The "Charging Graph" tells you nothing and is just for show. It records lots of data, but it cannot be attributed to a specific battery, only to the charger. So although it could be used to monitor battery condition over time, if you have more than one battery it can't. Overall quality is good and should last a lifetime

Bluetooth Range VERY Short and Not Useful

The 12 volt 25 amp charger is a great improvement over my old 12 volt 5 amp charger.The one improvement needed is increasing the Bluetooth range. The Bluetooth range is only around 20 feet. This makes using the VictronConnect app mostly useless unless you are standing righ nect to the charger.

Hands down the best charger/maintainer I've ever used. If you're looking to just recharge batteries, you can get a lot more features elsewhere. It you love your deep cycle batteries and want to maximize their live span, you can not beet this setup. Just to be clear, this is not a car battery charger although it will easily do that. This charger is designed specifically for charging and maintaining battery banks. A high quality automotive charger will charge/maintain your battery bank just like this will charge your car battery. But there is something to be said have the tool specifically designed for the job. I can customize this charger to my battery manufacturer's specific settings. It maintains my battery bank exactly how my manufacturer engendered it to be ... MoreHands down the best charger/maintainer I've ever used.

I really like this charger. It is fully configurable and it is easy to monitor what's going on and view charge history on your phone or computer using Bluetooth. I have it permanently mounted in my camper van and use it when solar is not producing sufficient output. It charges my 200 ah LIFEPO4 battery very predictably and then goes into maintenance mode keeping the battery full but providing output for power consumers such as the fridge. The charger does not have a fan which I suppose would prevent IP67 certification. So, that's nice but it also does run very hot when actively charging. I have mounted it in a well ventilated spot yet it gets hot to the touch. It's not a real problem to me if it does not affect longevity. Nonetheless, I may just end up mounting an ... MoreI really like this charger.

Smart Blue Charger

I'm new to Victron. I bought the charger for use in my 4x4 for those few occasions when the 200Ah LiFePo battery might need to be resuscitated. The charger arrived in great condition - well packed but not over-protected with plastic. I'm techno-neanderthal yet found the Victron App easy to use and pairing was a breeze. So simple my list of curses reserved especially for the e-world turned to appreciation. Fitting is straightforward. Overall - a great experience.

After having my intakes recently cleaned, I chose ML Performance to purchase the Mishimoto oil catch can. This helps to reduce the build up of carbon deposits within the intake system, helping to maintain engine performance. A must-buy modification for direct injection engines! The quality and fitment was excellent, and delivery was as fast and reliable as ever from these guys! Thank you!

Well, I just wanted to give my opinion. I made the normal purchase like any other customer. A few days later I had a problem. I had to make an important trip. Contact ml performance by email to say that the contact service via email is spectacular. I never had a service like that with another store. well I told them that I needed the super urgent material. and well after a great job of coordination and good work from ml performance I received the material and everything went perfect. In general I recommend ml performance and I hope to work with them again in future purchases. thank you

I must say i am thoroughly impressed with how this company does business. I had the wrong item turn up, contacted ML Performance and within 15 minutes they had sorted a replacement item to be sent out the very next day and the return was done via the courier driver. The new item turned up, exactly what was ordered, got it fitted and it looks and performs sweet. I always think anyone can mess up, we're only human afterall, it's how things are dealt with that counts and on that basis alone, i couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks guys and i look forward to buying from you in the future!
