Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/20 (1) is a professional 12 V, 20 A charger that combines maximum efficiency, Bluetooth control, and intelligent 6-stage charging management to carefully protect your battery’s chemistry. Designed for use in workshops, marine applications, campers, and solar systems, this charger maintains a stable and safe charging profile for both lead-acid batteries (AGM, GEL, and flooded) and LiFePO₄ with BMS. Thanks to the VE.Smart network, it can synchronize with Victron sensors (Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt, or BMV-712 Smart) to compensate for voltage drop at terminals and the actual battery temperature, achieving unmatched precision.
Main Features
- 20 A at 12 V on a single output for fast and controlled charging.
- Intelligent 6-stage algorithm (test, bulk, absorption, reconditioning, float, and storage) that maximizes service life.
- Integrated Bluetooth Smart for monitoring, session history, settings, and updates via VictronConnect.
- VE.Smart network for sharing voltage, temperature, and current with Smart Battery Sense / SmartShunt / BMV-712.
- Recovery of deeply discharged batteries (attempt from 0 V) and Night/Low mode for silent operation.
- High efficiency (~93%) and ultra-low standby consumption (~0.5 W), with internal thermal control.
Advantages or Benefits
- Reduces charging times in medium-sized banks without sacrificing battery health.
- Extends service life by avoiding overcharging, undercharging, and stratification thanks to precise control of each stage.
- Total management from your mobile: chemistry profiles, firmware updates, and event logging.
- Professional safety: protections against reverse polarity (fuse), short circuit, and overtemperature.
- Compact and clean installation, ideal for continuous use in vehicles, boats, and 12 V systems.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended as a main or maintenance charger for service and starter batteries in vehicles, campers, and boats, as well as 12 V photovoltaic systems, UPS/backup, and LiFePO₄ banks with BMS.
