xVictron Smart IP43 Charger 24V/16A (1+1) 120-240V
The Victron Smart IP43 Charger 24/16(1+1) is a mains-powered battery charger designed for professional and trade use. It delivers 16A of charge current to a 24V primary battery bank, with a second output for maintaining a starter battery. The wide 120-240V AC input makes it suitable for use across the UK, Europe and North America.
Key Features
- 24V output at 16A charge current for the primary battery bank.
- 1+1 output configuration: one main charge output plus one isolated output for a starter or auxiliary battery.
- Wide AC input range of 120-240V, compatible with UK, European and North American mains supplies.
- IP43 rated enclosure, providing protection against solid objects over 1mm and water spray at an angle up to 60 degrees from vertical.
- Bluetooth built-in via VictronConnect, allowing configuration and monitoring from a smartphone without additional hardware.
- Adaptive 7-stage charge algorithm with battery-safe absorption, float and storage modes.
- Compatible with lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid battery chemistries.
Product Overview
The Smart IP43 range uses Victron's adaptive charge algorithm, which adjusts absorption time based on the previous discharge. This prevents overcharging on shallow cycles while still delivering a full charge after deep discharge. The 7-stage process includes bulk, absorption, float, storage, recondition and equalisation modes, depending on battery type and configuration.
The (1+1) output topology is particularly useful in marine, vehicle and off-grid installations where a separate starter battery needs to be kept topped up independently of the main service bank. The second output is isolated and operates at a fixed float voltage, so it will not interfere with the primary charge cycle. Configuration of charge profiles, battery type and voltage thresholds is handled entirely through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, with no need for a separate interface cable or dongle.
At 3.7kg, the unit is compact enough for installation in confined spaces such as engine bays, battery compartments and panel boards. The IP43 rating means it can tolerate incidental moisture exposure, though it should not be installed in locations subject to direct water ingress or submersion.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC battery systems. Ensure the AC supply is correctly fused and that the charger is mounted in a ventilated location away from flammable materials. Verify battery chemistry settings in VictronConnect before first use, as incorrect charge profiles can damage batteries. For lithium battery banks, confirm compatibility with the specific BMS in use before connecting. This charger is not intended for grid-tied solar applications and does not require G98 or G99 notification.
