Detailed description

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger is a professional charging solution designed for 12V batteries, delivering a current of 4A. Part of Victron Energy’s Blue Smart IP65 range, this model stands out for its robustness and advanced features, ideal for marine environments, workshops, or various motorized vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and motorhomes. Its IP65 waterproof design makes it resistant to water, dust, and chemicals, ensuring long-term durability in demanding conditions.

Adaptive Charging Algorithm and Smart Connectivity

This charger uses a seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm to optimize battery condition, extend its lifespan, and ensure stable performance. It includes specific modes for lead-acid batteries (normal, high) and lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO₄), with automatic protection against Li-ion undervoltage. A notable feature is its ability to recover deeply discharged batteries, a functionality often absent in other chargers that are protected against reverse polarity. Bluetooth Smart connectivity, via the VictronConnect app, allows real-time monitoring of voltage and current, as well as full configuration of charging parameters from a smartphone or tablet, offering superior flexibility compared to many competing models without this interface.

Technical Performance and Reliability

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s Charger 12/4 achieves energy efficiency of up to 95%, generating up to four times less heat than standard chargers and reducing standby consumption to less than 0.5 watts, which is 5 to 10 times better than the market average. It features automatic temperature compensation for lead-acid batteries, adjusting charging voltage based on ambient conditions (operating range from -40 to +60°C). The automatic power supply function and low-current mode for small batteries highlight its versatility. Its fanless design ensures completely silent operation, and it includes comprehensive protections against reverse polarity, output short circuits, and overheating, guaranteeing operational reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What types of batteries can the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger charge?

This charger is designed to charge lead-acid batteries (including flooded, GEL, AGM batteries) as well as 12V lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries.

What is the maximum charging power of this device?

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger delivers a maximum charging current of 4 amperes (4A).

What does the IP65 protection rating mean for this charger?

The IP65 rating means the charger is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is also resistant to chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments such as marine settings or workshops.

Does the charger have a reconditioning function for old batteries?

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger includes a reconditioning function. This function can help reverse sulfation in lead-acid batteries that have been undercharged or left discharged for extended periods, thereby extending their lifespan.

Can I monitor and control the charger using my smartphone?

Yes, with the integrated Bluetooth Smart connectivity, you can monitor the charge status, voltage, and current, as well as configure charger settings via the VictronConnect app, available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.

What is the operating temperature range of this charger?

The charger can operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +60°C. It can deliver its full rated power up to 30°C.

What is the energy efficiency of this charger and its standby power consumption?

This charger has a high energy efficiency of up to 94%. Its power consumption in standby mode is very low, less than 0.5 Watt, making it highly energy-efficient.

What are the lengths of the AC and DC cables included with the charger?

The charger comes with a 1.5-meter battery connection cable (DC) and a 1.5-meter mains connection cable (AC).

Is the charger protected against reverse polarity?

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger is equipped with reverse polarity protection. If the battery is connected incorrectly, all status LEDs will flash and no sparking will occur.

Can this charger recharge a completely discharged battery?

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger can attempt to recharge a battery even if it is discharged to zero or nearly zero volts, by using a low initial current before resuming normal charging once sufficient voltage is detected.

What charging algorithm does this charger use?

The charger uses a seven-stage intelligent adaptive charging algorithm optimized to extend battery life and ensure efficient charging.

Is there a low-current mode for charging small batteries?

Yes, the charger has a low-current mode that reduces the charging current to 2 amperes (2A), ideal for safely charging smaller-capacity batteries.

Does the charger compensate for ambient temperature during charging?

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s 12/4 charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and adjusts the charging voltage accordingly for lead-acid batteries, ensuring optimal charging regardless of temperature.

What battery capacities (Ah) are recommended for this 12V/4A charger?

This charger is recommended for batteries with a capacity between 20 Ah and 50 Ah. It can be used with other sizes, but the charging time may be longer.

Is this charger suitable for use in marine environments?

Yes, with its IP65 protection rating, the charger is resistant to water, dust, and chemicals, making it perfectly suited and durable for demanding marine environments.
