This charger pairs particularly well with Fogstar high-capacity 12V lithium batteries, including but not limited to the Fogstar Drift 230Ah, Fogstar Drift 280Ah, Fogstar Drift 300Ah, as well as the Fogstar Drift 230Ah (Gen2) and Fogstar Drift 300Ah (Gen2). It is a strong choice for maintenance charging, storage charging, and everyday battery care across multi-battery systems where higher charge current and flexibility are required.
The Victron Blue Smart IP22 12V 30A 3 Output Charger is a powerful, high-efficiency intelligent charger designed for clean indoor environments such as workshops, garages, technical rooms, and off-grid system cabinets. With a robust 30A total output and an adaptive charging profile, it delivers fast yet controlled charging for 12V systems where accuracy, scalability, and long-term battery health are critical.
This charger is ideal for users who want significantly quicker recharge times than lower-current Victron Blue Smart models, while still protecting long-term battery health.
Multiple Battery Charging Capability
This model features three isolated outputs, allowing up to three separate 12V batteries to be charged simultaneously. The total 30A output is automatically distributed across all connected batteries, making it ideal for systems with multiple battery banks such as marine installations, vehicle electrics, off-grid setups, and workshop environments.
Key Features
-
Adaptive Multi-Stage Charging Control:
A microprocessor-controlled charging process automatically adjusts voltage and current based on battery condition and usage, helping minimise stress while supporting consistent long-term performance. -
High-Efficiency Operation:
Designed to reduce wasted energy and excess heat, improving efficiency and reliability during frequent or extended charging sessions. -
Configurable Charging via VictronConnect:
Charging behaviour can be adjusted using the VictronConnect app, including charge stages, reconditioning functions, and advanced parameters via Expert mode. -
Storage Mode for Reduced Battery Ageing:
When batteries remain unused, the charger can reduce voltage to limit ageing effects, then periodically refresh the charge to help maintain battery condition. -
Lithium-Compatible Charging:
Supports lithium battery charging using a dedicated charge approach suitable for modern Li-ion and LiFePO4 batteries. -
Deep Discharge Recovery:
Capable of initiating charging even after severe discharge, helping recover batteries that many standard chargers fail to detect. -
Night and Low Output Modes:
Allows reduced output current for quieter operation or gentler charging when required. -
Clear Status Indication and Charge History:
LED indicators display active charge stages, while historical charging data can be reviewed through the app. -
VE.Smart Networking Support:
Can communicate wirelessly with compatible Victron devices to share sensing data and improve overall charging accuracy across a connected system.
