• Battery compatibility, selectable profiles for lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid batteries.
• Storage mode, float voltage drops automatically after 24 hours to reduce stress during long-term storage.

Where it fits

The 36V output suits traction, leisure and industrial battery banks where a 12V or 24V charger will not do the job. Typical uses include narrowboat and marine 36V house systems, electric vehicle auxiliary charging, industrial equipment running on 36V supplies, and workshop charging stations where mains voltage varies between 120V and 240V.

Installation notes

The IP43 rating covers sheltered indoor spaces such as engine rooms, battery compartments and utility areas, not locations exposed to direct rain or wash-down. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or someone competent with battery systems and AC wiring. Confirm the AC supply is correctly fused and the battery bank matches the 36V output before connecting, and set the correct chemistry profile in VictronConnect before first use.
