Victron Energy Blue Power IP20 12V 7A Smart Charger

High efficiency quality 4 stage Smart Charger (can also be used as power supply)

4 Stage Adaptive Charging
No load power consumption: 0,5W

Charge Voltage 'Absorbtion': 14,4 V
Charge Voltage 'Float': 13,8 V
Charge Voltage 'Storage': 13,2 V

Charge Current: 7A
Efficiency: 94%

Eyelet connection terminals.
AC plug is euro,(was purchased in the Netherlands) UK power plug adapter and Manual provided.

The charger has had very little use, it was used for 3 weeks as part of a mobile power supply unit with a gel battery and a 350w inverter. Perfect working order.

Manufacturer description:

New indusrty standard 93% efficiency or better, these chargers waste three to four times less heat. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – float – storage
The Blue Power charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used. (led status indication)

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage Mode

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure
