This Victron Blue Smart IP65 charger delivers 8 A in normal mode to a 24 V battery. It uses an adaptive 7-stage charge algorithm and is lithium compatible. The case is rated IP65, and the AC side is a 1.8 m lead ending in a US NEMA 5-15 plug. Efficiency is 94 %, and the output is fully rated up to 30 °C.
Our take
The IP65 case gives water, dust and chemical protection, and the 1.8 m lead ends in a US NEMA 5-15 plug, so it runs from a 120 V US outlet. Output is only fully rated up to 30 °C, which matters in a warm compartment.
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.
