Victron Energy BlueSmart IP22 12/30 120V | NEMA 5-15P Battery Charger

The Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/30 is a Bluetooth-enabled 120V AC smart battery charger delivering 30A of charge current to 12V lead-acid and lithium battery banks via screw terminal battery connections and a standard NEMA 5-15 plug. As the highest-output model in the 12V Blue Smart IP22 range, the 12/30 is ideally suited for larger battery banks in marine, RV, commercial vehicle, and stationary backup power applications where fast, precise recharging is a priority.

Built into a compact aluminium enclosure rated IP22, the Blue Smart IP22 12/30 combines professional-grade adaptive six-stage charging, full VictronConnect programmability, VE.Smart Networking, and a 40-cycle charge history log in a wall-mountable form factor. With 93% efficiency and 0.5W standby consumption, the Blue Smart IP22 12/30 generates significantly less heat than conventional chargers of equivalent output while delivering reliable, precisely controlled charging across lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries.

Key Features:

• Adaptive Six-Stage Charge Algorithm — Microprocessor-controlled adaptive charging executes Test, Bulk, Absorption, Recondition, Float, and Storage stages; the adaptive feature automatically optimizes the charge process relative to actual battery usage patterns, with full Absorption, Float, Storage, Recondition, and temperature compensation parameters programmable via VictronConnect Expert mode
• VE.Smart Networking — Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to other Victron VE.Smart-enabled devices including Smart Battery Sense, BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, and SmartShunt for remote battery voltage and temperature compensated charging; up to ten IP22 chargers can be synchronized in parallel to charge a single battery bank as one large charger, with simultaneous charge stage transitions across all units
• NIGHT and LOW Output Modes — Reduces output current to a maximum of 50% of nominal (15A) for completely silent, fanless operation; NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours, while LOW mode remains active until manually ended — ideal for overnight charging in living spaces or noise-sensitive environments
• Storage Mode with Weekly Equalization — Activates automatically after 24 hours without discharge; reduces float voltage to 13.2V to minimize gassing and positive plate corrosion, then raises voltage to absorption level once per week to prevent electrolyte stratification and sulfation
• 40-Cycle History Log — Stores lifetime usage data and detailed statistics for the last 40 charge cycles, accessible via the VictronConnect app; allows review of charge trends and battery health over time
• Fully Discharged Battery Recovery — Initiates charging from 0V to recover deeply discharged lead-acid batteries; automatically reconnects to fully discharged Li-ion batteries with internal disconnect function

The Blue Smart IP22 12/30's VE.Smart Networking capability enables a level of charge optimization not possible with standalone chargers. When paired with a Smart Battery Sense, the charger receives live battery temperature and voltage data directly at the battery terminals — correcting for cable voltage drop and applying precise temperature compensation throughout the charge cycle. When paired with a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor or SmartShunt, battery current data is also available, enabling tail-current-based absorption-to-float transitions for a more accurate and complete charge cycle. Models with different current ratings can be mixed and synchronized within the same VE.Smart network, providing flexible scaling of charge capacity without requiring a single high-current unit.

The Blue Smart IP22 12/30 features eleven LEDs for at-a-glance charge stage monitoring — TEST, BULK, ABSORPTION, RECONDITION, FLOAT, STORAGE, and READY — along with a MODE button for selecting NORMAL (14.4V), HIGH (14.7V), RECONDITION, or LI-ION charge profiles without requiring a smartphone. Battery reverse polarity protection is fuse-based, providing reliable protection without requiring a charger reset following a wiring error. A three-output variant — the Blue Smart IP22 12/30 (3) — is available separately for applications requiring simultaneous charging of up to three independent 12V battery banks from a single unit. VE.Smart Networking is enabled on all IP22 chargers with serial number HQ2024xxxxx and later.
