Description This is the 17A Blue Smart IP67 12V Battery Charger by Victron Energy. One of the most popular models thanks to its effective power class, comprehensive features, tough waterproof construction, and affordable price tag. The Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger also features built-in Bluetooth communications, so you can monitor the unit and your battery bank from your smartphone. The Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Charger can be used on 12V battery systems in your workshop, on motor vehicles, boats and camper-vans. Model: BPC121715106 Victron 17A Blue Smart IP67 12V Battery Charger Features Smart Battery Charging… To Perfect Condition The 7-step charging algorithm gets the best out of your battery. The charger gives the battery the power it needs, maintains its health, ensures better performance… and a longer life. Recovery of Deeply-Discharged ‘Dead’ Batteries Unlike other brands, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger Waterproof will attempt to recharge a deeply-discharged battery by force-feeding it with a low current. Normal charging will then be resumed as soon as there is sufficient voltage across the battery terminals. Check The Status Of Your Battery Remotely Blue Smart IP67 Charger Waterproof is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app. Completely Encapsulated Waterproof, shockproof and ignition protected. Water, oil or dirt will not damage the Blue Smart IP67 Charger. The casing is made of cast aluminium and the electronics are moulded in resin. The Highest Efficiency Ever! Setting a new industry standard: with 92% efficiency or better, these chargers waste three to four times less heat. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard. Adaptive Charge Algorithm The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used. Storage Mode Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use. The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V 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 sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure. Also Charges Li-ion Batteries Li-ion batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption – float algorithm. Fully Discharged Battery Recovery Function Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with internal disconnect function. Protected Against Overheating Can be used in a hot environment such as a machine room. Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail. Two LEDs For Status Indication Victron keeps it simple and straightforward for the on-unit status lndicators. Yellow LED: bulk charge (blinking fast), absorption (blinking slow), float (solid), storage (off) Green LED: power on Victron 12/17-120 Charger Specifications in Brief Input voltage range and frequency : 100-135 VAC / 45-65 Hz Efficiency : 95% No load power consumption : 0.5W Charge voltage ‘absorption’ : Normal: 14,4V, High: 14,7V, Li-ion: 14,2V Charge voltage ‘float’ : Normal: 13,8V, High: 13,8V, Li-ion: 13,5V Charge current, normal mode : 17A Charge current, LOW : 6A Case Material : Aluminium Battery-connection : Black and red cable of 1,5 meter(5 ft) 120 V AC-connection : Cable of 1,5 meter (5 ft) with NEMA 5-15 plug Protection category : IP67 Weight : 2.3kg (5.3lb) Dimensions : 9.9 x 21.9 x 6.5cm / 3.9 x 8.6 x 2.6inches Downloads Spec Sheet User Manual 17A Blue Smart IP67 12V Battery Charger by Victron
