Smart Charging Program

The seven-step charging algorithm optimizes battery performance and longevity. It ensures the battery receives the power it needs while maintaining its health for better performance and extended lifespan.

• Standard preset algorithms for Lead Acid and Lithium Batteries
• Expert Mode allows customization of parameters and time limits to meet specific battery manufacturer requirements

Deep Discharge Recovery

Unlike other chargers, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger can recover deeply discharged batteries by force-feeding them with low current. Normal charging resumes once sufficient voltage is achieved across the terminals.

Easy Battery Connection

The charger includes Alligator clips and M8 eyelets, providing easy connection to batteries. The M8 eyelets allow for permanent installation if desired.

Remote Monitoring and Configuration

With built-in Bluetooth, you can monitor the charger and battery status directly on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. All settings can be configured using the VictronConnect app.

VictronConnect App

The VictronConnect app enables programming, live status updates, and access to historical information for Victron products with Bluetooth support or a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle.

History File

Access detailed historical data for the last 40 charge cycles, including:

• Start and end voltages
• Time spent in each charge cycle
• Amp-hours charged
• Completion status
• Charge profiles used

The MODE Button

The charger can be operated without Bluetooth using the MODE button, which provides access to all charging programs. For example:

• Low current mode can be activated by pressing the MODE button for 3 seconds.
• The MODE LED will blink when in low current mode, which remains active until the button is pressed again for 3 seconds.
