Leave your trailer or boat battery connected in exposed storage without wondering if the charger can handle it. This 12V charger uses an IP67 aluminum housing and storage mode to keep the battery maintained through long idle periods.
A charger that works fine on a bench can fail fast once it lives near water, dirt, oil, or vibration. This unit uses waterproof and shockproof construction with ignition protection, a cast aluminum housing, resin molded electronics, and an IP67 rating to resist water, oil, and dirt exposure. It can stay mounted closer to the battery in harsher storage conditions instead of needing the same kind of protected indoor spot as a basic shop charger.
When a stored battery keeps going flat, two LEDs don't give you much confidence about what the charger is actually doing. Built-in Bluetooth gives you wireless monitoring, configuration, settings changes, and firmware updates through the VictronConnect app, and it lets you view and adjust battery voltage, current, and charger settings from compatible devices. You can check charging behavior without physically accessing the unit, which makes it easier to confirm the charger is working and catch a battery that isn't recovering normally.
Leaving a charger connected for weeks or months can wear a battery down if it just sits at the same float level the whole time. This charger uses an adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm with microprocessor controlled battery management, and storage mode lowers float voltage during inactivity while periodically restoring absorption voltage. For seasonal trailers, boats, or other parked equipment, it keeps charging active without holding the battery at a constant maintenance voltage the entire time.
Some smart chargers won't begin charging when battery voltage drops too far, which makes a deeply discharged battery look done before recovery even starts. This unit applies low current charging to restore deeply discharged batteries before resuming normal charging operation. When a stored battery has fallen hard after sitting, the charger can start recovery instead of refusing to recognize the battery.
Moderate-output charging is useful for more than light maintenance, but long charge sessions still create heat, especially in tighter mounting spots. This charger runs at 25 amps in normal mode, drops to 10 amps in LOW mode, operates at 95 percent efficiency, and uses overtemperature protection that reduces output current as temperatures increase while allowing continued operation. You get stronger charging for single batteries or smaller banks without the charger having to run at full heat all the time.

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at the Vitron Energy Blue Smart Battery Charger. This is a rugged, high-performance 12 volt charger with a built-in Bluetooth and convenient NEMA 5-15 plug. Folks, this is waterproof. It's a shockproof charger. It is fully IP67 rated.
That just means it's sealed against water, dust, and vibration, so it's gonna be perfect for tough environments, whether it's your boat, your RV or camper, workshops, outdoor installations, those kinda things. And because its electronics are fully encapsulated in resin inside of this robust aluminum housing, you're gonna get reliable performance even in the harshest conditions. Now, this is not like basic chargers. This uses smart adaptive multi-staging charging. It has an algorithm that gently guides your battery through bulk, absorption, recondition, flow, and storage phases while it's charging, and that's gonna optimize your battery's health and also extend the life of the battery.
Now, this also supports deeply charged discharged batteries. It can bring them back up to safely charging from zero volts even. It does give a 25 amp of output. It's capable of efficiently charging batteries in the 100 to 250 AH range. So whether you're using lead acid, AGM, gel, or lithium chemistries, this will be a great option.
And again, this does use Bluetooth technology, so you can pair it with the free VitronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet, and then that way you can monitor charge statuses, change settings, receive updates right from your screen. You get a nice 110 outlet plug here. And then, of course, your positive and negative terminals all ready to go for your connection. As far as some quick overall dimensions, when I go outside of the mounting bracket to the outside of the mounting bracket, I get eight and 5/8 inches long. And on a width, I get right about three and 7/8 inches wide overall.
Well, folks, that will wrap up our quick look together at this Vitron Blue Smart 12 Volt Battery Charger. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
