Battery Charger Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A

Battery Charger Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A

The Battery Charger Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A is a professional battery charger with integrated Bluetooth that can be used in devices in your workshop as well as in motor vehicles, such as vintage cars, motorcycles, boats, tractors, RVs and campervans.

The Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A has a 6-stage adaptative fully automatic charging algorithim and it features 1 output with a voltage of 12V, and a charging current of 20A, allowing the charging of batteries with capacities ranging from 50Ah to 150Ah. 

Specifications

Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Chargers Product Line

Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Chargers with Built-in Bluetooth provide voltage and current monitoring and setting adjustments via the VictronConnect App, accessible on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, Macbooks, and Windows laptops. 

When compared to the industry norm, the Blue Smart battery chargers have an efficiency of up to 94%, producing up to 4 times less heat. Once the battery is completely charged, power consumption drops to 0,5 Watt, which is 5 to 10 times better than the standard. 

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Charger has a microprocessor-controlled 6-stage 'adaptive' fully programmable battery management system (test - bulk – absorption - recondition – float – storage) that optimizes the charging process based on the battery's usage. 

The storage mode, when the battery is not in use, help to highly reduce electrolyte stratification and sulfation, both of which are key causes of early battery failure, resulting in less maintenance and aging. To decrease gassing and corrosion of the positive plates in storage mode, the float voltage is reduced to 2.22 V/cell (13.22 V for a 12 V battery). To 'equalize' the battery, the voltage is raised back to the absorption level once a week.

The bulk-absorption-float technique is used to charge lithium-ion batteries. The fully discharged battery recovery function enables reconnecting to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function even after the battery has been drained to zero volts. 

In NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is limited to 50% of the nominal output and the charger is completely silent. After 8 hours, the NIGHT mode automatically finishes. Manually exiting the LOW mode is possible. 

The Bluetooth Smart intergated VE.Smart Network also serves as a wireless device-to-device (D2D) communication network connecting Victron devices. Optional battery voltage and temperature correction is possible with a Smart Battery Sense, Smart Battery Monitor, or SmartShunt (please see below for Victron accessories that are not included with the product).

In a VE.Smart Network, you can synchronize up to 10 battery charges to charge a battery as if they were a single huge charger. The chargers will synchronize their charge algorithms, moving from one charge state to another at the same time, for example, from bulk to absorption. 

There are numerous benefits to synchronized parallel charging:

• Price: Several low power chargers will typically cost less than one high power charger.
• Installation: many low-power chargers may fit more easily in a small space. 
• Redundancy: If one charger fails for any reason, the others will continue to function.
• Flexibility: If more current is required, just add a charger to the network.

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Chargers are overheat protected: if the temperature rises over 50 °C, the output current is lowered. They are also protected from short-circuits and battery reverse polarity.
