MODEL 1: Victron Blue Smart IP22 SLA/LiFePO4 Charger

The Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the wireless solution to monitor voltage and current, to change settings and to update the charger when new features become available.

High Efficiency
With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0.5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.

Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm
test - bulk – absorption - recondition – float – storage. The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.

Storage Mode
Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use. The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode, float voltage is reduced to 2.2V/cell (13.2V for a 12V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries
LiFePO4 batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption – float algorithm.

NIGHT and LOW setting
When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 25% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually.

Protected against overheating
Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 50°C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.

Eleven LEDs for status indication
Charge algorithm: TEST / BULK / ABSORPTION / RECONDITION / FLOAT / STORAGE / READY.

MODEL 2: Queens 12V 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Slimline

Lithium batteries are the future of portable power mainly due to their benefits over AGM and lead-acid batteries in terms of performance, safety and lifespan. Your LiFePO4 maintains steady voltage over the life-cycle of your battery, meaning nominal voltage is held over time so your devices work for longer and your battery doesn’t need to be replaced frequently.
Our newly designed 12V 100Ah Lithium battery is built-in Grade A battery cells, with better performance and longer life , they're easy to store in a car or caravan on your next adventure.

IMPORTANT: While our LiFePO4 batteries are top-notch & can be wired with other batteries of its kind, it is not advisable to connect any LiFePO4 batteries in parallel or series. This poses several risks and should only be done in emergency situations. If you must wire batteries together, make sure you are familiar with the correct procedure or seek help from a professional if needed.

What Are the Risks of Connecting Lithium Batteries in Series or Parallel?

• Series connection of any battery is generally not recommended. This can cause "barrel effect" which results in the weakest cells dominating the battery, permanently damaging and reducing its lifespan.
• Anything more than this can also impact your battery's overall health and performance.
• Batteries may be damaged due to excessive cycling or overcharging.

Suggestions From the Outbax Team

• It's better to go for batteries with higher voltage when running high-power electrical appliances instead of wiring two battery packs together.
• We have available batteries with larger discharge parameters for fast charge/discharge requirements.
• Our batteries are also available in 200Ah and 300Ah for larger capacity demands.

Kit bonus: you will also get an extra battery parallel cable for free!
