Victron Blue Smart 24/8 IP67 charger 24V / 230V

The Blue Smart IP 67 24/8 24V 230V battery charger from Victron Energy (MPN BPC240813006) is a smart, high-performancebattery charger with 8A charging current for charging 24V AGM, gel, and lead-acid batteries as well as lithium-ion batteries. In terms of functionality, the Blue Smart IP67 series is identical to the chargers in the Blue Smart IP 65 and IP 22 device families, with the exception of a few functions. The only difference is the operating environment for which these chargers are designed.

Thanks to integrated Bluetooth, the Blue Smart IP 67 battery chargers offer a wireless solution for monitoring voltage and current, adjusting settings, and updating the charger when new features are available.

fully enclosed: waterproof, shockproof, and fire-retardant

Water, oil, or dirt cannot damage the Blue Smart IP67 charger. The housing is made of cast aluminum and the electronics are coated with resin.

one of the highest charging efficiencies ever!

Setting a new industry standard: With an efficiency of at least 92% or more, these chargers produce three to four times less heat.

adaptive 5-stage charging algorithm

The Blue Smart 24/5 IP67 charger features microprocessor-controlled, "adaptive" battery management. "Adaptive" means that the charging process is automatically adjusted to the type of battery use.

• "Bulk" (constant current phase)
• "Absorption" (constant voltage phase)
• "Recondition" (regeneration phase)
• "Float" (charge maintenance voltage phase)
• "Storage" (storage mode)

Storage mode: Less maintenance and aging when the battery is idle

Storage mode is always activated when there has been no discharge within 24 hours. In storage mode, the charge retention voltage is then reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 24 V battery) to minimize gas evolution and corrosion on the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is increased to the gassing voltage level. This achieves a kind of equalization charge that prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation—the two main causes of premature battery failure.

significant differences from the Blue Smart IP 65 family

The two device groups differ in the following respects:

• the IP 67 devices have the best possible protection
• Blue Smart IP 65 devices have a 7-stage charging algorithm, while the IP67 has a 5-stage algorithm
