This is a 30A AC-to-DC battery charging kit that charges your RV's house battery bank from a standard 120V AC outlet, whether that's shore power at a campground, a portable generator, or your RV's onboard generator. The kit is built around a Victron Blue Smart IP22 charger, with a breaker and battery cable included for a complete AC-to-house charging connection.

The charger plugs into any standard 120V AC outlet (NEMA 5-15) and converts that AC power into regulated DC current to charge your 12V house battery bank. This means you can top up your batteries at a campground pedestal, from a portable generator, or from your RV's built-in generator, without relying on solar or engine charging.

This kit uses a Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/30(1) charger, which:

• Delivers up to 30A of charging current
• Plugs into a standard 120V NEMA 5-15 household-style outlet
• Includes Bluetooth monitoring via the Victron app for real-time charge status
• Supports charge profiles for lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries

This kit is typically best suited for:

• RVs with a 12V lead-acid or lithium (Li-ion) house battery bank
• Owners who regularly stay at RV parks or campgrounds with shore power hookups
• Owners who rely on a portable or onboard generator to recharge batteries
• 12V systems pairing shore/generator charging with solar or engine charging for a complete setup

This kit includes:

• 1 × Victron Blue Smart IP22 12/30(1) Charger, 120V NEMA 5-15
• 1 × Blue Sea Panel Mount Breaker, 40A/48VDC
• 6 ft × 8 AWG tinned battery cable, red, 5/16" lug to bare end
• 3 ft × 8 AWG tinned battery cable, red, 5/16" lug to 5/16" lug
• 9 ft × 8 AWG tinned battery cable, black, 5/16" lug to bare end

A 40A/48VDC panel mount breaker is included between the charger and the house battery bank. This protects the wiring and battery in the event of a short circuit, and lets you manually disconnect the charging circuit for maintenance.

The kit includes pre-terminated 8 AWG tinned battery cable sized for 30A charging runs:

• Red cable with 5/16" lug to bare end, for connecting to the charger's output terminal
• Red cable with 5/16" lug to 5/16" lug, for the breaker-to-battery connection
• Black cable with 5/16" lug to bare end, for the ground/negative connection

All cable is tinned for corrosion resistance in marine and RV environments.

Yes, this kit is designed to be DIY-friendly for anyone comfortable with basic 12V wiring. Since the charger connects to 120V AC, confirming your outlet, cord, and inlet wiring is done correctly should be reviewed by a qualified RV technician or electrician if you're unsure.

Yes. Optional add-ons include:

• Higher-amperage AC chargers for larger battery banks
• Solar or engine (DC-DC) charging kits with a DC busbar, to combine multiple charging sources
• Battery monitoring accessories
• System monitoring displays for tracking charge status at a glance

Final wiring, breaker sizing, and connection points should be reviewed against your vehicle and RV's electrical system and manufacturer guidelines. When combining this kit with other charging sources, make sure total combined charging current does not exceed your battery manufacturer's recommended charging current. Consult a qualified installer or electrician if you're unsure about any step of the installation.
