Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 Charger (120V, Bluetooth)

The Victron Blue Smart IP65 is the professional's choice in portable Bluetooth chargers - splash-proof, dust-proof, and chemical-resistant, totally silent (no fan), and able to charge from down to -30 C. It charges lead-acid and lithium banks with a 7-step adaptive algorithm, and you monitor and configure it over Bluetooth in the free VictronConnect app. Every charger ships with crocodile clamps and M8 eyelets, so you can connect to a battery the moment it arrives. Available in 12V (5/7/10/15/25 A), 24V (5/8 A), and a dual 6V/12V 1.1 A maintainer.

Who it's built for

• Workshop, boat, RV, and powersports - a rugged grab-and-go charger that handles dust, splashes, and cold, with both clamps and ring terminals in the box.
• Battery maintenance - leave it connected long-term; storage mode keeps batteries healthy without overcharging. The 6V/12V 1.1 A model is a dedicated small-battery maintainer (motorcycle, classic car, lawn equipment).
• Lithium and lead-acid - selectable profiles for LiFePO4, AGM, gel, and flooded banks.

Why the Blue Smart IP65

Rugged and silent

IP65 protection against dust, water, and chemicals, with no cooling fan or moving parts - completely silent. Rated to charge from -30 C, so it works in a cold garage or dock box.

Bluetooth built in

Set up, configure, and read voltage and current from your phone in the VictronConnect app, and update the charger as new features are released.

7-step adaptive charging

Test, bulk, absorption, optional recondition, float, storage, and storage-refresh - the microprocessor tunes the charge to the battery and measures ambient temperature for automatic temperature-compensated charging (lead-acid), so no cold/hot settings are needed. Storage mode lowers the voltage after 48 hours connected to reduce grid corrosion.

Recondition and fully-discharged recovery

An optional recondition stage can partially reverse sulfation on a neglected lead-acid battery, and the recovery function will force-charge a battery sitting at zero volts until normal charging can resume. Li-ion mode includes automatic under-voltage protection reset.

Ultra-high efficiency

Up to 95% efficient with 0.5 W standby draw - far less heat and parasitic drain than a typical charger. Can also be used as a DC power supply.

Connection kit included

Ships with crocodile clamps, M8 ring-terminal eyelets, and a battery indicator eyelet. Optional fused clamps/eyelets, autoplug, wall mount, rubber bumper, and carry case are available.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the IP65, IP22, and IP67?

The IP65 is a rugged, silent portable charger with clamps and eyelets included - splash and dust proof. The IP22 is a fan-cooled charger with screw terminals and VE.Smart Networking (parallel sync). The IP67 is fully waterproof (immersion-rated) for the harshest, wettest installs. All three are Bluetooth.

Does it charge lithium batteries?

Yes - select the Li-ion profile, which includes automatic under-voltage protection reset. It also recovers fully discharged lead-acid batteries.

Can I leave it connected long-term?

Yes. Storage mode lowers the voltage after 48 hours connected to reduce grid corrosion, with a weekly refresh - safe as a long-term maintainer.

What's the 6V/12V 1.1A model for?

It's a low-current maintainer for small 6V or 12V batteries - motorcycles, classic cars, ride-on mowers, and seasonal vehicles.

What warranty does it come with?

A 5-year limited warranty from Victron Energy. Blue Marine handles the warranty claim process for you. Email support@bluemarine.com.
