The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger (Model: BPC121544002) is a professional 12V, 15A battery charger designed for a wide range of applications, from workshops to motor vehicles like campervans, boats, and classic cars. Featuring three independent outputs, this intelligent charger ensures optimal battery health and performance through its adaptive 6-stage charging algorithm. With built-in Bluetooth Smart connectivity, users can monitor and configure settings remotely via the VictronConnect app, offering convenience and precise control over the charging process.
Engineered for high efficiency, the IP22 charger generates significantly less heat compared to industry standards and reduces power consumption to just 0.5 Watt once the battery is fully charged. It supports various battery types, including lead-acid and Li-ion (LiFePOโ), and incorporates advanced features like a fully discharged battery recovery function and a specialised Storage Mode to minimise aging during periods of inactivity.
UK Compatibility Note: This charger is supplied with a CEE 7/7 (EU) plug and requires a suitable UK adapter for use with British mains sockets.

Charging & Output Modes
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger employs a sophisticated adaptive 6-stage charging algorithm to ensure optimal battery care and longevity. This process includes: Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Storage. The 'adaptive' feature automatically optimises the charging process based on how the battery is being used.
- Fully Programmable: Absorption, Float, and Storage voltages, along with Recondition settings and temperature compensation, can be programmed via the Bluetooth app.
- Storage Mode: Activates after 24 hours of no discharge, reducing float voltage to 13.2V (for 12V batteries) to minimise gassing and corrosion. Weekly equalisation prevents stratification and sulfation.
- Li-ion Charging: Supports Li-ion (LiFePOโ) batteries with a simplified bulk โ absorption โ float algorithm.
- NIGHT and LOW Settings: Reduces output current by up to 50% for silent operation. Night mode ends automatically after 8 hours, while LOW mode can be manually ended.
- Power Supply Mode: The charger can function as a stable DC power supply, maintaining a constant voltage output.
The charger also features VE.Smart Networking, a wireless device-to-device communication network that allows compatible Victron products to optimise the charge process. This includes optional battery voltage and temperature compensation, and the ability to synchronise up to ten chargers for parallel charging, enhancing redundancy and flexibility.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Motor Vehicles | Ideal for charging batteries in classic cars, modern vehicles, and motorbikes, ensuring they are ready for use. |
| Campervans & Motorhomes | Maintains leisure batteries, providing reliable power for on-the-road adventures and off-grid setups. |
| Marine Applications | Suitable for boats, ensuring marine batteries are charged and maintained for optimal performance. |
| Workshops & Garages | A versatile tool for professional and home workshops, charging various 12V batteries for tools and equipment. |
Built-In Protection Functions
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is designed with multiple safety features to protect both the charger and your batteries. It includes protection against overheating, where the output current will reduce as the internal temperature increases up to 50ยฐC, ensuring the charger does not fail. It also features a recovery function for deeply discharged batteries, initiating charging even from zero volts. The IP22 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and vertically falling water drops, making it suitable for dry indoor installations.
Common Questions
What types of batteries can this charger handle?
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is compatible with a wide range of 12V batteries, including lead-acid (flooded, AGM, Gel) and Li-ion (LiFePOโ) batteries.
How does the Bluetooth feature work?
The built-in Bluetooth Smart allows you to connect the charger to your smartphone or tablet via the VictronConnect app. This enables remote monitoring of voltage and current, changing settings, and updating the charger's firmware.
Can I leave the charger connected to my battery long-term?
Yes, the charger features a 'Storage Mode' which automatically reduces the float voltage to minimise gassing and corrosion when the battery is not in use, while periodically refreshing the charge. This makes it suitable for long-term connection and maintenance.
Is this charger suitable for use in the UK?
This model comes with a CEE 7/7 (EU) plug. For use in the UK, a suitable and correctly rated UK adapter will be required to connect it to a BS 1363 mains socket.
Installation Notes
- The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is designed for dry, indoor installations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger to prevent overheating.
