Blue Smart IP67 12/7 įkroviklis

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 is designed for charging and maintaining 12V batteries with a 7A current. Its main feature is its fully encapsulated design in cast aluminum with resin-sealed electronic components, providing IP67 protection against water, oil, dust, and impacts. It is also ignition-protected, making it ideal for marine environments or demanding engine compartments.

Yes, this charger has IP67 protection. This means it is fully encapsulated and protected against water, oil, and dust. Its housing is made of die-cast aluminum and the electronics are potted, ensuring maximum durability in harsh environments.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 includes Bluetooth Smart connectivity. You can monitor battery voltage and current, adjust settings, and update the charger using the VictronConnect app, available for smartphones, tablets (Apple and Android), and PCs.

This charger is designed to charge and maintain lead-acid batteries and Li-ion batteries. It is suitable for batteries with a typical capacity of 14Ah to 225Ah.

The charger uses a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm for lead-acid batteries: bulk (constant current), absorption (top-up charge), reconditioning, float (maintenance), and storage. This feature automatically optimizes the charging process based on battery usage, reducing absorption time when the battery is already (almost) full to limit corrosion.

The 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 to minimize gas release and positive plate corrosion. Once a week, the voltage is raised to the absorption level to 'equalize' the battery, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 has an efficiency of 93%. This means it dissipates significantly less heat than standard industry chargers. Additionally, once the battery is fully charged, its standby power consumption is less than 0.5 W.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It will attempt to recharge a fully discharged battery using a low current and will resume normal charging once sufficient voltage has been established at the battery terminals. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function.

The charger must be installed 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 battery's positive terminal (+). Then plug the AC power cable into the wall outlet. The charging cycle will start automatically.

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 measures 85 mm (height) x 211 mm (width) x 60 mm (depth) and weighs 1.8 kg.

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

The charger has two LEDs for status indication:

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

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 can be used as a power supply.

The charger is protected against:

Battery polarity reversal (via an external fuse).Output short circuits.Overheating.

The charger can operate within a temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C. It delivers its full rated power up to 40 °C, and above 40 °C, the output current is reduced by 3 % per degree Celsius.

For Li-ion batteries, the charger uses a simplified three-stage charging algorithm: bulk (constant current), absorption, and float (maintenance).

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 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 mode during float or storage. This optimizes the charging voltage for lead-acid batteries, which varies inversely with temperature, without requiring special adjustments for cold or hot environments.

The charger operates with a nominal input voltage of 220-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz. The accepted input voltage range is 180-265 VAC at 45-65 Hz.

No, attempting to recharge non-rechargeable batteries with this charger is strictly prohibited as it may cause injury and equipment damage.

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 is designed for maximum resistance to harsh environments. It features IP67 protection, meaning it is fully protected against:

WaterOilDustShocksThis protection is achieved through its robust design: its housing is made of die-cast aluminum, and all its electronic components are fully resin-coated and encapsulated. It is also ignition-protected, making it particularly suitable for demanding marine environments or engine compartments.
