Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A Charger

This charger pairs particularly well with Fogstar mid-range and higher-capacity 12V lithium batteries, including but not limited to the Fogstar Drift 230Ah, Fogstar Drift 280Ah, Fogstar Drift 300Ah, as well as the Fogstar Drift 230Ah (Gen2) and Fogstar Drift 300Ah (Gen2). This makes it a strong choice for maintenance charging, storage charging, and everyday battery care where a higher charge rate is beneficial.

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 20A Charger is a smart, high-efficiency charger built for clean indoor installations, workshops, and controlled environments. With a powerful 20A output and an intelligent adaptive charge profile, it delivers stable, battery-friendly charging for 12V systems used in off-grid builds, garages, technical rooms, and workshop benches.

This model has one output for a 12V battery or a suitably configured 12V battery bank.

This charger is ideal for users who want quicker recharge times than lower-current Victron Blue Smart models, while still protecting long-term battery health.

Key Features

• Adaptive Multi-Stage Charging Control:
  A microprocessor-controlled charging process automatically adjusts voltage and current based on battery condition and usage, helping to reduce battery stress while supporting consistent performance over time.
• High-Efficiency Operation:
  Designed to minimise wasted energy and excess heat, improving reliability during frequent or extended charging sessions.
• Configurable Charging via VictronConnect:
  Charging behaviour can be adjusted using the VictronConnect app, including charge stages and reconditioning options, with advanced parameters available when Expert mode is enabled.
• Storage Mode for Reduced Battery Ageing:
  When a battery remains unused, the charger can lower voltage to help minimise ageing effects, then periodically refresh the charge to maintain battery condition.
• Lithium-Compatible Charging:
  Supports lithium battery charging using a dedicated charge approach suitable for modern Li-ion and LiFePO4 batteries.
• Deep Discharge Recovery:
  Capable of initiating charging even after severe battery discharge, helping recover batteries that many standard chargers fail to detect.
• Night and Low Output Modes:
  Allows reduced output current for quieter operation or gentler charging when required.
• Clear Status Indication and Charge History:
  LED indicators show active charge stages, while historical charging data can be accessed through the app.
• VE.Smart Networking Support:
  Compatible units can exchange sensing data with other Victron devices. Victron specifies VE.Smart support for serial numbers HQ2024xxxxx and later.
