Blue Smart IP67 töltő 12/13 A

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) is designed for charging and maintaining batteries in demanding environments. Its main feature is IP67 protection, making it fully waterproof, oilproof, and dustproof, shock-resistant, and protected against ignition. This is achieved through its die-cast aluminum housing and fully encapsulated electronic components in resin.

You can monitor voltage and current, modify settings, and perform software updates via the VictronConnect app, thanks to the built-in Bluetooth Smart technology. The app is available for smartphones, tablets (Apple and Android), and computers (Windows, macOS X).

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) delivers a charging current of 13 A in normal mode. It also features a low-current mode of 4 A.

Yes, the charger is protected against overheating and can be used in hot environments up to 60 °C. The output current will be reduced if the temperature exceeds 40 °C, but the charger will continue to operate without failure.

This charger has an efficiency of 93%. It thus generates three to four times less heat than standard industrial models and consumes less than 0.5 W in standby mode once the battery is fully charged.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

The charger uses a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm for lead-acid batteries:

Bulk (constant current charge)Absorption (equalization charge)ReconditioningFloat (float charge)StorageFor Li-ion batteries, it uses a simplified 3-stage algorithm: bulk, absorption, and float. The algorithm adapts the charging process based on battery usage.

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

Charge voltages vary depending on battery type and mode:

Absorption: 14.4 V (Normal), 14.7 V (High), 14.2 V (Li-ion)Float: 13.8 V (Normal), 13.8 V (High), 13.5 V (Li-ion)Storage: 13.2 V (Normal), 13.2 V (High), 13.5 V (Li-ion)

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 chargers are completely silent as they have no cooling fan or any other moving parts.

The charger must be installed in a well-ventilated area, close to the battery. It is important not to place it directly above the battery due to the battery's potential corrosive gas emissions.

To connect the charger:

Connect the black cable (negative) to the negative terminals (–) of the battery. Connect the red cable (positive) to the positive terminals (+) of the battery. Then plug the power cable (230 VAC) into a wall outlet. The charging cycle will start.

Connect and disconnect the DC output terminals only after removing the AC power cord from the electrical outlet. Never allow the terminals to touch.

Yes, the charger comes with a 1.5-meter black and red cable for battery connection, as well as a 1.5-meter cable with a CEE 7/7 plug for 230 VAC mains connection.

The charger has two LEDs for status indication:

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

The charger operates with an AC input voltage range of 180 to 265 VAC and a frequency of 45 to 65 Hz. Its nominal voltage and frequency range is 220-240 VAC 50-60 Hz.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13(1) can be used as a power supply.

Yes, this charger can reconnect and charge a fully discharged Li-ion battery even if it is equipped with an internal disconnect function.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 12/13(1) charger is designed for charging and maintaining batteries in demanding environments. Its main features include:

IP67 protection: Its die-cast aluminum housing and encapsulated components provide complete protection against water, oil, dust, shocks, and ignition.Bluetooth Smart connectivity: Enables monitoring of voltage and current, parameter adjustment, and software updates via the VictronConnect app on smartphone or tablet.5-stage adaptive charging algorithm: Optimizes the charging process for lead-acid batteries (bulk – absorption – equalization – float – storage) and Li-ion batteries (bulk – absorption – float).High efficiency: With an efficiency of 93%, it generates very little heat and consumes less than 0.5 W in standby mode.Battery recovery: Capable of recharging fully discharged batteries, including Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect function.Overheat protection: Output current is reduced if the temperature exceeds 40 °C, allowing use up to 60 °C without failure.Charge currents: It delivers a charge current of 13 A in normal mode and 4 A in low mode.Power function: It can also be used as a power supply.

To install and connect your Blue Smart IP67 12/13(1) charger, follow these steps:

Location: Install the charger in a well-ventilated area, near the battery, but never directly above it to avoid corrosion from gases.Connecting to the battery (off-vehicle):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 (+).Connecting to the battery (in a vehicle):Identify the battery polarity and the vehicle's grounded pole.If the negative pole is grounded (most vehicles): connect the charger's POSITIVE terminal (RED) to the battery's non-grounded POSITIVE (+) terminal. Connect the NEGATIVE terminal (BLACK) to a thick metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the battery.If the positive pole is grounded: connect the charger's NEGATIVE terminal (BLACK) to the battery's non-grounded NEGATIVE (–) terminal. Connect the POSITIVE terminal (RED) to a thick metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the battery.Power connection: Plug the AC power cable into a wall outlet. The charging cycle will then begin.To disconnect the charger, always unplug the AC cable first, then remove the chassis terminal (if applicable), and finally the battery terminal.
