The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 6V/12V 1.1A is a compact, weatherproof charger for 6V and 12V lead-acid and lithium batteries. It plugs straight into a standard UK BS 1363 socket and is controlled from the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, making it a practical maintenance charger for smaller battery banks such as motorcycles, garden machinery and seasonal vehicles.

Product overview

The charger works through conditioning, bulk, absorption and float phases automatically. Once at float voltage for 24 hours, storage mode lowers the charge level to limit electrolyte loss and plate stress, which suits batteries that sit unused for long periods.

VictronConnect lets you select the correct battery type and voltage, adjust charge settings and check charge history, useful when the charger sits somewhere its LEDs are hard to see. The IP65 rating means it can be fitted in an engine bay, outbuilding or bilge area without extra weatherproofing. It runs from 230V AC mains and is part of the Victron VE.Direct accessory ecosystem.

Applications

Suits motorcycle and scooter batteries over winter, ride-on mower and garden machinery batteries, jet ski and small outboard boat batteries, caravan habitation top-up charging, and classic or seasonal vehicles kept in a garage.
