Should you opt-in for a Victron Energy IP67 12V 17A charger or a Canbat charger?
When managing a range of battery types, the Victron Energy IP67 12V 17A charger is a versatile solution, capable of charging both lithium and AGM batteries. This makes it an excellent option for users with mixed battery setups, such as those found in boats, cars, RVs, or workshops. However, if your sole focus is charging LiFePO₄ batteries, the Canbat lithium charger is the superior choice.
Designed specifically for LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries, Canbat lithium chargers offer precise charge settings optimized for this chemistry, ensuring safe and efficient battery maintenance. Unlike general-purpose chargers like the Victron, which may face challenges with deeply discharged lithium batteries, Canbat chargers are built to charge LiFePO₄ batteries from 0V. This is particularly important because when a LiFePO₄ battery reaches 0%, the Battery Management System (BMS) enters protection mode, effectively shutting down the battery to prevent damage. To reactivate the BMS and begin charging, a charger must be capable of charging from 0V, a feature that Canbat lithium chargers reliably provide. While the Victron charger claims to support this feature, some users have reported it failing to wake up the BMS, leaving the battery unable to recharge.
For users seeking a hassle-free, plug-and-play solution for LiFePO₄ battery charging, Canbat lithium chargers are the most reliable and effective choice. These chargers are fully compatible with Canbat LiFePO₄ batteries as well as those from other leading brands. Canbat also offers a comprehensive range of IP67-rated lithium batteries in 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V configurations, ensuring high performance and durability across various applications.
Canbat Lithium Chargers:
Conclusion: For mixed battery charging, the Victron Energy IP67 charger provides versatility. However, if you exclusively use LiFePO₄ batteries, Canbat lithium chargers are the best choice, offering dependable, fail-safe performance when recharging even deeply discharged lithium batteries.

Steve M. –
This Victron 17A charger was recommended to me by Brooklyn from Canbat. My LiFePO4 battery went into protection mode because I fully discharged it and my AGM charger wasn’t able to charge it. This Victron charger was able to wake up the BMS and has been charging my battery wonderfully. Excellent support from Canbat and thanks for the free shipping!

Canbat’s customer service is unbeatable. I called them probably 6 times before buying this charger and I annoyed the heck out of them, but they were always polite and ready to answer any question I had. 5 stars for Canbat for their customer service and fast shipping, but only 4 stars for the charger. It works great for lithium batteries, the Bluetooth app is useful and the price is affordable. The only downside to it is that it heats up very much. The charger becomes too hot and it can actually burn your hand if you touch it. Canbat said it’s normal because the charger is made out of aluminum, which heats up really quick but also cools down very quick once it’s done charging. That’s just how the charger was designed by Victron.

Powerful lithium charger with an awesome Bluetooth app that shows you how the battery is being charged. For some reason, I wasn’t able to find this charger anywhere in Toronto. Ordered it from Canbat and it shipped from Vancouver with free shipping. It only took the charger 3 days to arrive Toronto, which is pretty fast.

I would give this BPC121715106 charger 10 starts if I could. Not only does it have default settings for lithium and lead acid, but the Bluetooth app also allows you to fully customize the charge parameters. This basically means you can charge any 12V battery type.
