"Green" battery charger extremely high efficiency

With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers produce up to four times less heat than the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption is reduced to 0,5 watts, about five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Durable, safe and quiet

- Low thermal stress on electronic components.

- Protection against the entry of dust, water and chemicals.

– Overheat protection: the output current will decrease as the temperature rises up to 60°C, but the charger will not fail.

- The chargers are completely silent: without cooling fan or other moving parts.

Reconstruction

A lead-acid battery that has been insufficiently charged or left discharged for days or weeks will wear out due to sulfation. If caught in time, sulphidation can sometimes be partially reversed by charging the battery from low current to a higher voltage.

Recovery mode for fully discharged batteries

Most chargers with reverse polarity protection do not recognize and therefore will not recharge a battery that has been discharged to zero or near zero volts. However, the Blue Smart Charger it will attempt to recharge a fully discharged battery at low current and resume normal charging once sufficient voltage is developed across the battery terminals.

The VictronConnect application

Set, read and configure the Blue Smart IP65 charger via your smartphone. You can view the status of your charger and battery and even control your charger functions using the VictronConnect app. On your screen the indication of voltage and current is available by default.

The Victron battery charger is an intelligent battery charger for lead acid and deep cycle batteries. The unit is designed for home or business use and features a compact size that can be placed under a counter or inside equipment cabinets.

How does the Victron IP22 charger work?

The Victron IP22 charger is a simple, rugged and reliable charger designed for deep discharge or PV batteries. It features a two-stage charging algorithm that ensures optimal battery performance and longevity. In the first stage, the charger applies constant current to the battery, which raises it to its maximum voltage. In the second stage, the charger maintains a constant voltage, which allows the battery to safely absorb as much energy as possible.

What is a deep discharge battery?

A deep discharge battery is a lead-acid battery designed to be discharged and recharged regularly. Deep cycle batteries are used in applications where a high depth of discharge (DOD) is required, such as in renewable energy systems.

Lead-acid batteries work by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The lead-acid battery was invented in 1859 by the French physicist Gaston Planté and is the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Lead-acid batteries consist of lead dioxide (PbO2) and spongy lead (Pb) electrodes in a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte solution.

When a lead-acid battery discharges, the sulfate ions in the electrolyte are converted to sulfate radicals, which then react with the lead electrodes to form lead sulfate (PbSO4). During charging, the reverse reaction occurs and lead sulfate is converted back into sulfate ions.

The capacity of a lead-acid battery is usually measured in ampere-hours (Ah), which is the amount of current that can be delivered over time. Depth of discharge (DOD) is the percentage of capacity that has been depleted during discharge. For example, if a 100 Ah battery is discharged at 50 A for two hours, the DOD would be 50%.

Deep discharge batteries are designed to withstand repeated deep discharges, making them ideal for renewable energy systems where power generation may not always be
