Blue Smart IP65s 12/5

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s Charger 12/5 is an intelligent and rugged charging solution designed for battery maintenance and charging in demanding environments. It is ideal for use in workshops, classic vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and motorhomes, providing protection against water, dust, and chemicals.

This charger is compatible with a wide range of batteries, including:

Lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM, Gel) Lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO₄)

The charger uses a 7-stage adaptive charging algorithm. This algorithm is optimized to extend battery life by adapting the charge based on battery state, preventing sulfation and positive plate corrosion.

The IP65 rating means the charger is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is water-resistant, dust-resistant, and chemical-resistant, making it suitable for harsh environments.

No, this charger is designed without a fan. It operates silently and its fanless design enhances durability by reducing thermal stress on electronic components.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP65s charger can attempt to recharge a completely discharged battery (down to 0 Volt) with a low current, then resume normal charging once sufficient voltage is established at the battery terminals.

Storage mode is a function that reduces the charging voltage when the battery remains connected to the charger for more than 48 hours. This minimizes corrosion of the positive plates and extends battery life, even during prolonged connection.

The reconditioning function is designed to partially reverse lead-acid battery sulfation that occurs when batteries are insufficiently charged or left discharged for an extended period. It charges the battery with a low current up to a higher voltage to attempt to restore its capacity.

This charger can operate within an extended temperature range from -40°C to +60°C. It delivers its full nominal power up to 30°C, and its cables remain flexible even at low temperatures.

The Victron Blue Smart IP65s charger delivers very high efficiency, reaching up to 95%. Once the battery is fully charged, its standby power consumption is very low, under 0.5 Watt.

For the Victron Blue Smart IP65s 12V 5A charger, the recommended battery size is 20 to 50 Ah for optimal and efficient charging.

The charger includes Bluetooth Smart, allowing you to fully manage and control it via the VictronConnect app. You can monitor charge status and battery data, as well as configure charger settings from a smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android).

The charger operates within an input voltage and frequency range of 100 to 250 VAC and 45 to 65 Hz, making it compatible with most standard power outlets.

The charger comes with 1.5-meter black and red battery cables. It includes clamps and M8 eyelets to facilitate connection to different battery terminals.

Pour connecter le chargeur à une batterie dans un véhicule :

Assurez-vous que le cordon AC est débranché de la prise électrique.Connectez la pince POSITIVE (ROUGE) du chargeur à la borne POSITIVE (POS, P, +) non mise à la masse de la batterie.Connectez la pince NÉGATIVE (NOIRE) au châssis ou au bloc moteur du véhicule, loin de la batterie.Connectez le cordon AC à la prise murale.Pour déconnecter, suivez l'ordre inverse : débranchez le cordon AC, retirez la pince du châssis, puis retirez la pince de la borne de la batterie.

Pour connecter le chargeur à une batterie hors d'un véhicule :

Assurez-vous que le cordon AC est débranché de la prise électrique.Connectez la pince POSITIVE (ROUGE) du chargeur à la borne POSITIVE (POS, P, +) de la batterie.Connectez la pince NÉGATIVE (NOIRE) du chargeur à la borne NÉGATIVE (NEG, N, –) de la batterie.Connectez le cordon AC à la prise murale.Pour déconnecter, suivez l'ordre inverse : débranchez le cordon AC, retirez la pince de la borne NÉGATIVE, puis retirez la pince de la borne POSITIVE.

To activate low-current mode, hold the MODE button down for 3 seconds. The MODE LED will flash to indicate low-current mode is active. This mode is useful for charging smaller-capacity batteries. To deactivate, press the MODE button again for 3 seconds.

Yes, the charger is reverse polarity protected. If the battery is connected incorrectly, all status LEDs will flash and no sparking will occur, ensuring safe use.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP65s charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and compensates for temperature during the charging process for lead-acid batteries. This ensures optimal charging voltage, extending battery life, without requiring manual adjustments for cold or hot environments.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65s Charger 12/5 comes with a 5-year warranty.
