For lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries

The Blue Smart IP65s 12/5 supports flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and LiFePO4 batteries. For lead-acid batteries, the Normal and High charging profiles are available, while LiFePO4 batteries are charged using a dedicated lithium-ion profile. The adaptive charging algorithm adjusts the charging process based on the battery’s current state and previous charging history.

For smaller battery capacities, the charging current can be reduced from 5 A to 2 A. The permissible charging parameters and temperature limits specified by the respective battery manufacturer must be observed. LiFePO4 batteries must not be charged with this charger at a battery temperature below 0 °C.

Bluetooth and VictronConnect

Via Bluetooth and the VictronConnect app, you can monitor the state of charge, voltage, current, and charging history, among other things. You can also select charging profiles, configure parameters, and perform firmware updates. An additional power supply mode allows the unit to be used as a constant DC power supply with or without a connected battery.

CEE-7/16 Mains Connection and Flexible Battery Connection

This version of the Blue Smart IP65s 12/5 features a 1.5 m power cord with a CEE-7/16 plug. Both a cable with battery terminals and a cable with M8 ring terminals are included for connecting to the battery. The charger operates fanlessly using natural convection and has an IP65 rating, protecting it against dust and water jets.
