Victron Blue-Smart Charger

[chris-s]

Our boat came with one of these three-way output shore power chargers fitted, with one output connected to the lead acid engine battery and a second to the agm house batteries.

I've been trying to find out how it manages batteries at different states eg will it charge your engine battery in bulk whilst house batteries are in float? I don't belive it does which seems to make it a bit pointless, a bit like not begin able to configure each output for different battery types.

Just been through that. The only Victron to do it is Phoenix IP43, but it has (to me) undesired properties.
All others will charge all the channels the same way (as one).

The three channels are isolated internally to prevent unwanted draws between the banks.

I wanted genuinely separate charging and separate monitoring in the app - the solution was to buy 3 separate Victrons (IP67 in my case).

Totally agree with the above - on the Bluesmart the charging profile for the battery connected to Slot 1 applies to slots 2 & 3.
