Blue Smart IP65 laadija 24/5

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger is a professional smart charger designed for use in demanding environments. It stands out with its IP65 protection rating (resistant to water, dust, and chemicals), its seven-step adaptive charging algorithm, its ability to recover fully discharged batteries, and its Bluetooth Smart connectivity for monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app.

The IP65 rating means the charger is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for marine applications, workshops, and environments where it may be exposed to moisture or dirt.

The charger uses a seven-stage smart charging algorithm that adapts to the battery's specific needs. These stages include testing, bulk charging, absorption, reconditioning (optional), float charging, storage, and refresh. This algorithm ensures optimal charging, prevents sulfation, and extends battery life.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger can recharge fully discharged batteries, even those with a voltage close to 0 volts. It attempts to recharge the battery with a low current and resumes normal charging once sufficient voltage is detected at the battery terminals.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger can operate within an extended temperature range from -30°C to +50°C. It delivers its full rated power up to an ambient temperature of 30°C.

No, this charger is completely silent. It contains no cooling fans or other moving parts, ensuring noise-free operation.

The charger is equipped with overheat protection. If the internal temperature rises, the output current is reduced as the temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail. This protects the electronic components and ensures the longevity of the device.

Yes, the charger has a low-consumption mode. For the 24V 5A model, this mode reduces the charging current to 2 amps, which is ideal for safely charging smaller-capacity batteries.

Automatic temperature compensation adjusts charging voltage based on ambient temperature. The charger measures temperature during the test phase and adjusts it during the charging process. This ensures optimal charging voltage for lead-acid batteries, whether the environment is cold or hot, without requiring manual adjustments.

The reconditioning function restores lead-acid batteries that have been insufficiently charged or left discharged for extended periods, which can lead to sulfation. By charging the battery with a low current at a higher voltage, sulfation can sometimes be partially reversed. This function should be used occasionally for VRLA batteries (gel and AGM) and can be applied to flooded batteries to equalize cells and prevent acid stratification.

Storage mode reduces the charging voltage after a 48-hour float period when the battery remains connected to the charger. This voltage reduction minimizes corrosion of the battery's positive plates, helping to extend its lifespan, especially during long-term storage.

This charger is compatible with a wide range of batteries, including lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM, gel) and LiFePO₄ batteries (lithium-ion). It has a specific charging mode for Li-ion batteries.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger provides an output voltage of 24 volts and a maximum charge current of 5 amperes.

No, this specific model is a 24V charger and is designed solely for 24-volt battery systems. Using a 24V charger on a 12V battery is incompatible and may damage the battery.

You can monitor the status of your charger and battery, as well as control charger functions, using the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth Smart. The app displays real-time voltage and current and allows parameter configuration.

The charger dimensions are 47 mm (height) x 95 mm (width) x 190 mm (depth). Its weight is approximately 0.9 kg.

To connect the charger, follow these steps:

First, connect the red and black clamps (or eyelets) of the charger to the corresponding battery terminals (red to positive (+), black to negative (-)). Ensure the connection is secure. Then, plug the charger’s AC power cable into a wall outlet. To disconnect, first remove the AC cable from the wall outlet, then unplug the clamps from the battery.

When using the charger, it is important to:

Ensure good ventilation around the battery.Avoid smoking or creating sparks near the battery, as batteries generate explosive gases.Wear protective goggles and protective clothing.Avoid any contact of battery acid with skin or eyes.Never charge a frozen battery.Do not use the charger for non-rechargeable batteries.

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger is protected against reverse polarity. In case of incorrect battery connection, all status LEDs will flash and no sparking will occur, protecting both the charger and the battery.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/5 charger comes with a 5-year warranty.
