Blue Smart IP67 Victron battery charger with Bluetooth
The Blue Smart IP67 Battery 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 functionality of the IP67 charger is enhanced and is similar to that of our IP22 and IP65 chargers.
Starting in December, the following models can be delivered:
- Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/7 (1) : BPC120713006
- Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/13 (1) : BPC121313006
- Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24/5 (1) : BPC240513006
The other models will follow in 2017.
In addition to Bluetooth, these battery chargers share the following unique characteristics of the Blue Power IP67 Charger:
Completely encapsulated: waterproof, shockproof and ignition protected
Water, oil or dirt will not damage the Blue Smart IP67 Battery Charger. The casing is made of cast aluminium and the electronics are moulded in resin.
The highest efficiency ever!
Setting a new industry standard: with 92% efficiency or better, these chargers waste three to four times less heat.
And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
Adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – recondition – float – storage
The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise 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 during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise 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 stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.
Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO?) batteries
LiFePO? batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption – float algorithm.
Protected against overheating
Can be used in a hot environment such as a machine room. Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.
Two LEDs for status indication
Yellow LED: bulk charge (blinking fast), absorption (blinking slow), float (solid), storage (off)
Green LED: power on
