The Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/25 is a single-output charger for 12 V batteries. In normal mode it delivers a nominal 25 A, and low mode cuts that to 10 A. It uses an adaptive 7-stage routine and is lithium compatible. The enclosure has an IP65 protection category and the charger works with the VictronConnect app. It runs from 180 to 265 VAC. Output is fully rated up to 30 C.
Our take
The IP65 enclosure rating is the headline for a charger that may live somewhere damp, and the 25 A normal mode can drop to 10 A in low mode. Output is only listed as fully rated up to 30 C, so in a hot space expect to be below full output.
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.
