  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for Blue Smart Charger models. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Victron Energy may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
  • Page 4: Personal Precautions

    Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS Consider having someone close enough by to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
  • Page 5: Charger Location

    Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow the charging instructions of the manufacturer.
  • Page 6 14. FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY: Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
  • Page 7 15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
  • Page 8 1. Quick user guide A. Connect the charger to the battery. B. Connect the charger to the wall socket. The TEST LED will indicate that the mains cable is connected to the wall socket. All charge status LEDs will flash in case of reverse polarity connection, short-circuit or if a 12V charger is connected to a 24V battery.
  • Page 9: 'Must Know' Features And Facts

    2. ‘Must know’ features and facts 2.1 Blue Smart version Set-up, monitor and update the charger (add new features when they become available) using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. 2.2 Ultra high efficiency “green” battery charger With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard.
  • Page 10 ambient temperature during the test phase and compensates for temperature during the charge process. The temperature is measured again when the charger is in low current mode during float or storage. Special settings for a cold or hot environment are therefore not needed.
  • Page 11 Some battery charger manufactures recommend pulse charging to reverse sulfation. However, most battery experts agree that there is no conclusive proof that pulse charging works any better than constant voltage charging. This is confirmed by our own tests. 2.10 Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries Li-ion batteries do not suffer from sulfation.

    3. Charge algorithms 3.1 Smart charge algorithm with optional reconditioning for lead-acid batteries Charge voltages at room temperature: MODE FLOAT STORAGE RECONDITION Max V@% of Inom NORMAL 14.4 13.8 13.2 16.2@8%, max 1h HIGH 14.7 13.8 13.2 16.5@8%, max 1h LI-ION 14.2 13.5...
  • Page 13 The charger can be switched to low current mode (see technical specifications) by pressing the MODE button during 3 seconds. The MODE LED will blink when in low current mode. The low current mode remains activated until the MODE button is pressed again during 3 seconds.
  • Page 14 STORAGE Keeps the battery at reduced constant voltage to limit gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Slow self-discharge is prevented by an automatic weekly refresh of the battery with a short absorption charge. READY The battery is fully charged when the FLOAT or STORAGE LED is on.
  • Page 15 3.4 Triggering a new charge cycle A new charge cycle will start when: The charger has reached float or storage, and, due to a load, current increases up to maximum current during more than four seconds. The MODE button is pressed during charging. The AC supply has been disconnected and reconnected.
  • Page 16 Remark: sulfation can sometimes be partially reversed by repeated application of the RECONDITION MODE. 3.7 Can be used as a power supply The charger will supply DC loads when no battery is connected.
