Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 punjač 24/5 (1)

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/5 (1) provides an output voltage of 24 V and a maximum charging current of 5 A in normal mode. It also features a 'LOW' mode with a current of 2 A.

Yes, this charger has an IP67 rating. This means it is fully waterproof against immersion, oil, and dust. Its die-cast aluminum housing and electronics encapsulated in resin also make it shock-resistant.

The charger integrates Bluetooth Smart technology. You can monitor it, adjust settings, and perform software updates via the VictronConnect app, available for smartphones, tablets (Apple and Android), and computers (Windows, macOS X).

This charger is compatible with lead-acid batteries (including deep-cycle, AGM, and GEL batteries) and Li-ion batteries. It uses specific and adaptive charging algorithms for each battery type.

For lead-acid batteries, the charger uses a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm:

Bulk (bulk charge)AbsorptionEqualizationFloat (maintenance)StorageThis algorithm optimizes battery lifespan based on usage.

Yes, the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/5 is equipped with a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts and reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

This charger has a high efficiency of 94 %. This means it minimizes heat dissipation, generating far less heat than standard industry chargers. Its standby power consumption is also very low, under 1 Watt (0.5W).

Storage mode activates when the battery has not been discharged 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 and prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation.

The charger includes several protections:

Reverse polarity protection for the battery (via fuse)Short-circuit protection on outputOverheat protection (output current is reduced if temperature rises)

Yes, the charger is protected against overheating. It can be used in hot environments, such as an engine room. The output current will be reduced if the temperature exceeds 40 °C and continues to increase up to 60 °C, but the charger will not fail.

The charger dimensions are 85 x 211 x 60 mm (height x width x depth). Its weight is 1.8 kg.

For installation, the charger must be placed in a well-ventilated area, near the battery, but not directly above it due to possible corrosive gases. Connect the black cable (negative) to the battery's negative terminal and the red cable (positive) to the positive terminal. Then plug the AC power cable into a wall outlet.

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

The operating temperature range of the charger is from -20 °C to +60 °C. It can deliver its full rated power up to 40 °C. Above 40 °C, the output current is reduced by 3 % per °C.

Yes, the charger is supplied with a 1.5 m black and red battery connection cable, and a 1.5 m AC power cable with a CEE 7/7 plug for 230 VAC mains connection.

The charger has two status LEDs:

The yellow LED indicates the charging state: fast blinking for bulk charge, slow blinking for absorption, solid for float charge, off for storage. The green LED indicates that the charger is powered on.

The charger accepts an AC input voltage range of 180 to 265 VAC with a frequency of 45 to 65 Hz.

Yes, it is mandatory to connect and disconnect the DC output terminals only after removing the AC power cord from the electrical outlet. Never allow the terminals to touch.

For a Li-ion battery, the charge voltage during the absorption phase is 28.4 V.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/5 is designed to charge and maintain lead-acid batteries and Li-ion batteries. It is suitable for battery capacities ranging from 14 Ah to 225 Ah.

For lead-acid batteries, it uses an adaptive 5-stage charging algorithm: bulk, absorption, reconditioning, float, and storage. For Li-ion batteries, it applies a simplified 3-stage charging algorithm: bulk, absorption, and float.

Additionally, this charger features a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to 0 volts and will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an internal disconnect function.
