Victron Battery Chargers FAQ
How big a charger do I need for my battery bank?
A common starting point for lead-acid banks (flooded, AGM, or gel) is a charger rated at roughly 10–20% of the bank's amp-hour capacity. Lithium (LiFePO4) banks can usually accept more current, but the battery manufacturer's maximum charge rate is the limit to respect. Also leave headroom for DC loads that run while the charger is on, like refrigeration. See our lithium battery systems page if you're planning a chemistry change.
What do IP65 and IP67 mean on a charger?
IP stands for Ingress Protection. The first digit rates protection against dust and the second against water: IP65 resists water jets, and IP67 handles brief immersion. Even a sealed charger should be mounted where it can shed heat, away from bilge water and fuel vapors.
Can one charger handle both my house and starting batteries?
Many marine chargers have more than one isolated output, so each bank charges separately without being tied together. Check the output count on the product listing before you buy. If your charger has a single output, a DC-DC converter can keep a second bank topped up from the house bank.
