Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 punjač 12/13 DC

The IP67 protection rating means that the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) is fully waterproof, oilproof, and dustproof. Its die-cast aluminum housing and electronics encapsulated in resin also make it shock-resistant, making it ideal for demanding marine environments or damp compartments.

The charger integrates a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm controlled by a microprocessor. These stages are:

Bulk (Bulk charge): Constant-current charge.
Absorption: Constant-voltage charge to complete charging.
Reconditioning: Optional step to restore deeply discharged batteries.
Float (Maintenance): Maintaining the battery at a safe voltage to prevent discharge.
Storage: Reducing float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion during prolonged inactivity.
This algorithm optimizes the process for lead-acid and Li-ion batteries.

No, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) is completely silent. It has no cooling fan or other moving parts, ensuring noise-free operation.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) has an efficiency rating of 93%. This high efficiency means it dissipates three to four times less heat than standard industry chargers, reducing energy loss.

Once the battery is fully charged, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) power consumption drops to less than 1 Watt. This is five to ten times better than the industry standard, minimizing energy waste.

Storage mode activates when the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. In this mode, the float voltage is reduced to 13.2 V for a 12 V battery. This minimizes gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised to absorption level to 'equalize' the battery, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation—major causes of premature battery failure.

The charger is equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology. You can monitor it, adjust its settings, and perform software updates using the VictronConnect app, available for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.

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

Yellow LED: Fast blinking: Bulk charge. Slow blinking: Absorption. Solid: Float. Off: Storage.Green LED: Indicates the charger is powered.

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) features a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It will initiate charging even if the battery is discharged to zero volts and can reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

Yes, this charger can be used as a power supply.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) can operate within a temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C. It is designed to reduce its output current if the temperature exceeds 40 °C, but it will not fail.

The charger has the following dimensions: 85 mm (height) x 211 mm (width) x 60 mm (depth). Its weight is 1.8 kg.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) charger includes multiple protections:

Protection against battery polarity reversal (via an external fuse). Protection against output short-circuits. Protection against overheating (output current is reduced if temperature exceeds 40 °C).

The Blue Smart IP67 charger measures ambient temperature during the test phase and compensates for temperature during the charging process. The temperature is measured again when the charger is in trickle-charge mode during float or storage. This ensures an optimal charging voltage for lead-acid batteries, which varies inversely with temperature, without requiring special adjustments for cold or hot environments.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) is designed to charge and maintain lead-acid batteries (including gel, AGM, and flooded types) as well as Li-ion batteries.

The charger is designed for batteries with a capacity between 14 Ah and 225 Ah.

For a lead-acid battery in normal mode, the charging voltages are as follows:

Absorption voltage: 14.4 VFloat voltage: 13.8 VStorage voltage: 13.2 V

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

Absorption voltage: 14.2 VFloat voltage: 13.5 VStorage voltage: 13.5 V

The charger must be installed in a well-ventilated area, near the battery. However, to avoid corrosion from potentially corrosive gases, it must never be placed directly above the battery.

To connect the charger to your battery, follow these steps:

Connect the charger's negative cable (black) to the battery's negative terminal (–).Connect the charger's positive cable (red) to the battery's positive terminal (+).Plug the AC power cable (230 VAC) into a wall outlet. The charging cycle will then start.Always ensure correct polarity to avoid damaging the charger or the battery.
