Victron Energy. Chargers, monitoring and DC-DC.

Victron goes into boats, caravans, serious 4WD touring rigs and vehicle fit-outs. We supply the Blue Smart charger range, the 500A SmartShunt, Orion-Tr DC-DC converters and Victron solar, and fit the chargers in boats, caravans and vehicles — the Blue Smart chargers and the Orion-Tr are on the shelf. Ask us about the wider inverter and battery management range for a bigger install.

Our position

The Bluetooth/VictronConnect setup is why it suits marine, caravan and touring systems.

What we carry

The Victron range.

Blue Smart IP65 chargers

The IP65 end of the range, dust and water resistant by Victron's rating — BPC121531014R at 12V 15A, BPC122531014 at 12V 25A, and BPC241331014 at 24V 13A off 230V mains. Single output, IP65 rated for dust and water, and set up through VictronConnect on your phone rather than a row of dip switches you cannot read in the dark.

SmartShunt battery monitoring

The SHU050150050 is Victron's 500A SmartShunt, with Bluetooth.

Orion-Tr DC-DC converters

The ORI122441110 steps 12V up to 24V, isolated, 15A and 360W. Isolation matters on a boat or a truck where the two systems must not share a ground. We also carry the 24|12 the other way, for running 12V accessories off a 24V machine.

Solar panels

Victron 12V solar in 185W.

Worth knowing

The honest take.

We fit the Victron chargers we sell. On a boat or a touring rig, a failed charger 200km offshore costs far more than the difference in price.

FAQ

Victron, answered.

Why Victron over a cheaper Bluetooth charger?+
Two reasons. Victron rate the Blue Smart IP65 chargers as dust and water resistant, which matters in a boat or an engine bay. And the Blue Smart chargers and the SmartShunt both set up through the VictronConnect app, so the system reads as one thing rather than three.
Do you install Victron?+
Yes — Victron chargers in boats, caravans and vehicles, as part of the fit-out. Tell us the setup and we'll work out the install.
