Description
The Blue Smart IP67 Charger can wake up deeply-discharged batteries. It will charge batteries without needing to see voltage, allowing batteries in a discharged protection state to still take charge. This is good for any batteries that have an internal BMS. This charger comes with a built-in Bluetooth feature of the Victron IP67 Battery Charger. Simply connect your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and access real-time information with the VictronConnect app.
The Victron IP67 Charger has an operational temperature range of -30°C/-22°F to 60°C/140°F. It also comes with battery reverse polarity (fuse) protection, helping protect against accidental connection errors. It also comes with a short-circuit protection. It measures 3.9 x 8.6 x 2.6 inches and weighs 5.3 lbs. With a low no-load consumption of only 0.5W, the 12V IP67 Battery Charger ensures energy efficiency.

The IP67 is a nice charger! With the Bluetooth App makes it nice to monitor and customize for your LiFePo4 battery or other types of cells. This is for 12v batteries, so if you are in 24v config, you can also use there 24v charger.

I super appreciate the LiFePO4 Parameters. I have SOK marine 206ah. Your settings are so specific above – wondering if anything should be different for my specific battery.
