Victron Energy Smart IP43 Charger 12/30 (1+1) 120–240V – PSC123051095

The Victron Energy Smart IP43 Charger 12/30 (1+1) is a powerful and intelligent mains battery charger designed for 12V battery systems in campervans, motorhomes, caravans, boats and off-grid installations.

Delivering up to 30A of charging current to the main battery bank, it also features a separate 3A starter battery output. This makes it ideal for installations where both a leisure battery bank and engine starter battery need to be maintained from one charger.

With a wide 120–240V AC input range, the charger is suitable for use with UK and international shore power supplies. Its adaptive charging system automatically manages the charging process to help improve battery performance and extend service life.

Intelligent Adaptive Charging

The Smart IP43 Charger uses an advanced adaptive charging algorithm that adjusts the absorption period according to how deeply the battery has been discharged.

This helps prevent unnecessary overcharging when the battery has only been lightly used, while still providing a complete charging cycle after deeper discharge.

The charging process includes:

• Bulk charging
• Absorption charging
• Float charging
• Storage mode
• Reconditioning mode where selected

Storage mode reduces the float voltage during extended connection periods, helping minimise corrosion and water loss in suitable lead-acid batteries.

Main and Starter Battery Charging

The 1+1 output configuration provides:

• Up to 30A for the main service or leisure battery bank
• Up to 3A for a separate starter battery

The starter battery output is ideal for maintaining an engine battery while the vehicle or boat is connected to shore power.

Please note that the second output is intended for starter battery maintenance and does not provide the full 30A output.

Built-In Bluetooth Smart

Integrated Bluetooth allows the charger to be configured, monitored and updated through the VictronConnect app on a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.

Through VictronConnect, you can:

• View charging status
• Monitor voltage and current
• Select the correct charging profile
• Adjust charging parameters
• View charger history
• Update product firmware

This makes the Smart IP43 particularly useful for professional installers and users who want greater control over their battery charging system.

Battery Compatibility

The charger can be configured for a wide range of 12V battery types, including:

• AGM batteries
• GEL batteries
• Flooded lead-acid batteries
• Calcium batteries
• Victron lithium batteries
• Other compatible LiFePO4 batteries

The correct charging profile must be selected for the battery manufacturer’s recommended charging voltages.
