About the Blue Power Waterproof Range

The Blue Power Waterproof charger is the new professional battery charger Waterproof . Neither water, oil nor dirt will be able to damage the Blue Power IP67 charger. Its housing is made of cast aluminum and the electronic components are molded in resin. This gives the Blue Power Waterproof extreme shockproof and fire resistance.

The Blue Power Waterproof charger can be used on devices both in your workshop and in motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars, motorcycles, boats and motorhomes.

Blue Power's seven-stage charging algorithm brings out the best in your battery. The charger provides the battery with the power it needs, maintains its good condition, guarantees better performance... and a longer useful life.

Unlike other brands, the Blue Power Waterproof charger will attempt to recharge a deeply discharged battery by force-feeding it at low current. Then, as soon as there is enough voltage on the battery terminals, it will charge normally again.

Additionally, the Blue Power Waterproof will provide you with the following special features:

• High efficiency: With an efficiency of up to 94%, these chargers generate up to four times less heat compared to the
  industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, consumption is reduced to 0.5 watts, five to ten times less than the industry standard.
• Storage Mode: Storage mode is activated when the battery has not been discharged in 24 hours. In storage mode, the float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for 12 V batteries) to reduce gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised again to the absorption level to “equalize” the battery. This feature prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation, the main causes of battery failure.
• Prepared for Lithium Technology: LiFePO4 batteries are charged with a simple initial charge – absorption – float algorithm.
• Overheat protection: Can be used in a hot environment such as a machine room. The output current will reduce as the temperature increases up to 60ºC, but the charger will not fail .
