xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12V 7A with CEE 7/17 Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/7 is a single-output, Bluetooth-enabled battery charger rated at 12V 7A, designed for professional and trade use in vehicles, boats, and off-grid installations. Its IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments where a standard charger would not be appropriate. It connects to the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, giving installers and end users full visibility of the charge process without additional hardware.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for installation in exposed locations.
- Bluetooth built-in: connects directly to the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android for real-time monitoring and configuration, no dongle required.
- 7-stage adaptive charging algorithm: automatically adjusts charge profile to suit battery condition, including bulk, absorption, float, and storage modes.
- Compatible with multiple battery chemistries: supports lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery types.
- CEE 7/17 mains plug: standard European Schuko-compatible plug for 230V AC supply.
- DC connector output: pre-fitted DC connector for direct battery connection, included in the retail package.
- Temperature-compensated charging: adjusts charge voltage based on ambient temperature to protect battery health.
- Supplied in retail packaging: suitable for resale or end-user delivery.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, splash-resistant housing that allows installation in locations where moisture or dust is a concern. At 7A output on a 12V battery, this charger is well suited to maintaining and charging batteries in the 14Ah to 150Ah range, covering most leisure, marine, and light commercial vehicle applications. The adaptive algorithm means the charger responds to the actual state of the battery rather than following a fixed time-based cycle, which reduces the risk of overcharging and extends battery service life.
Bluetooth connectivity is handled entirely within the unit. No separate interface cable or VE.Direct dongle is needed. Through VictronConnect, the user can select the battery type and capacity, view live charge data, and access historical charge logs. This makes commissioning and fault-finding straightforward on site. The charger also supports a recondition mode for recovering deeply discharged lead-acid batteries, which is a practical feature for installers dealing with neglected or stored batteries.
This retail variant is supplied with the CEE 7/17 (Schuko-compatible) mains plug and a DC connector for battery connection. The retail packaging makes it appropriate for direct sale to end customers or inclusion in a kit. Weight is 0.93kg, making it easy to ship or carry to site.

Installation Notes
This charger is designed for connection to a standard 230V AC supply via the supplied CEE 7/17 plug. It is suitable for competent self-installation in most leisure and vehicle applications, but any fixed wiring or integration into a vessel or vehicle electrical system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine engineer. Ensure the battery chemistry setting in VictronConnect matches the battery being charged before first use. Do not use with battery chemistries not listed as compatible. The IP65 rating permits installation in damp environments but the unit should not be submerged or subjected to direct water jets.
