Victron Blue Smart IP67 charger 12V 13A (1) 230V

Victron Blue Smart IP67 battery charger. 12volt 13A. The Blue Smart IP67 waterproof charger can be used in your workshop and on motor vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs and more. Bluetooth Smart compliant. The Blue Smart IP67 charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger when new features become available. With Bluetooth, the IP67 charger works better and in a similar way to the IP22 and IP65 chargers. Fully encapsulated: waterproof, shockproof and sparkproof. Water, oil or dirt will not be able to damage the Blue Smart IP67 charger. The casing is made of cast aluminum and the electronics are cast in resin. The most efficient ever! Setting a new industry standard: With 95% efficiency or higher, these chargers consume three to four times less heat. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption is reduced to less than one watt, five to ten times better than industry standards. Customizable 5-step charging algorithm: bulk - absorption - reconditioning - float storage. The Blue Smart charger is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled adaptive battery management. The adaptive function will automatically optimize the process in relation to the way the battery is used. Storage mode: Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use. Storage mode is always activated when the battery has not been exposed to discharge for 24 hours. In storage mode, the float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for 12 V batteries) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive electrode plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to equalize the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, one of the main causes of premature battery failure. Also charges lithium-ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries are charged using a simple bulk - absorption - float algorithm. Recovery function for fully discharged batteries. Starts charging even when the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Reconnects to a fully discharged lithium-ion battery with an internal disconnect function. Protected against overheating. Can be used in hot environments such as engine rooms. The output current decreases when the temperature increases up to 60 C but the charger can handle this. Two LEDs to show status indication. Yellow LED: bulk charge (fast flashing), absorption (slow flashing), float (steady light), storage (off) Green LED: power on.
