xVictron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 24V 16A Single Output 230V
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 24/16 is a single-output 230V battery charger designed for 24V lead-acid and lithium battery banks. It connects via a standard CEE 7/7 (Schuko) plug and includes Bluetooth built in, allowing full monitoring and configuration from a smartphone. Suited to professional installers, workshop environments, and vehicle or marine applications where a reliable, programmable charger is required.
Key Features
- 16A charge current output for 24V battery banks, suitable for medium to large capacity batteries.
- Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows monitoring and adjustment via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- IP22 ingress protection rating: protected against solid objects over 12mm and against direct water spray.
- CEE 7/7 (Schuko/French) mains plug fitted as standard, compatible with standard European and UK-with-adapter sockets.
- Adaptive seven-stage charging algorithm covers bulk, absorption, float, storage, equalisation and recondition phases.
- Compatible with AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistries.
- Charge algorithm and battery presets are fully configurable via VictronConnect, including custom voltage thresholds.
- Temperature-compensated charging when used with an optional temperature sensor accessory.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP22 range uses an adaptive charging algorithm that adjusts absorption time based on actual battery condition rather than a fixed timer. This means a battery that is only partially discharged will not be overcharged, while a deeply discharged battery receives the full charge cycle it needs. The seven-stage process includes a recondition phase for recovering stratified or sulphated lead-acid batteries, which is particularly useful in seasonal or standby applications.
Bluetooth is integrated directly into the charger, not added via a dongle. Through VictronConnect, you can view real-time charge status, voltage, current, and charge stage, as well as configure battery type, charge voltages, and storage mode behaviour. This level of visibility is useful on a workshop bench or when the charger is installed in a locker or compartment where physical inspection is impractical.
The IP22 rating makes this charger suitable for use in covered outdoor areas, garages, and vehicle bays where some exposure to moisture is possible, though it should not be used in direct rain or fully wet environments. The single output configuration means this unit charges one battery bank. For applications requiring simultaneous charging of multiple banks, Victron offers multi-output variants in the same range.

Installation Notes
This charger connects to a standard 230V mains supply via the fitted CEE 7/7 plug. Ensure the DC output cables are correctly rated for the installation and that connections to the battery are secure and correctly polarised. When charging lithium batteries, confirm that the battery management system (BMS) is compatible with external chargers and that the correct lithium charge profile is selected in VictronConnect. For permanent installation in a vehicle or marine application, secure the unit to prevent movement and ensure adequate ventilation around the casing. If in doubt about any aspect of the installation, consult a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician.
