xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Battery Charger 12V 5A with CEE 7/16 Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12V 5A is a compact, single-output battery charger designed for 12V lead-acid and lithium battery maintenance in vehicles, boats, caravans and off-grid equipment. It connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, giving installers and end users full visibility of the charge process without needing to be physically present at the unit.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for use in damp or exposed locations.
- Bluetooth connectivity built in: monitor charge status, adjust settings and view history via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android.
- Compatible with multiple 12V battery chemistries: supports AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm: conditions, bulk charges, absorbs, and maintains the battery to extend service life.
- CEE 7/16 (Europlug) mains input: supplied ready to use with a standard two-pin European plug on a 230V AC supply.
- Storage mode and recondition function: automatically switches to a low-voltage maintenance mode and can recover deeply discharged batteries.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.647 kg: easy to install in confined spaces or transport between sites.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, splash-resistant housing that makes it practical for permanent installation in engine bays, battery compartments or outdoor enclosures where a standard charger would be at risk from moisture. The IP65 rating means it can tolerate condensation and incidental water exposure without damage, which matters in marine, caravan and agricultural applications where conditions are rarely controlled.
Bluetooth integration is handled entirely within the unit. There is no dongle or additional hardware required. Through VictronConnect, you can select the correct battery profile, view real-time voltage and current, check charge state and review historical data. This is particularly useful for remote or hard-to-access battery installations where physically reading an indicator light is impractical.
The seven-stage algorithm includes a bulk phase, absorption phase, float maintenance, and an automatic storage mode that activates when the battery has been fully charged and left connected for an extended period. A recondition cycle is available for sulphated lead-acid batteries. These stages are handled automatically once the correct battery type is selected in the app.

Installation Notes
This charger is supplied with a CEE 7/16 Europlug and is intended for use on 230V AC supplies. Ensure the mains socket used is rated for continuous load and is protected by an appropriate circuit breaker. The DC output connector should be connected to the battery terminals observing correct polarity. For permanent installations in vehicles or marine applications, secure the unit away from direct water spray and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Although this charger is suitable for competent DIY installation in low-voltage DC applications, any work involving the mains supply should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
