3. Features
a. Bluetooth setup and monitoring (Using VictronConnect)
Easily setup, monitor or update the charger firmware using the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (such as
a mobile phone or tablet).
b. Multi-stage charge algorithm
The multi-stage charge algorithm is specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over
extended periods.
c. Adaptive absorption
Adaptive absorption monitors the battery’s response during initial charging and intelligently determines the appropriate
absorption duration for each individual charge cycle. This ensures that the battery is fully recharged regardless of the
discharge level or capacity and avoids excessive time at the elevated absorption voltage (that can accelerate battery aging).
d. Temperature compensation
Charge voltage is automatically compensated depending on the ambient temperate; this ensures that the battery is charged
at the optimal charge voltage regardless of the climate and avoids the need for manual settings adjustments.
Temperature compensation is not required and automatically disabled when in LI-ION charge mode.
e. High efficiency
The blue smart charger range is up to ~95% efficient; resulting in lower power usage, less heat generated and cooler
operation.
f. Durable and safe
i. Engineered to provide years of trouble-free and dependable operation in all usage conditions
ii. Protection against overheating: output current will be reduced if the charger temperature increases to 50°C
iii. Integrated cooling fan to maintain low charger temperature during highly demanding conditions and avoid the need for
current reduction
iv. Protection against short circuit: If a short circuit condition is detected the charger will immediately shut down
v. Protection against reverse polarity connection: If the charger is incorrectly connected to a battery with reverse polarity the
user replaceable fuse will blow
g. Silent operation
Charger operation is totally silent whilst the cooling fan is off; the cooling fan is only activated during demanding periods,
when it is necessary.
If the NIGHT or LOW mode is activated; the maximum output current is reduced to 50% of nominal and the cooling fan will
always remain off.
h. Lithium Ion compatible
Compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries; when the integrated LI-ION charge mode is selected the charge cycle settings are
altered to suit.
If the charger is connected to a battery where under voltage protection (UVP) has tripped, the blue smart charger range will
automatically reset UVP and start charging; many other chargers will not recognise a battery in this state.
Warning: Never charge a Li-ion battery when its temperature is below 0°C.
i. Storage stage
An additional stage to extend battery life whilst the battery is unused and on continuous charge.
j. Recondition stage
An optional stage that can partially recover/reverse lead acid battery degradation due to sulfation; typically caused by
inadequate charging or if the battery is left in a deeply discharged state.
k. Low current mode
An optional mode that limits the maximum charge current to a significantly reduced level; recommended when charging lower
capacity batteries with a high current charger.
