What is the difference between victron BPC123048022 and BPC12304400? Anybody know?
That isn’t a complete part number, unfortunately, do you have the rest of it?
If I google this number the reply is: The part number BPC12304400 refers to the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/30 (3). This is a professional-grade, high-efficiency battery charger widely used in marine, automotive, workshop, and camper van applications. I realise there is one digit difference between the 2 but even then they are both advertised as the same item ie 12/30/3 outputs!!
That’s because Google search is run by AI, which is useless at best and entirely wrong a lot of the time. In this case it appears to just be going off the “BPC1230” since that indicates an IP22 12/30 charger, and it just made up the rest of it. BPC12304400 is missing one digit, it’s an incomplete part number - that’s why I asked if you had the rest of it.
BPC123048022 is a 3-output IP22 12/30 in 230v and a UK plug.
If you’re looking for the single-output IP22 12/30 in 230v and a UK plug, that’s BPC123047022
Editing to add: There actually is no IP22 12/30 that would contain the numbers in “BPC12304400” to begin with, so I suppose in the end that’s the difference - one part number exists, the other doesn’t at all! Here are all the versions of the IP22 12/30 that exist:
Thanks for the input. The original number came from a seller on ebay and the same of the other number but both seem to be doing the same job. It is the 3 output version I want but looking at your list there is no BPC12304400 so I wonder where this guy got the number, I have asked him to verify anyway. Thanks again for your help and input very useful.
If it’s “The Battery Man’s Shop” on eBay in the UK (I think), that seller actually has it listed a little lower on the listing as BPC123044002, which at least has the correct number of digits!
Still doesn’t show up as a valid PN on Victron’s backend, but possible it’s an older PN that isn’t listed there anymore; the PNs can occasionally change for one reason or another and older PNs only display on Victron’s backend for so long before they’re removed for clarity.
Thanks Justin, Alpha -batteries is where I seen it listed on ebay and you are correct as he has come back to me with the correct PN ending in 2 but as you say I cannot find it listed. If it is older stock it shouldn’t be listed as the same price as current stock. Ihave now asked him to tell me the difference btween the 2 PN models lets see what he comes back with.
Even tho I have shown him your list Justin he is adamant that is te number, yet it is not listed as you have shown. According to him only single and triple outlets available! Yes we know that and we know what the current Victron numbers are just not the one he is selling. How do I get Victron to check this number, any ideas?
