The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 24/12(1) is a single-output charger for 24 V batteries, delivering 12 A in normal mode. It uses an adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm, has Bluetooth, and reaches 94 % efficiency. This US version has a 1.8 m AC lead with a NEMA 5-15 plug. The enclosure is rated IP22, and the battery temperature sensor is an optional add-on (Smart Battery Sense).
Our take
The 12 A normal-mode output comes from a single output, so one 24 V bank gets charged and nothing else. Lithium is supported, and the battery temperature sensor (Smart Battery Sense) is an add-on rather than included.
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.
