Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger 24/8(1) 120V NEMA 5-15

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a new professional battery charger with built-in Bluetooth. It is suitable for use on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, including classic cars, motorbikes, boats, and camper-vans.

Bluetooth Smart
The wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, change settings, and update the charger when new features become available.

High Efficiency
With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers produce up to four times less heat compared to the industry standard. Once the battery is fully charged, power consumption drops to 0.5 watts, which is five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 6-Stage Charge Algorithm: Test – Bulk – Absorption – Recondition – Float – Storage
The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor-controlled adaptive battery management system. This system optimizes the charging process based on battery usage.

Fully Programmable Charge Algorithm
You can program the absorption, float, and storage voltages, as well as the recondition setting and temperature compensation value using the Bluetooth app. Expert mode in the app allows for changing almost all parameters and time limits used by the charge algorithm.

Storage Mode: Less Maintenance and Aging
Storage mode activates when the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. In this mode, float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion. Once a week, the voltage is raised to the absorption level to equalize the battery, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation.

Also Charges Li-ion Batteries
Li-ion batteries are charged with a simple bulk-absorption-float algorithm.

Fully Discharged Battery Recovery Function
This function initiates charging even if the battery is completely discharged. It reconnects to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an internal disconnect function.

NIGHT and LOW Setting
In NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to a maximum of 50% of the nominal output, making the charger completely noiseless. NIGHT mode ends automatically after 8 hours, while LOW mode can be ended manually.

Protected Against Overheating
Output current reduces as the temperature increases up to 50 °C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.

Eleven LEDs for Status Indication
Charge algorithm status is shown with LEDs: TEST / BULK / ABSORPTION / RECONDITION / FLOAT / STORAGE / READY. A MODE button sets: NORMAL (14.4 V) / HIGH (14.7 V) / RECONDITION / LI-ION.

Forty Cycle History Log
The history screen shows usage data over the charger’s lifetime and detailed statistics for the last 40 charge cycles.

VE.Smart Networking
The VE.Smart Network is a wireless device-to-device (D2D) communication network between Victron products using Bluetooth Smart.

Optional Battery Voltage and Temperature Compensation, and Current Sensing
The VE.Smart Network allows for optimizing the charge process using Smart Battery Sense, Smart Battery Monitor, or SmartShunt to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more battery chargers. A Smart Battery Monitor or SmartShunt also communicates battery current.

Synchronized Parallel Charging
Synchronize up to ten battery chargers in a VE.Smart network to charge a battery as if they were one large charger. The chargers synchronize the charge algorithm and switch from one charge state to another simultaneously. Advantages include:

• Redundancy: If one charger stops, the others continue to operate.
• Flexibility: Easily add a charger to the network if more current is needed.
• Cost: Several low-power chargers generally cost less than one high-power charger.
• Installation: Several low-power chargers may fit better in confined spaces.
