Review on πŸ”‹ Victron Energy Blue Smart IP67 Waterproof Battery Charger (Bluetooth) - 12/24V, 5-25Amp by Samiran Pusarla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Charges lithium without overheating!

I bought this to replace another brand. Our RV came with a Noco, but when I switched to a lithium battery, I found that the Noco's "Lithium" mode was not fully charging the lithium battery (it was too low a voltage). Another issue I encountered with the Noco was overheating. If I left our electric fridge plugged in in the camper, the Noco would often overheat and shut down. It was a relatively easy install, had to remove the old one and install the new one in a row. The connections on the battery and air conditioning ends were plug and play. Bluetooth connection was easy and allowed lithium mode to be selected. The Victron charges at the correct voltage and hovers at 13.4 as it should. With a 25A output it never overheats and I can now leave the fridge plugged in when we have shore power (meaning no need to pack a 3-way extension cord, 2 more cords and an AC-DC converter).
