The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/10 is a single-output battery charger with Bluetooth built in, rated at 12V and 10A output. It suits workshop use, vehicles, boats and off-grid battery maintenance wherever a dust- and splash-proof charger is needed. The IP65 enclosure covers situations where a standard charger would not hold up.

How the charging cycle works

Each cycle starts with a battery condition check. A recondition pulse is applied if sulphation is detected, then the charger moves through bulk, absorption and float phases before dropping to storage voltage. VictronConnect lets you pick the right battery profile, watch charge data as it happens, and check logs or fault alerts without needing physical access to the unit. The DC output connector works with Victron's DC cable accessories, so a permanent installation with a quick-disconnect lead to the battery is straightforward.

Applications

• Charging and maintaining 12V lead-acid or LiFePO4 batteries in campervans, motorhomes and caravans.
• Workshop charging where dust and occasional moisture are present.
• Marine use in engine compartments or deck lockers.
• Agricultural and plant machinery batteries stored between seasons.
• Off-grid cabins and outbuildings with a 230V supply.
