Victron makes the best 12V charging products out there. Bluetooth access is critical for off grid and industrial use

My last charger of another brand worked well, but rather noisy.This Victron charger has no fan, so it is silent.Works as it should, and app is easy to use.I like that the app keeps track of the accumulated "amps put into the battery" as it charges.This a great feature, will be able to keep track over time the state / capacity of a battery.Normally as a battery ages the capacity decreases due to various reasons.The 15a version, a few reviewers stated it ran hot.I wanted to avoid that so I got this 10a version.I did not see any reviews of this 10a version, stating it ran hot.During the charging of a 100a LiFePO4 battery for 7hrs,the hottest measurement in one spot with my hand held pyrometer was 119 degrees F.Thats not bad.The included battery clamps appear to be on the flimsy / cheap side.I have not used them, nor do I plan to.I prefer to use the included ring terminals for battery connection.No issue with the ring terminals, and work well for tight connection to battery.Charger is somewhat expensive. But after using, and seeing what it can do, no regrets.

I've heard great things about Victron Energy chargers and DC electrical devices. The charger is excellent and was able to fully charge a 100 amp hour lithium LiFePO4 battery that my Battery Tender could not fully charge. My only quibble is with the connectors. I built a device which I had planned using the battery connector cable as either the line for charging or operating the device. Not chance of charging and having the device on in that simple setup. But the connectors between the charger cable and the battery cable are proprietary. I could deal with that but Victron does not seem to sell the male side of the connectors.

This charger is part of a simple system for powering a portable refrigerator in your car. Fridge, 100 A-H lithium battery, and this charger plugged into the AC outlet in your vehicle. I have slowly replaced all my battery electronics with Victron Blue Smart electronics. The app allows you to see the status and set some of the operating parameters. There is some learning curve for the user interface which should tick down 1/2 star rating but the flexibility is still much better than almost everything else.Note: Ford trucks have a 400W plug in the console. Seems to work with the Jeep AC outlet at 150W too.

Victron is a Holland-based company and they make top-notch stuff that's designed to meet some very strict codes (e.g., marine). This charger (which is not made in China -- but it is manufactured in India) is totally reliable and anyone here badmouthing it simply has no idea what they're talking about. This is a great charger for all your charging needs -- LifePo4 batteries as well. And the easy-to-use app tells you just about everything you'd want to know about the charging activities and gives you many configuration options -- down to the last detail -- so you can set up the charger for your specific batteries.

When the charger works, it seems to have a lot of great features. Really like the app, and being able to monitor it on my phone and get extra data. Wish they didn't have a proprietary connector for their clips, if they just used an SAE connector I could use existing clips/ports. When I bought this I kept hearing about how much better Victron was vs the 'Chinese chargers' and how if there was an issue you'd have fantastic customer support. Well let me tell you its not as advertised or perceived by others.I had an issue where my diesel truck batteries (2) were discharged completely. I put the charger on with the 'recondition' mode on. I checked on it during the day and it seemed to be ok, so i left them overnight. When I came back the next morning the garage was full of sulfur smell and the battery had boiled over. With 1 battery toast the 2nd battery was ok but I had to replace both batteries. I also have a nice acid stain on my garage floor to remind me of victron.I reached out for customer support. Victron DOESN'T have any they point you to the point of sale. In this case some company just sells it on amazon, but after reaching out they sent me to another company that is supposed to provide the tech support. This company has been responsive but they are essentially middle men with victron. Victron as far as I can tell has only responded once asking for information which I gave back immediately. Been over a month and I'm not sure I want to trust this charger on my lithium batteries anymore.Buy at your own risk.

This is a great charger. Bluetooth works great but you do need to be close.

At first I was sceptical, especially the price. Victron came through this system is well worth the costs if you have several different battery charging needs.
