Blue Smart IP65 laadija 24/8 CEE 7/16

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 is a professional 24V, 8A charger featuring a seven-step smart charging algorithm. It is water-, dust-, and chemical-resistant (IP65) and can recover fully discharged batteries. It also includes automatic power supply, low-power mode, and a dedicated Li-ion battery mode.

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is a very high-efficiency charger, reaching up to 95%. This performance allows it to generate up to four times less heat compared to standard chargers. Additionally, its standby consumption is extremely low, below 0.5 Watt, which is five to ten times better than industry standards.

The Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is equipped with a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. Unlike many chargers that do not recognize zero-volt batteries, this model will attempt to recharge a completely discharged battery with a low current, then resume normal charging once sufficient voltage has been restored at the battery terminals.

Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is completely silent. It has no fan or moving parts, ensuring noise-free operation.

This charger includes multiple protections to ensure safe and durable use:

Reverse polarity protection: The charger immediately detects voltage and polarity, and the status LEDs flash in case of incorrect connection, without sparking.Short-circuit protection on the output: The charger is protected against short-circuits on the output.Overheat protection: The output current is reduced if the temperature rises to 60°C, without the charger failing.

The reconditioning function is designed for lead-acid batteries that have been insufficiently charged or left discharged for days or weeks, which can lead to sulfation. If applied in time, this function can sometimes partially reverse sulfation by charging the battery with a low current up to a higher voltage, thereby extending its lifespan.

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

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

This specific model, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger 24/8, is designed to charge batteries with a nominal voltage of 24V.

For the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger, the recommended battery capacity is 30 to 80 Ah for optimal charging. However, it can also be used for batteries from 20 to 50 Ah and from 50 to 130 Ah, although charging time may be longer for the latter.

Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is fully compatible with lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO₄). It uses a specific charging algorithm for these batteries and includes automatic reset of the Li-ion undervoltage protection.

No, the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is specifically designed for 24V systems. It is not compatible with 12V batteries.

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger comes with essential DC connection accessories for immediate use. It includes clamps and M8 eyelets, allowing various connection options to your battery.

For a secure connection, follow these steps:

If the battery is installed in a vehicle (negative ground): Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp of the charger to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the chassis or engine block of the vehicle, away from the battery. Then plug the AC cord into the wall outlet.

If the battery is outside the vehicle: Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp of the charger to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp of the charger to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the battery. Then plug the AC cord into the wall outlet.

To disconnect, follow the reverse procedure: unplug the AC cord, then the clamps from the battery/chassis.

For safety and efficiency, place the charger:

As far as possible from the battery, within the limits of the DC cables.In a well-ventilated area.Never directly above the battery while charging, as battery gases could corrode and damage the charger.Never place the battery on the charger.

Yes, the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger is equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology. You can configure, monitor, and update it via the VictronConnect app, available for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. The app displays the charger’s status and battery data, including voltage and current.

The charger uses LED indicators to inform you of the charge state:

When the absorption LED is lit, the battery is charged to about 80% and is ready for use. The battery is fully charged when the FLOAT or STORAGE LED is lit.

Yes, the charger has a storage mode. After 48 hours of connection, the charging voltage is reduced to minimize corrosion of the battery's positive plates. An absorption cycle of one hour is applied every seven days to refresh the battery, which is ideal for long-term maintenance.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger comes with a 5-year warranty.

The Blue Smart IP65 24/8 charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and automatically compensates the charging voltage for lead-acid batteries. This ensures optimal charging voltage whether the environment is cold or hot, without requiring manual adjustments.
