Use Cases
The Blue Smart IP67 12/17 (1) Charger is built for permanently installed marine applications where moisture is unavoidable. Mounted in a bilge, anchor locker, or engine bay of a vessel, it provides reliable 12V charging at 17A regardless of spray, condensation, or the occasional immersion. IP67 certification ensures long-term reliability in the harshest marine environments.
Beyond marine, this charger suits permanently installed 4WD accessories, industrial vehicles, and outdoor equipment that must keep operating through wet seasons and dusty conditions. The 1.5 m ring-terminal cables allow direct connection to battery terminals in tight or hard-to-access installations, with VictronConnect Bluetooth providing wireless monitoring from outside the vehicle or vessel.
App Control & Monitoring
Built-in Bluetooth connects to the free VictronConnect app (iOS and Android). Monitor charge status, configure battery type, set charge current, and view historical data — all from your phone. No additional hardware or cables required.
