Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12V 17A hermetic waterproof single-output - BPC121713006

The Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/17 (1) from Victron Energy is a high-tech, smart, and completely sealed device designed for the most efficient charging of 12-volt batteries with a current of up to 17 A. Thanks to the highest class of protection against moisture and dust (IP67), the apparatus operates flawlessly in the most extreme conditions: on water transport, in motorhomes, as part of solar power plants, and at industrial facilities with high levels of pollution and risk of mechanical damage.

Advanced engineering solutions, such as a built-in Bluetooth module, an adaptive charge algorithm, and a stable power supply mode (Power Supply Mode), make this model a versatile and reliable tool for professional maintenance of the vast majority of existing battery types.

Key Advantages of the Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/17 Model

1. IP67 Standard (100% protection against water and dust): the housing is absolutely hermetic, the device remains fully operational even when completely immersed in water.
2. Built-in Bluetooth Module: convenient remote monitoring and deep configuration of parameters from a smartphone, tablet, or PC via the free proprietary VictronConnect app.
3. Adaptive 6-stage Algorithm: smart automation independently selects the ideal charging cycle by assessing the current physical state of the battery.
4. Outstanding Efficiency (up to 95%): guarantees minimal electricity losses and extremely low heat generation. The cast aluminum housing with cooling fins effectively dissipates heat, working as a powerful passive radiator.
5. Universal Compatibility: flawless operation with lead-acid batteries (AGM, GEL, classic starter types), as well as with modern lithium cells (LiFePO4).
6. Storage Mode (Storage Mode): an intelligent function that eliminates destructive overcharging and significantly extends the service life of lead-acid batteries during long periods of inactivity.
7. Recondition Mode (Recondition Mode): manual activation of this algorithm allows to "revive" deeply discharged batteries and partially restore lost capacity by reversing the destructive plate sulfation process.
8. Power Supply Mode (Power Supply Mode): the device is capable of acting as a reliable and stable source of direct current for the onboard network.
9. Advanced Safety System: integrated electronic protection against short circuits, reverse polarity, and overheating guarantees absolutely safe operation.

Technical and Software Features

• Current Limitation Setup: the device supports two modes — delivering the full rated current (17 A) or charging with a reduced current. This allows for the safe maintenance of both high and low capacity batteries with a single universal device.
• Bluetooth Interface: allows for the remote reading of operating parameters, changing settings, and updating firmware "over the air" via VictronConnect in just one to two minutes.
• 6-stage Smart Charging: the algorithm flexibly adapts to the battery's needs to achieve maximum performance and longevity. The user can also manually adjust the parameters of each individual charge stage.
• Intelligent Temperature Compensation: automatic voltage adjustment depending on the ambient temperature reliably protects batteries from boiling in hot weather and undercharging in freezing cold, substantially extending their working resource!
• Continuous Status Monitoring: the charger continuously assesses the battery's discharge depth and automatically launches the optimal operating stage.
• Non-volatile Memory: all set parameters and session statistics are securely saved in the internal memory of the apparatus and are not reset when disconnected from the 220 V grid or when terminals are removed from the battery.
• User Presets: the intuitive VictronConnect interface allows for instant switching between built-in factory charging profiles and your individual settings.

Fields of Application

• Marine and River Fleet: an ideal choice for yachts, motorboats, and ships due to its absolute waterproofness. The durable metal mounting withstands heavy rolling and wave vibrations, while Bluetooth allows mounting the charger in hidden and hard-to-reach niches.
• Automotive and Motorcycle Machinery: prompt and safe charging of any starter batteries; the compactness of the device simplifies its daily use in a garage and challenging field conditions.
• Campers and Motorhomes: reliable maintenance of the charge of service batteries and stable power supply for onboard electronics during travels.
• E4-10R Certification: full electromagnetic compatibility. The device does not cause interference to sensitive onboard electronics (ABS, media systems, lighting) and is itself reliably protected from the effects of external radio signals and mobile networks.
• Industrial Sector: efficient maintenance of backup battery banks and providing uninterrupted power for critically important equipment.
