Victron Energy Bpc123047102 Battery Charger

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the new professional battery charger with built-in Bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats and camper-vans. The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge for 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 Volt /cell (13,2 Volt for a 12 Volt battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, which are major causes of early battery failure. When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 50 Percent of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually. Protected against overheating: Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 50 Degree Celsius, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail. The history screen contains historical usage data over the charger’s lifetime and detailed statistics for the last 40 charge cycles. The VE.Smart Network is a wireless device to device (D2D) communication network between Victron products, using Bluetooth Smart. The VE.Smart Network opens the possibility to optimize the charge process: a Smart Battery Sense, Smart Battery Monitor or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more battery chargers. A Smart Battery Monitor or SmartShunt will also communicate battery current. Synchronize up to ten battery chargers in a VE.Smart network to make them charge a battery as if they were one large charger. The chargers will synchronize the charge algorithm between them. They will simultaneously switch from one charge state to another, for example from bulk to absorption.
