Victron Energy Smart IP43 Battery Charger with Bluetooth

The Victron Energy Smart IP43 24V 25A 3-Output Battery Charger is an advanced AC-to-DC battery charger designed for reliable charging and maintenance of multiple battery banks. Featuring integrated Bluetooth connectivity, adaptive charging technology, and programmable battery settings, the Smart IP43 provides flexible charging for marine, RV, off grid, and backup power applications.

Designed to charge separate battery banks simultaneously, this charger features independent charging outputs that share the charger's total available current. Its intelligent charging algorithm automatically adjusts to battery conditions, helping maximize charging efficiency and maintain battery health.

With built-in Bluetooth and VE.Direct connectivity, users can configure charging profiles, monitor performance, and integrate the charger with compatible Victron monitoring systems.

• Power Supply Function: Can operate as a configurable DC power supply when appropriately programmed.

Charge Multiple Battery Banks with One Charger

The Victron Smart IP43 Charger is designed for installations that require dependable charging of multiple battery banks from a single AC power source.

Its independent charging outputs allow separate battery banks to receive charging current without requiring individual chargers for each bank. Each output can supply the charger's rated current when sufficient capacity is available, while the combined charging current remains limited to the charger's total output rating.

This makes the Smart IP43 particularly useful for boats, recreational vehicles, and other electrical systems with multiple battery banks.

Adaptive Battery Charging Technology

Victron's adaptive charging technology automatically optimizes the charging process based on how the battery is being used.

Following shallow discharges, the charger shortens absorption time to help prevent unnecessary overcharging. After deeper discharges, absorption time increases to help restore the battery to a full charge.

The adaptive charging process includes bulk, absorption, recondition, float, storage, and refresh stages for supported battery profiles.

Bluetooth Monitoring with VictronConnect

Integrated Bluetooth connectivity allows users to monitor and configure the Smart IP43 Charger directly from the VictronConnect app.

Through VictronConnect, users can adjust charging parameters, select battery profiles, monitor charger operation, and update compatible device firmware.

Bluetooth also supports integration with compatible Victron Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt, and BMV battery monitoring devices through VE.Smart Networking.

Compatible with Lead-Acid and Lithium Batteries

The Smart IP43 Charger supports a variety of battery technologies, including compatible flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Charging profiles can be selected or customized to match the battery manufacturer's recommended charging requirements.

For compatible lithium battery systems, the remote on/off connection can be integrated with an appropriate battery management system to control charger operation.

BatterySafe and Storage Mode

Victron BatterySafe technology helps protect lead-acid batteries from excessive gassing by limiting the rate of voltage increase during charging.

Storage Mode reduces the charging voltage when a battery remains inactive, helping minimize corrosion, gassing, and unnecessary battery aging.

These features make the charger suitable for systems that remain connected to shore power or another AC supply for extended periods.

VE.Direct and Victron System Integration

The integrated VE.Direct interface allows the Smart IP43 Charger to communicate with compatible Victron GX devices, including the Cerbo GX.

This enables additional monitoring and integration with supported Victron energy systems. Compatible configurations can also provide remote charger information through the Victron Remote Management platform.

For installations using multiple Smart IP43 chargers, VE.Smart Networking can synchronize charging behavior across compatible devices.
