Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A 1 Bank 120V Charger – Dry Mount

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a professional battery charger with built-in Bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats, and camper vans.

Bluetooth Smart

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, change settings, and update the charger when new features become available.

High efficiency

With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0,5 watts, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm: test – bulk – absorption – recondition – float – storage

The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor-controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Storage Mode: less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge for 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for a 12V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents electrolyte and sulfation stratification, a significant cause of early battery failure.

It also charges Li-ion batteries

Li-ion batteries are charged with a simple bulk–absorption–float algorithm.

Fully discharged battery recovery function

Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an internal disconnect function.

NIGHT and LOW setting

When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 50% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually.

Protected against overheating

Output current will reduce as the temperature increases up to 50°C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.

Eleven LEDs for status indication

Charge algorithm: TEST / BULK / ABSORPTION / RECONDITION / FLOAT / STORAGE / READY. MODE button to set: NORMAL (14,4V) / HIGH (14,7V) / RECONDITION / LI-ION.

Victron Energy VE.Smart Networking:

VE.Smart Networking is a wireless communication network between Victron products. It is a wireless technology using Bluetooth Smart.

Features:

Remote voltage-, temperature and/or current sensing

Use VE. Smart to add remote voltage, temperature, and/or current sensing to your Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. Connect either a BMV battery monitor, a SmartShunt, or the new Smart Battery Sense, to a Solar Charger. The Solar Charger will receive the available information from the battery, like battery voltage and temperature (depending on the sensor) information, and use that data to optimize its charge parameters. This will improve charging efficiency and prolong battery life.

This video introduces the Smart Battery Sense:

Synchronized charging

Pairing two or more SmartSolar chargers in VE. Smart Networking, enables synchronized charging. This improves the charge efficiency and battery life.
