The Blue Smart IP 67 12/13 12V 230V battery charger from Victron Energy (MPN BPC121313006) is a smart, high-performance battery charger of the latest generation with 13A charging current for charging 12V 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. Only the operating environment for which these chargers are designed differs.
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 functions are available.
Key features of the Blue Smart IP67 12/13 13A battery charger

Fully encased: 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 covered with resin.
One of the highest charging efficiencies of all time!
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 charger is characterized by its microprocessor-controlled, “adaptive” battery management. “Adaptive” means that the charging process is automatically adapted to the type of battery use.
- "Bulk" (constant current phase)
- "Absorption" (constant voltage phase)
- "Recondition" (regeneration phase)
- "Float" (float voltage phase)
- "Storage" (storage mode)
Storage mode: Less maintenance and aging when the battery is idle
Storage mode is activated whenever there has been no discharge within 24 hours. In storage mode, the trickle charge 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 pro week the voltage is increased to the level of the gassing voltage. This creates a type of equalization charge that prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation - the two main causes of premature battery failure.
Significant differences to the Blue Smart IP 65 family
The two device groups differ in the following points:
- the protection class, the IP 67 devices have the best possible protection
- Blue Smart IP 65 devices have a 7-stage charging algorithm, the IP67 has 5 stages
