Ładowarka Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 12/7

The Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger stands out for its robust and intelligent design. It is fully encapsulated in a die-cast aluminum housing with resin-encapsulated electronic components, providing IP67 protection against water, oil, and dust. It also integrates Bluetooth Smart technology for monitoring and control via the VictronConnect app, along with a high energy efficiency of 93%.

The charger uses a 5-stage adaptive charging algorithm to optimize battery lifespan and performance. These stages are:

Bulk (bulk charge): The charger delivers maximum current to quickly recharge the battery.
Absorption: Voltage is held constant while current gradually decreases, ensuring a full charge.
Reconditioning: An optional stage used to restore deeply discharged or sulfated batteries.
Float (float charge): Voltage is reduced to maintain the battery at full charge without overcharging.
Storage: Voltage is further reduced after 24 hours without discharge to minimize gassing and corrosion, with weekly equalization to prevent stratification and sulfation.

The 'storage' mode activates when the battery has not undergone discharge for 24 hours. In this mode, the float voltage is reduced to 13.2 V (for a 12 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, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulfation—major causes of premature battery failure.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger is equipped with a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It 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 an internal disconnect function.

The charger is protected against overheating. It can be used in hot environments, such as an engine room. The output current will be reduced as the temperature rises up to 60 °C, but the charger will not fail, ensuring its reliability and durability.

Yes, the charger is completely silent. Its fanless design with no moving parts ensures quiet operation, which is ideal for environments where noise must be minimized.

The charger is equipped with two LEDs for status indication:

Yellow LED: Indicates the charge state: fast flashing for bulk charging, slow flashing for absorption, solid for float mode, and off for storage mode. Green LED: Indicates that the charger is powered on.

Yes, the Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger can be used as a power supply. This feature provides additional flexibility to power devices requiring a stable voltage.

The Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger has compact dimensions of 85 x 211 x 60 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs 1.8 kg, making it easy to install in various spaces.

This charger sets a new industry standard with 93% efficiency. It dissipates three to four times less heat than standard chargers. Once the battery is fully charged, its power consumption is less than 1 Watt, which is five to ten times better than the industry standard.

The charger is designed to charge and maintain lead-acid batteries (including gel, AGM, and flooded electrolyte types) and Li-ion batteries.

Yes, a Battery Management System (BMS) may be required to charge a Li-ion battery correctly and safely. It is important to check the specific requirements of your Li-ion battery manufacturer.

No, this specific model of the Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger is designed to operate within a nominal voltage range of 220–240 VAC at 50–60 Hz, with an input range of 180–265 VAC at 45–65 Hz.

No, charging frozen batteries is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, this charger is designed exclusively for charging rechargeable lead-acid and Li-ion batteries. Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries, as this could result in injury and equipment damage.

The charger must be installed in a well-ventilated area, close to the battery. It is crucial never to place it directly above a charging battery, as the corrosive gases emitted by the battery could damage the charger.

To connect the charger to the 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 (+). The battery connection cables supplied are 1.5 meters long. Always ensure the connections are correct before plugging the charger into the mains.

During installation, it is essential to take precautions to avoid risks:

Ensure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.Avoid creating sparks near the battery, as batteries generate explosive gases.Remove personal metal objects (rings, bracelets) to prevent short circuits.Wear eye protection and protective clothing.Never smoke or allow an open flame or spark near the battery.

The Blue Smart IP67 12/7(1) charger can operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. It maintains its full nominal power up to 40°C, and above 40°C, the output current is reduced by 3% per degree Celsius.

If the charger is damaged, has suffered a severe impact, has fallen, or is not functioning properly, it is imperative to contact your service agent or the manufacturer. Never attempt to disassemble the charger yourself, as incorrect reassembly could pose an electrical shock or fire hazard and would void any warranty.
