Charger Victron Skylla IP65 24/35 (3) 120-240V - SKY02404035100

Skylla-IP65 (1+1): two outputs for charging 2 battery banks

The Skylla-IP65 (1+1) has 2 isolated outputs. The second output, limited to approximately 3 A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended for recharging a starter battery.

Skylla-IP65 (3): three full-current outputs for charging 3 battery banks

The Skylla-IP65 (3) has 3 isolated outputs. All outputs can supply the full rated output current.

IP65 protection

Epoxy powder coated steel case. Withstands the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity and salt air. Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors ensure that power components will always operate within specified limits, if necessary by automatic reduction of output current in extreme environmental conditions.

LCD display

To monitor the status and easily adapt the charging algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use.

CAN bus interface (NMEA2000)

To connect to a CAN-bus network, a Skylla-i control panel or the Color Control digital display.

Synchronized parallel operation

Several chargers can be connected in parallel and synchronized with the help of the CAN-bus interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with cables. UTP RJ45.

The right amount of charge for a lead-acid battery: variable absorption time.

When only shallow discharges occur, the absorption time is kept short to avoid overcharging the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to ensure that the battery is fully recharged.

Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: BatterySafe mode

If a high charging current in combination with a high absorption voltage is needed to quickly charge a battery.

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: Storage mode

The storage mode is activated as long as the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. In storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (26.4 V for 24 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is brought back up to the absorption level to "refresh" the battery. This feature prevents electrolyte stratification and sulfation, a major cause of premature battery failure.

To increase the battery life: temperature compensation

Each Skylla-IP65 comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, the charging voltage automatically decreases as the battery temperature increases. This function is especially recommended for sealed lead-acid batteries and/or when significant fluctuations in battery temperature are expected.

Battery voltage sense

To compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, the Skylla-IP65 has a voltage sensor so that the battery always receives the correct charging voltage.

Use as a power supply

As a result of the excellent control circuitry, the Skylla-IP65 can be used as a power supply with perfectly stabilized output voltage if no batteries or large backup capacitors are available.

Ready for lithium ion (LiFePO4)

Simple on/off control of the charger can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the charger's remote control port. Alternatively full voltage and current control can be achieved by connecting to the CAN-bus port.
