Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger 12V/25 120V NEMA 5-15 | BPC122547106
Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger 12V/25 120V NEMA 5-15 | BPC122547106
Bluetooth Smart enabled
The Blue Smart IP67 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger when new features become available. With Bluetooth, the functionality of the IP67 charger is enhanced and is similar to that of our IP22 and IP65 chargers.
Completely encapsulated: waterproof, shockproof and ignition protected
Yellow LED: bulk charge (blinking fast), absorption (blinking slow), float (solid), storage (off)
Green LED: power on

'Must know’ features and facts
Blue Smart version
Ultra high efficiency “green” battery charger
With up to 95 % efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0.5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
Durable, safe and silent
- Low thermal stress on the electronic components.
- Protection against ingress of dust, water and chemicals.
- Protection against overheating: the output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60 °C (140 °F), but the charger will not fail.
- The chargers are totally silent: no cooling fan or any other moving parts.
Reverse polarity protected
- Bulk or constant-current charge
- Absorption or topping charge
- Float charge.
Several hours of absorption charge are needed to fully charge the battery and prevent early failure to sulfation¹.
The relatively high voltage during absorption does however accelerate aging due to grid corrosion on the positive plates.
Adaptive Battery Management limits corrosion by reducing
absorption time when possible, that is: when charging a battery that is already (nearly) fully charged.
Storage mode: less corrosion of the positive plates
Even the lower float charge voltage that follows the absorption period will cause grid corrosion. It is therefore essential to reduce the charge voltage even further when the battery remains connected to the charger during more than 48 hours.
