The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is a battery charger with one charge output. In normal mode it delivers 20 A, and a night or low mode gives 10 A. Charging follows an adaptive 6-stage algorithm, and it is lithium compatible. The case is rated IP22 and the battery connection uses screw terminals for 16 mm² (6 AWG) wire. A battery temperature sensor is optional, using the Smart Battery Sense.
Our take
One output at 20 A means this charger feeds a single battery bank. Its IP22 rating is a basic one, so it wants a dry mounting spot, and the temperature sensor is optional, so compensation needs the extra Smart Battery Sense.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
- It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
