Blue Smart IP67 laadija 24/8(1)

The IP67 protection rating means the charger is completely waterproof, oil-resistant, and dustproof. Its die-cast aluminum housing and electronic components fully encapsulated in resin make it shock-resistant and protected against ignition, making it ideal for marine and demanding environments.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) has an efficiency rating of 96%. This means it minimizes energy losses and generates three to four times less heat than conventional chargers.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) is completely silent. It has no cooling fan or any other moving parts.

Once the battery is fully charged, the idle power consumption of the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) is less than 0.5 Watt.

The charger integrates a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm controlled by a microprocessor:

Bulk (constant current): Initial charging phase.Absorption (finish charge): Maintains a higher voltage to fully charge the battery.Reconditioning: Optional phase to restore deeply discharged or sulfated batteries.Float (trickle): Maintains the battery at a float voltage to compensate for self-discharge.Storage: Reduces float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion when the battery is not in use.

This adaptive function automatically optimizes the charging process based on battery usage, thereby extending its lifespan.

Storage mode activates when the battery has not undergone discharge for 24 hours. In this mode, the float voltage is reduced to 26.4 V (for a 24 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once per week, the voltage is raised to the absorption level to "equalize" the battery, which prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation—major causes of premature battery failure.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) has a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts and will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

The charger is protected against overheating and can be used in hot environments such as an engine room. Output current decreases as temperature rises above 40 °C (with a 3 % reduction per °C above 40 °C), but the charger will not fail. It can operate up to 60 °C.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) includes several protections:

Protection against battery polarity reversal (via a replaceable external fuse). Protection against output short circuits. Protection against overheating.

The charger is equipped with two LEDs to indicate its status:

The yellow LED indicates the charging cycle:
Fast blinking: bulk charge.
Slow blinking: absorption.
Solid: float.
Off: storage.
The green LED indicates that power is activated.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) can be used as a power supply.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) supports an AC input voltage range of 180 to 265 VAC with a frequency of 45 to 65 Hz. Its nominal voltage is 220-240 VAC 50-60 Hz.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) has dimensions of 99 mm (height) x 219 mm (width) x 65 mm (depth) and weighs 2.4 kg.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) is designed to charge and maintain lead-acid batteries (including AGM, GEL, flooded) and Li-ion batteries.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/8(1) is compatible with Li-ion batteries. It uses a specific charging algorithm for these batteries (bulk, absorption, float). Note that a BMS (Battery Management System) may be required to charge a Li-ion battery.

For Li-ion batteries, the charging voltages are as follows:

Absorption voltage: 28.4 VFloat voltage: 27.0 VStorage voltage: 27.0 V

The charger must be installed in a well-ventilated area, close to the battery. It is important never to place it directly above the battery while charging, as battery gases could corrode and damage the charger.

To connect the charger:

Connect the ring terminals to the battery terminals: black cable (negative) to the battery negative (–) terminal, and red cable (positive) to the battery positive (+) terminal.Plug the 1.5-meter AC power cable (with CEE 7/7 plug) into a wall outlet.The charging cycle will then start. Ensure you follow safety precautions regarding polarity and ventilation.

The charger is equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology. You can monitor and control it remotely via the VictronConnect app, available for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. The app allows you to view voltage, charging current, adjust settings, and update the firmware.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 charger is designed to offer exceptional resistance in demanding environments, including marine settings. Its IP67 rating means it is fully encapsulated, making it completely waterproof, oilproof, and dustproof. Therefore, water, oil, or dirt will not damage it.

This robustness is ensured by a specific construction:

Its housing is made of die-cast aluminum.The electronic components are fully encapsulated in resin.These features provide high shock resistance and protection against ignition, making it perfectly suited to the harshest conditions.
