The Victron Blue Smart IP22 24/12 is a single-output battery charger rated at 24V and 12A, fitted with a UK BS 1363 plug for 230V mains supplies. Bluetooth is built in, so charge settings and status can be managed from a phone without extra hardware.

Key features

• Bluetooth built-in, configure and monitor via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, no dongle needed
• Charging algorithm, adaptive 7-stage process covering bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition
• Battery compatibility, GEL, AGM, Tubular Plate and LiFePO4 chemistries
• Enclosure rating, IP22, protected against solid objects over 12.5mm and direct water spray
• Output, single bank, 12A on a 24V system
• Storage mode, reduces float voltage after 24 hours to limit degradation in long-term storage

Product overview

The adaptive algorithm adjusts absorption time to actual battery condition rather than a fixed timer, so a deeply discharged battery gets a full cycle while a healthy one moves to float sooner. The 24V/12A output delivers up to 288W of charging power, suited to medium-capacity 24V banks in motorhomes, boats and off-grid cabins.

VictronConnect lets an installer select battery type and capacity, adjust charge voltages, and review real-time and historical charge data directly on site, without additional interfaces.

IP22 rating in context

IP22 suits enclosed spaces such as battery compartments, van conversions and engine rooms. It is not intended for direct water ingress or submersion; a wash-down or fully outdoor location calls for a higher-rated charger.

Applications

• Charging 24V battery banks in motorhomes and campervans
• Marine leisure battery maintenance on 24V systems
• Off-grid cabin or shed battery charging from 230V mains or generator
• Workshop maintenance of 24V lead-acid and lithium packs
• Long-term storage charging for seasonal vehicles and equipment

What's in the box

• Victron Blue Smart IP22 24/12 charger (1 output)
• UK BS 1363 mains plug, pre-fitted

Installation notes

Connect to a standard 230V UK socket; no specialist electrical work is needed for basic use. Confirm the battery bank matches the 24V output before connecting, and select the correct profile in VictronConnect for LiFePO4 batteries. Fixed vehicle or marine wiring should be connected by someone familiar with 24V DC systems, observing correct polarity and using suitably rated DC fusing between charger and battery.
