Detailed description

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 DC is a robust and connected charging solution designed for marine and demanding environments. It stands out with its IP67 protection rating, ensuring complete water, oil, and dust resistance. Its die-cast aluminum housing and electronics encapsulated in resin make it shock-resistant and protected against ignition.

Efficiency and adaptive battery management

With 93% efficiency, this charger minimizes heat loss, consuming less than 1 Watt once the battery is full. It features a microprocessor-managed 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm (bulk – absorption – recondition – float – storage) that optimizes the charging process based on battery usage. The storage mode reduces voltage to 13.2 V for a 12 V battery to limit gassing and corrosion, with weekly equalization at absorption voltage to prevent stratification and sulfation.

Bluetooth connectivity and advanced features

The integrated Bluetooth Smart functionality allows monitoring of voltage and current, parameter adjustments, and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app from a smartphone or tablet. The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 can also charge Li-ion batteries with a simplified algorithm (bulk – absorption – float). It includes a recovery function for fully discharged batteries, even at zero volts, and reconnects Li-ion batteries with an internal disconnect function. Its overheat protection allows operation up to 60 °C, with output current reduction to preserve the charger without failure.

Positioning in the range and technical specifications

The 12/7 model delivers a 7 A charging current, positioning itself as a versatile option for battery capacities suited to a 7 A current. Compared to higher models in the Blue Smart IP67 range (12/13, 12/17, 12/25 for 12 V systems), it is more compact and suited to moderate charging needs while retaining the same robustness and intelligent charging benefits. It comes with 1.5-meter battery cables (black and red) and a 1.5-meter power cable with a CEE 7/7 plug, all housed in a blue aluminum case (RAL 5012) measuring 85 x 211 x 60 mm and weighing 1.8 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the design feature of the Victron Blue Smart IP67 charger?

The Victron Blue Smart IP67 charger is designed to be extremely rugged and durable. Its housing is made of die-cast aluminum, and its electronics are fully encapsulated in resin. This design provides complete protection against water, oil, dust (IP67 rating), shocks, and makes it flame-retardant.

What is the energy efficiency of the Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger?

The Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger stands out with a high energy efficiency of 93 %. Thanks to this high efficiency, it minimizes heat losses. Additionally, once the battery is fully charged, its power consumption drops to less than 1 Watt, which is highly efficient.

How does the charger handle overheating?

Le chargeur est protégé contre la surchauffe et peut être utilisé dans des environnements chauds, comme une salle des machines. Le courant de sortie sera automatiquement réduit à mesure que la température augmente au-delà de 40 °C (avec une réduction de 3 % par °C au-dessus de 40 °C), mais le chargeur ne tombera pas en panne et continuera de fonctionner.

Is the Victron Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger silent?

Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger is completely silent. It has no cooling fan or other moving parts, ensuring noise-free operation.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger?

The dimensions of the Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger are 85 mm (height) x 211 mm (width) x 60 mm (depth). Its weight is 1.8 kg.

What safety protections does the charger include?

The charger includes multiple safety protections for safe operation:

Protection against battery polarity reversal (via an external ATO fuse). Protection against output short circuits. Protection against overheating.

How can I check the charge status of my battery with this charger?

The charger has two LEDs to indicate its operating status and charging cycle:

A yellow LED that indicates the charging cycle: fast blinking for bulk charging, slow blinking for absorption, solid for float mode, and off for storage mode. A green LED that indicates the device is powered on.

Can the charger also be used as a power supply?

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger can also be used as a power supply, providing additional versatility.

Does the charger compensate for ambient temperature during charging?

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 charger includes temperature compensation. It measures ambient temperature during the test phase and adjusts the optimal charging voltage for lead-acid batteries based on this temperature. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments in cold or hot environments, ensuring optimal charging.

What types of batteries can the Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger charge?

The Blue Smart IP67 12/7 charger is designed to efficiently charge lead-acid batteries (including gel, AGM, and flooded types) and Li-ion batteries.

What is the recommended battery capacity range for this charger?

The charger is suitable for lead-acid and Li-ion batteries with a capacity between 14 Ah and 225 Ah.

Can the charger recharge a fully discharged battery?
