Victron Blue Smart IP22 24V 16A 3-output battery charger

The Blue Smart IP22 24V 16A 3-output charger is the wireless solution for monitoring voltage and current, changing settings and updating the charger when new features become available. - High efficiency: With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat than the industry standard. And when the battery is fully charged, power consumption drops to 0.5 watts, which is five to ten times lower than the industry standard. - 6-step adaptive charging algorithm: test – constant current – absorption – reconditioning – maintenance – preservation - The Blue Smart charger includes an “adaptive” charge management system controlled by a microprocessor. The “adaptive” function automatically optimises the charging process based on the type of use of the battery - Storage mode: less maintenance and battery capacity loss during non-operating phases - Storage mode is activated when the battery is not subject to discharge for 24 consecutive hours. In storage mode, the maintenance voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. The voltage is returned to the ‘absorption’ level once a week to balance the battery charge status. This process prevents electrolyte stratification and sulphation, the main causes of premature battery ageing. - Also charges Li-ion batteries (LiFePO₄) LiFePO₄ batteries are charged using a simple constant current – absorption – float algorithm. - NIGHT and LOW settings - When NIGHT mode or LOW mode is active, the output current is reduced to no more than 50% of the nominal output and the charger will be completely silent. NIGHT mode ends automatically after 8 hours. LOW mode can be deactivated manually - Thermal protection: The output current is reduced if the temperature exceeds 50°C, but the Blue Smart charger will continue to operate.
