The Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20(3) is a 12 V charger with a nominal 20 A output across 3 charge outputs, built for 120 V supply. It comes with a 1.8 meter AC cable ending in a US NEMA 5-15 plug. Charging follows an adaptive 6-stage routine, it is lithium compatible and uses Bluetooth for setup. A night or low mode drops the current to 10 A. The enclosure is rated IP22.
Our take
The 1.8 meter cord with a NEMA 5-15 plug means this 120 V version plugs straight into a standard US outlet. Its 20 A output is shared across 3 outputs, and the battery temperature sensor is an optional add-on, not part of the box.
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.
