Victron Skylla-IP65

A powerful, waterproof, and intelligent battery charger featuring a seven-stage adaptive charging methodology that is suited for a broad range of battery types and chemistries, as well as a unique lithium-ion charging algorithm.

The charger’s wide-range global input voltage allows for installation freedom; it will keep its full power output anywhere in the world.

This charger is ideal for maritime, mobile, and industrial applications due to its IP65 classification, which allows it to survive tough weather conditions such as heat, humidity, and salty air.

Skylla-IP65 (1+1): two outlets for charging two batteries
There are two separate outputs on the Skylla-IP65 (1+1). The second output, which is restricted to about 3 A and has a somewhat lower output voltage, is intended to fully charge a starting battery.

Skylla-IP65 (3): three full-current outlets for charging three separate battery banks
Skylla-IP65 (3) has three independent outputs. The entire rated output current can be supplied by all outputs.

IP65 security

Steel housing with an epoxy coating that is splash resistant. It can withstand the rigors of the roughest conditions, including heat, humidity, and salt air.
For optimal corrosion resistance, printed circuit boards are covered with an acrylic coating.
Temperature sensors guarantee that electrical components always work within defined limits, automatically lowering output current in harsh climatic circumstances if necessary.

The LCD display

To simply customize the charging algorithm to a specific battery’s status and use conditions.

NMEA2000 CAN bus interface

A Skylla-i Control panel or the Color Control digital display is required for connectivity to a CAN bus network.

Operation that is synchronized in parallel
Using the may bus interface, many chargers may be connected in parallel and synchronized. Simply connect the chargers using RJ45 UTP cables to do this.

Variable absorption time is the optimal charging quantity for a lead-acid battery.
To minimize overcharging the battery, the absorption phase is reduced when the discharge is shallow. After a deep drain, the absorption charging time is automatically extended to guarantee that the battery is fully recharged.

BatterySafe mode protects against harm caused by excessive gassing.
If a fast charging current and high absorption voltage combination is used to quickly charge a battery, the Skylla-IP65 will protect the battery from over-gassing by automatically restricting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage is achieved.

When the battery is not in use, it undergoes less aging and maintenance: storage mode.

When the battery has not been drained for 24 hours, the storage mode is engaged. To avoid gassing and corrosion of the positive plates during storage, the float voltage is decreased to 2.2 V/cell (26.4 V for 24 V batteries). The voltage is raised back up to absorption level once a week to “freshen” the battery. This feature prevents the major causes of battery failure, electrolyte stratification and sulphation.

Temperature control extends battery life.

All Skylla-IP65 chargers contain a battery temperature sensor. When connected, the charging voltage automatically reduces as the battery temperature rises.
This capability is especially suggested for sealed lead-acid batteries and/or when the battery is projected to experience considerable temperature swings.

Sensor for measuring the voltage of a battery

The Skylla-IP65 incorporates a voltage probe function to compensate for voltage losses due to cable resistance, ensuring that the battery always receives the right charging voltage.

Use as a power source

The Skylla-IP65, thanks to its superb control circuitry, may be utilized as a power source with completely stabilized output voltage in situations where batteries or compensating capacitors are not available.

Li-Ion battery ready (LiFePo4)

Simple on/off control may be achieved by connecting a relay or an optocoupler with an open collector output of a Li-Ion BMS to the charger’s remote control connection. Connecting to the CAN-bus port allows for full voltage and current control.
