Victron Energy Rubber Bumper for IP65 Charger

The Victron Energy Rubber Bumper for IP65 Charger is a durable protective cover designed to safeguard your Blue Smart IP65 Charger from accidental impacts, drops, and workshop wear. While the charger already features dust and water protection, this heavy-duty rubber bumper adds an extra layer of mechanical protection, helping it withstand the knocks and bumps of daily use in garages, workshops, vehicles, and outdoor environments.

Made from high-quality, shock-absorbing rubber, the bumper wraps securely around the charger’s body, protecting vulnerable edges and corners. It features an integrated easy-carry handle for convenient portability and also allows you to hang the charger from a hook when not in use—ideal for organised storage and space-saving setups.

Features & Benefits

• Durable Rubber Protection : Provides an extra protective layer that shields the charger from knocks, drops, and workshop impacts.
• Extended Charger Lifespan : Reduces wear and tear, helping your IP65 charger last longer in tough working environments.
• Easy-Carry Handle : Integrated handle makes transportation simple and comfortable, ideal for technicians and mobile users.
• Hook-Ready Design : Can be hung on a wall or workshop hook for convenient storage when not in use.
• Perfect Fit for IP65 Chargers : Custom-molded to securely fit compatible Blue Smart IP65 Charger models without slipping.
• Rugged, Workshop-Friendly Build : Designed to withstand rough handling in garages, automotive shops, and field operations.
• Available in Two Size Options : One size fits 12/10, 12/15 & 24/8 models; the other fits 12/25 & 24/13 models.

Use Cases

• Workshops / garages / mechanic shops : where chargers may be moved around, placed on benches or floors, where debris, tools or heavy objects might hit them. The bumper protects against everyday knocks.
• Mobile installations / field work : e.g. for people using the charger in a vehicle, boat, van, or remote off-grid setup: vibrations, transit impacts, and rough handling are common, so extra physical protection helps prolong lifetime.
• Frequent transport / re-location of charger : if you move the charger between job sites (say between different projects, vehicles, or storage locations), the bumper helps avoid accidental drops or knocks.
• Tight storage spaces / wall mounting / hanging : because of the handle and possibility to hang from a hook, the charger + bumper becomes more storage-friendly and less likely to get damaged lying on floors or crowded shelves.

Value Propositions

• Longevity & protection: The main charger body (even though IP65) may still sustain damage from physical impacts — the bumper absorbs shocks and protects corners/edges, reducing risk of cracks or dents. This means fewer replacements or repairs, better ROI on your charger.
• Better portability & convenience: The handle and hanging-option make the charger easier to move around or store — especially useful if you don’t have a fixed charging station.
• Cost-effective insurance: Compared to what a damaged charger might cost, this bumper is a relatively inexpensive way to extend service life — small insurance for a critical, probably expensive, piece of kit.
• Suitability for rough / tough environments: In places like workshops, garages, or in contexts where loose tools, heavy equipment, and frequent movement are common — the bumper makes the charger more resilient and reliable.

Local Market Positioning in Tanzania

• Fit for demanding conditions: Many users may operate in rough workshops, small garages, auto repair shops, boat services, off-grid battery setups, remote installations, etc. The bumper significantly reduces risk of accidental damage in those situations.
• Value-for-money accessory: Given that chargers are likely to be relatively expensive, this small accessory helps protect that investment — making it a wise purchase even in cost-sensitive markets.
• Enabling mobility and flexibility: In markets where stationary charging setups may be impractical (due to space, electricity reliability, or need to move equipment), the bumper’s portability advantage becomes quite relevant.
• Lower maintenance/replacement costs: If spare parts or replacements are harder to source locally, avoiding damage becomes even more important — this bumper helps in that goal.
