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, with the exception of a few functions, identical to the chargers in the Blue Smart IP 65 and IP 22 device families. 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 features become available.
Key Features of 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 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 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 no discharge has occurred within 24 hours. In storage mode, the float charge voltage is then reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 24 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a 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.
Key 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
