Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger

Probably the best dollar value for putting amps into a Victron LiFePo4 battery. It doesn't have a remote shut off to allow it to be controlled by a BMS, so it pairs well with something that has remote off switch like the BMS 12/200 or Cyrix-Li. I bought this instead of the Phoenix charger because it was nearly half the price and I didn't need the extra features of the Phoenix because I had the BMS 12/200. I like that it's bluetooth and shows up on the Victron connect app.

The heat control is good on the Blue Smart because it has a fan whereas my DC|DC converter gets smoking hot because it's passively cooled.

Fully recommend.

This was the first Victron Item I purchased from BlueMarine. The first charger I received would not connect to the bluetooth app. I'm thinking to myself "this is going to be a big pain to get resolved". Nope... Called their number, a human (Victor) answered the phone, in a matter of minutes diagnosed a bad bluetooth antenna, and had a new one on the way to me. I subsequently ordered 2 more Victron items and have spoken to Victor several times for advise on installing them in my Four Wheel Camper and toy hauler. We all know Victron stuff is top-notch, really nice to deal with an company that is the same, and their price was the best I found. Thanks!

All good!! Free shipping and only took a few days.

Charger works as described/expected. I use it on a small 200ah portable solar cart. It's been so cloudy lately, that I needed a good lifepo4 battery charger for my system. I also wanted to stick with Victron. The fan is very quiet. The bottom of the charger does get very warm so try to leave some space under it if you mount it. I used 6 awg wire with Ferrules on the ends. If you get this charger for lifepo4 batteries, be sure to change the mode to LI-ION. It does remember the last setting you had it on when the power is removed and plugged back into the grid. Either way, you should always double check the mode because the other settings can destroy lifepo4 batteries. It works perfectly within the Victron app and it joined my Victron network easily. It has a built-in 40amp fuse. I still have a 40amp DC breaker between the charger and battery to protect the wires. The only con I can think of at the moment is: There is no way to 'lock' the mode button to keep from accidentally pressing it and changing the mode to a different charge cycle. Still, a 5 🌟 charger.
