Leave your 24V battery system connected in rough storage without wondering if a basic maintainer is falling behind. This 24V charger uses an IP67 aluminum housing and adaptive charging, so the battery stays maintained through long idle periods.
A charger that works fine indoors can fail fast once it lives around water, dirt, oil, and 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 a 24V battery system in harsher storage conditions instead of needing the same protected location as a basic shop charger.
When a stored 24V battery system keeps coming back weak, LED-only chargers leave too much guesswork. Built-in Bluetooth gives you wireless monitoring, configuration, settings changes, and firmware updates through the VictronConnect app, and it lets you view and adjust voltage, current, charge stage, and charger settings from compatible devices. You can check charging behavior without physically accessing the charger, which makes it easier to confirm the unit is working and spot a battery that isn't recovering normally.
Leaving a 24V battery connected for weeks or months can shorten its life if the charger just holds 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 boats, equipment, and other 24V systems that sit between uses, it keeps charging active without treating long-term storage like a constant maintenance hold.
Some smart chargers won't begin charging when voltage drops too far, which can make a deeply discharged battery look finished before recovery even starts. This unit applies low current charging to restore deeply discharged batteries before resuming normal charging operation. When a neglected 24V battery has fallen hard after sitting, the charger can begin recovery instead of refusing to recognize it.
Moderate-output charging still needs to stay stable during longer maintenance cycles, especially in warmer conditions or tighter mounting spots. This charger runs at 12 amps in normal mode, drops to 4 amps in LOW mode, operates at 96 percent efficiency, and uses overtemperature protection that reduces output current as temperatures increase while allowing continued operation. You get steady 24V charging for maintenance and moderate recovery without the charger having to run hot the whole time.

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Battery Charger. This is a rugged, weatherproof 24-volt charger with a built-in Bluetooth and convenient NEMA 5-15 plug. Now, folks, as I mentioned, this is a professional-grade charger, that IP67 rated, it just means it's fully sealed against water, dust, and dirt. So that's great for marine use, RV off-grid, workshops, outdoor use, those kind of things. Pretty much anywhere where you have tough conditions, it has a robust aluminum housing, and it also has a resonant, encapsulated electronic board inside of here.
That's gonna ensure long-lasting performance. And again, it's designed for 24-volt battery systems. It's gonna deliver 12 amps of adaptive multi-stage charging, and that's gonna get gently. Excuse me, that's gonna gently guide your battery through the bulk, absorption, float, and storage phases, which is gonna optimize your battery's health and potentially extend your battery's life. Now, this also supports recovery from deeply discharged batteries, so it can give you a nice kickstart.
Maybe a flat battery can be brought back to life with that setting as well. So it's pretty, pretty nice feature. Now, one of the standout features that I personally like is this has a Bluetooth connectivity option. You simply pair the charger with the free VictronConnect App on your smartphone or tablet. And I just wanna put out there that app, I'm pretty amazed with it, honestly.
It's got a lot, a lot of features on it. Whether you're just connecting to a few of the Victron components or the whole system, you can look at pretty much every little detail you want, and monitor, and tweak things all from that app. So check it out, make sure you're using it. If you're not, I think you'll be pretty impressed. Now, again, with effective charging, versatile battery chemistry support and strong protection features, like reverse polarity, short circuit, and over temperature safeguards, this is a great option for you.
And it's affordable and it gives you reliable power and also a peace of mind. Now, let's wrap things up with some quick dimensions. Overall length, I got 8 5/8 inches long by 3 7/8 inches wide, and about 2 5/8 inches tall. As always, folks, if you have any questions about this or any other products, reach out to us here at etrailer. We're more than happy to assist you. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
