Smart 7-Step Charging Program

The seven-step charging algorithm optimizes battery performance, health, and longevity. Pre-set algorithms are included for common Lead Acid and Lithium batteries. For specific manufacturer settings, the Expert Mode allows adjustments to all parameters and time limits.

Deep Discharge Recovery

Unlike other chargers, the Blue Smart IP65 Charger can attempt to recharge deeply-discharged batteries by force-feeding them with a low current. Once sufficient voltage is achieved, normal charging resumes.

Easy Battery Connection

The charger is supplied with Alligator clips and M8 eyelets, allowing for easy connection to the battery. It can also be left permanently connected if desired.

Remote Monitoring

Built-in Bluetooth enables users to check the status of the charger and battery on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. All settings can be configured using the VictronConnect app.

VictronConnect Features

• Program and configure the charger.
• Access live status updates and historical information.
• View data from the last 40 charge cycles, including start/end voltages, time spent in each charge cycle, amp-hours charged, completion status, and 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:

• Switching to low current mode: Press the MODE button for 3 seconds.
• The MODE LED will blink to indicate activation.
• Low current mode remains active until the MODE button is pressed again for 3 seconds.
