Is there such thing as an XLR adapter for the victron blue smart chargers?

XLR adapter
What sort of XLR adaptor and what do you want to use it for? Most likely you could make your own if you have a specific requirement.
I know this is an old post, but I have the same question as above. I have a victron IP65 24V charger and I need to connect it to a pride mobility scooter, which is running 2 - 12V LiFePo4 batteries as direct replacements for the AGMs. Both batteries are monitored/controlled via bluetooth/app, the victron also obviously has a monitoring app. I want to adapt the victron charger to a 3 pin XLR so I can charge the batteries with the Victron, onboard the scooter, through it's charge port. Currently, I take the seat off and charge the batteries with the scooter's wiring harness off, and jumper the batteries to make 24V. It works fine, it's just a hassle. Can the appropriate XLR male connector be wired to the business end of the IP65 charger to feed the scooter through its female XLR port?
thanks for any thoughts
It may well be possible to do this. Unfortunately, I can't advise how to wire the male XLR connector because I don't know how the female end is wired within the scooter.
Hi wkirby,
I can and would verify the pos, and neg positions of the 3 pins on the scooter. I found a victron adapter online, but my local dealer says it isn't available.
VECIP65-XLR. It has an inline 30amp blade fuse on the positive, and the victron lead plug. I can apparently order it from Australia (it could take months in transit), but I think I can build one with parts available at an electronics supply.
Outside of the physical locations of the pos/neg/neg on the xlr adapter, is there any reason that a correctly wired lead-to-xlr adapter woudn't work to charge the lifepo4 batteries via the scooter's charge port?
Any advice is appreciated.
