Victron Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 16A 1 Bank 120V Charger - Dry Mount

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 24VDC 16A 1 Bank 120V Charger – Dry Mount is purpose-built for serious boaters and anglers who depend on reliable auxiliary power systems in challenging marine environments. Whether you're running extended fishing trips, liveaboard cruising, or managing a dedicated auxiliary battery bank on a center console, this charger delivers the intelligent charging intelligence that keeps your 24-volt lithium or AGM house batteries topped off without manual intervention. The IP22 rating ensures protection against saltwater spray and deck washdowns, making it equally at home on a freshwater lake or offshore Gulf platform.

Built by Victron Energy—the marine industry standard for battery management—this single-bank charger accepts standard 120-volt AC shore power and converts it to precisely regulated 24-volt DC output at 16 amps, ideal for maintaining a dedicated house or thruster bank without overcharging sensitive battery chemistry. The dry-mount design means no messy gel or liquid electrolyte cooling requirements; the unit operates cleanly in engine rooms, lazarettes, or weatherproof compartments. Multi-stage charging profiles automatically switch between bulk, absorption, and float phases, extending battery life and eliminating the guesswork of manual charging cycles that plague older chargers.

This charger excels in systems where a single 24-volt battery bank powers trolling motors, windlasses, bow thrusters, or integrated electronics—especially common on larger fishing vessels and trawler-style cruisers. Its compact footprint (7 × 3 × 11 inches, 3.3 lbs) fits tight marine electrical cabinets, and the dry-mount configuration eliminates corrosion concerns that plague traditional wet-cell chargers in marine cabins. Installation requires standard AC inlet access and a clean DC connection to your 24-volt bus; most experienced boaters complete wiring in under an hour, though professional installation is recommended for shore-power integration.
