Victron Blue Smart IP65 12V 25A Bluetooth Battery Charger

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/25 is a powerful mains battery charger for 12V lithium and lead acid battery systems, combining up to 25A charging with built in Bluetooth, adaptive charging and a rugged IP65 enclosure.

It is well suited to 4WDs, caravans, campers, boats, workshop use and battery maintenance where you want a portable charger that can be connected when required rather than permanently installed.

The charger includes interchangeable battery clamps and M8 ring terminals, allowing it to be used either as a temporary charger or connected more permanently to a battery system.

25A Smart Battery Charging

The Blue Smart IP65 12/25 can deliver up to 25A of charging current in normal operation. For smaller batteries, a 10A low current mode can be selected to reduce charging current and better match the battery capacity.

Victron recommends selecting the charge rate around the battery manufacturer's limits rather than automatically using the maximum 25A output.

Lithium & Lead Acid Compatible

Integrated charging modes are provided for common battery chemistries including flooded lead acid, AGM, Gel and LiFePO4. The charger uses a 7 stage adaptive algorithm for lead acid batteries and a dedicated 4 stage lithium charging profile.

Charge parameters can also be adjusted through VictronConnect where a battery manufacturer specifies different charging voltages or behaviour.

Built In Bluetooth & VictronConnect

Bluetooth is built directly into the charger, allowing setup and monitoring through the VictronConnect app.

From your phone or tablet you can view charge voltage and current, select charging modes, enable low current mode and access advanced charging settings without needing an additional interface. Settings are retained even when the charger is disconnected from mains power or the battery.

Recovery of Deeply Discharged Batteries

The Blue Smart IP65 can attempt to begin charging from a battery voltage as low as 0V, allowing it to recover some batteries that many conventional chargers will not recognise.

Whether a deeply discharged battery can be safely recovered depends on its chemistry, condition and BMS behaviour, so the battery manufacturer's guidance should always be followed.

Recondition Mode for Lead Acid Batteries

An optional Recondition stage is available for compatible lead acid batteries. This temporarily raises charging voltage to help address sulphation or cell imbalance in suitable batteries.

Recondition mode should only be used when required, as unnecessary or frequent use can shorten lead acid battery life. It is not used with the LiFePO4 charging profile.

Power Supply Mode

The Blue Smart IP65 can also operate as a configurable DC power supply. In Power Supply Mode the normal charging algorithm is disabled and the charger provides a constant DC output, allowing it to power suitable 12V equipment with or without a battery connected.

Temperature Compensated Charging

For lead acid batteries, charging voltage is automatically adjusted according to ambient temperature. This helps avoid overcharging in hot conditions or undercharging when temperatures are low. Temperature compensation is not applied in LiFePO4 mode.

IP65 & Fanless Cooling

The enclosure carries an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water spray, making it better suited to touring, workshop and marine environments than a typical indoor mains charger. Cooling is completely passive, with no fan or other moving parts.

Victron specifies full rated output up to 30°C ambient temperature, with output reduced as required at higher temperatures.

Interchangeable Battery Connections

A 1.5 metre battery lead is permanently connected to the charger and uses Victron's quick connection system at the battery end.

Both M8 ring terminals and battery clamps are included, so you can choose between a more permanent battery connection or temporary clamp connection. Additional connection accessories and extension leads are also available separately.

Recommended Battery Sizes

At the full 25A charge rate, Victron specifies approximately:

• 83Ah minimum for lead acid batteries

• 50Ah minimum for LiFePO4 batteries

• up to around 250Ah recommended battery capacity

In 10A low current mode, smaller batteries can be charged, with minimum capacities of approximately 33Ah for lead acid and 20Ah for LiFePO4. Always check the battery manufacturer's maximum recommended charge current.
