Really nice tool to have in the van. You'll have a lot to do in this spring on the van I see :D How do you plan to use this charger in the van? Will it be connected to an outside outlet when you will camp somewhere and have access to 220V outlets? Good luck with the work!
Thanks for the comment. Yes it will be connected to an outside outlet. Just need to find a spot on the van to make a hole for it, as my van don't have a westfalia AC inlet yet. ua-cam.com/video/r7bnumOgr-g/v-deo.html
There is no battery charing cables in the video, only some tiny test leads. The test leads is bought from no.farnell.com/c/test-measurement/test-leads-test-probes?ost=test+leads&rd=test+leads
If you have two batteries, and one is more discharged, I’m assuming that the charger will automatically stop charging the battery that didn’t need as much charge and continue to charge the other battery?
I will like buy the Victron. Or manufacturer of my AmpereTime 12V/230Ah lithium battery. AmpereTime’s battery charger is more expensive on Japanese Amazon or I would definitely buy from then. Great company. Bought a 24V battery back in Nov but never opened it. Decided to make my system 12V. They let me return the battery after more than 6 months after purchase. Giandel did the same thing with their 24V inverter. They even paid return postage. I’m contacting the company I purchase my 24v-12v converter and 24 volt charger. Both Victron. If they let me return those I’m buying from them.
Hi! brilliant! how do you know the different state of each battery? if each battery begins with a different state of charge, how does it give a different protocolo (bulk, absorption, float..) to each of them? best,
The outputs of multiple-out chargers are FET isolated, so each connected battery is charged according to its independent SOC. Obviously the total charging current across all batteries will not exceed the current rating of the charger (ie a 7A charger will put out a maximum total current of 7A, not 7A per connection), but yes, a depleted battery on output 1 will receive far more of the charge current than a mostly full battery on output 2, etc."
@@Italjohn Thanks for your answer, I actually have the same model and I thought maybe I was missing something, but I guess it just doesn´t offer any more options.

Hi, thank you for producing this excellent informative video. Could i ask a question please? I have just installed 2x115a/h LiFePO4 batteries in my mobility scooter. I am a disability pensioner with issues including weakness in my fingers and mobility. I use my scooter most days and have the charger mounted on the wall and was wondering if it is necessary to physically turn the charger off at the wall once it is charged or is it ok to leave it on and just repeat the connection/disconnection process each time I use it. Many thanks, Gordon
Are the exits simply connected internally in the IP22 or are they really separate? I don’t simply want to connect plus on my lifepo4 and my starter battery…

Really great ideea. A thing to put on my TO DO list as well. Thanks!
3 years later Happy New Year and despite our languages its a great review.
Thank you sir 😀
Great charger! Just don't walk away to far, the BT range sox!
You can’t really lay this down. It should be mounted on the wall. Some versions of this get very hot so they can overheat.
I did not hear the Fan. Does it works at 12 Ampere?

@ Fantastic find. Thanks for the info 😃
@ But it doesn’t tell you how many amp go to each battery, just tells you the whole voltage and amps coming out of it.
Those charging wires are not that thin. A 10mm2 or 8 AWG wire is more than enough to pass 30A up to 5-6 meters.
How you ideally want larger wires so there was very very little voltage drop
Is there no battery leads with the charger ?
No, just the power cord.
That's a bit poor,surely cables should be added.

Can you show how you wire the three batteries for charging. Thanks in advance.
Hi there. There are three outputs on the charger, one for each battery. Ground (negative) are common. Hope this helps.
Common means that we only need to plug one negative cable to one of the batteries? Or should we plug one negative cable in EACH battery?

Negative is common.
Is each one of the three outputs managed separately?
No I don't think so, as the app only have one "side" of adjustments, and not three. I'm guessing it's only three diodes that separates the three outputs.

The batteries are separated by the electronics inside, so no parallel.

I don't know, sorry. try to download the manual a look if you can find any info on the topic.
Does it charge different types of batteries simultaneously?
I really don't know, but I think not. See the manual here: www.victronenergy.com/chargers/blue-smart-ip22-charger#manuals
Wats the use of this gadget bro?
I'm not sure what you mean? The app or the charger?
For brushing your horses coat
For a 20 Amps charging you should use at least a 12AWG cable no longer than 3 Feet.
That's sounds about right 👍
Here I am back! :) Number 986!

They are separated. See comment below here.
