Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 24V 8A (1 Output) 230V CEE 7/7

The Victron Blue Smart IP67 24/8 is a single-output, 230V mains-powered battery charger rated at 8 amps for 24V battery systems. Designed for professional and trade use, it suits marine, automotive, industrial and off-grid applications where a weatherproof, Bluetooth-enabled charger is required. The IP67 rating means it can be permanently installed in exposed or damp environments without additional enclosure protection.

Key Features

• IP67-rated enclosure: fully dustproof and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre depth.
• Built-in Bluetooth allows monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional interface hardware required.
• Charges 24V lead-acid batteries (flooded, gel, AGM) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, with selectable charge algorithms.
• Seven-step adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge quality and extends battery service life.
• CEE 7/7 (Schuko/French) mains plug for direct connection to standard European 230V sockets.
• Storage mode and recondition mode included, making it suitable for seasonal or standby battery maintenance.
• Single output: one charger, one battery bank. Output current: 8A at 24V.

Product Overview

The Blue Smart IP67 range is built for installations where the charger is mounted in a fixed position and exposed to moisture, spray or condensation. The IP67 enclosure eliminates the need for a separate weatherproof housing, which reduces installation cost and complexity in bilge compartments, engine bays, vehicle underfloor spaces and outdoor battery enclosures. The CEE 7/7 plug connects directly to any standard Schuko or French-type 230V socket, so no hardwiring is required at the mains side.

Bluetooth connectivity is built into the unit rather than added as an accessory. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can view real-time charge status, adjust the charge algorithm, set battery capacity, and review historical data. This is particularly useful for remote or hard-to-access installations where physical inspection of the charger is inconvenient. The app also allows the charge voltage and absorption time to be fine-tuned for specific battery types.

The seven-step algorithm covers bulk, absorption, float, storage and recondition phases. The recondition step applies a controlled overcharge to recover stratified or partially sulphated lead-acid batteries. For lithium batteries, a dedicated LiFePO4 algorithm is available, which omits the float and recondition stages that are inappropriate for lithium chemistry. The charger will not begin charging a battery that is deeply discharged below a safe threshold without a manual override, which protects against charging a damaged or incorrectly connected battery.

Installation Notes

This charger connects to a standard 230V CEE 7/7 (Schuko/French) socket and requires no mains hardwiring. Ensure the DC output cables are correctly rated for the installation and that connections to the battery are secure and correctly polarised before applying power. For permanent fixed installations in vehicles or vessels, secure the unit to a stable surface using the mounting points provided. Although the IP67 rating provides protection against water ingress, the unit should not be submerged in use. For lithium battery installations, confirm the battery BMS is compatible with the charger's LiFePO4 charge profile before commissioning. If in doubt, consult a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrical engineer.
