Victron Energy BPC123048012 - Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12V/30Amp - 3 Outputs

Description:

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the new professional battery charger with built-in Bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats and camper-vans.

Features:

Bluetooth Smart Enabled:
The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger with the Victron Connect app when new features become available.

Victron Connect:
Victron connect lets you program, as well as get live status and historical information from Victron products with built-in blue tooth support or by using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle.

History File:
View historical data for the last 40 charge cycles. Information supplied includes Start and End voltages, time spent in each charge cycle, amp-hours charged, the Completion status of each charge and charge profile used.

High efficiency:
With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0,5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 6 - stage charge algorithm: test - bulk – absorption - recondition – float – storage:
The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used. These chargers come standard with pre-set algorithms which are optimally set for all common Lead Acid and Lithium Batteries. For Battery Manufacturer specific settings, Expert mode allows changing practically all parameters and time limits used by the charge algorithm.

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 for 24 hours. In the storage mode, float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for a 12V battery) to minimize 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 sulfation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries:
LiFePO4 batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption – float algorithm.

NIGHT and LOW setting:
When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 25% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually.

Protected against overheating:
Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 50°C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.
