Skylla IP65 24/35(3)

The Victron Energy Skylla IP65 24/35(3) 120/240V charger is a robust and versatile charging solution designed for demanding marine environments. It is optimized for medium to large battery systems.

This charger provides a 24-volt output with a current of 35 amperes, making it suitable for medium to large battery systems.

The IP65 rating indicates that the charger has high resistance to dust and water jets. This design makes it ideal for installations in areas potentially exposed to moisture or marine environments.

Yes, the Skylla IP65 charger features microprocessor control and can be used as a direct power supply, providing additional flexibility.

To optimize battery lifespan, this charger integrates a temperature sensor for temperature-compensated charging and battery voltage detection to correct losses due to cable resistance. It also features microprocessor-controlled charging for precise management of the charging process.

The Skylla IP65 charger uses an IUoUo (three-stage) charge characteristic, ensuring efficient and complete battery charging.

Yes, the Skylla IP65 24/35(3) charger is a three-output model, allowing independent charging of multiple battery banks.

The Skylla IP65 charger includes multiple protections to ensure system safety and durability:

Output short-circuitOvervoltageTemperature too high

The charger operates without any adjustment required over a universal AC input voltage range of 90 to 265 volts, whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

Yes, the charger can also accept a DC power supply within a voltage range of 90 to 400 V DC.

Yes, the charger's remote on/off input can be connected to a Victron Energy VE.Bus BMS (via the 'charge disconnect' output) using a specific Victron Energy cable (ASS030550400).

Yes, the charger can be connected to an NMEA 2000 network. To do so, use a VE.Can to NMEA 2000 accessory cable and remove the fuse. Additional details are available in the Victron Energy NMEA 2000 and MFD integration guide.

The charger is designed to operate with an AC input frequency of 45 to 65 Hz, or with a DC power supply.

It is recommended to find a dry and well-ventilated location to mount the charger and battery. The charger can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted. Vertical mounting improves air circulation inside the charger’s housing and will extend its service life.

The charger's ground point must be connected to a proper earth ground in compliance with applicable safety standards:

On a boat: Connect it to the ground plate or the hull of the vessel.On shore: Connect it to the electrical grid's ground.Mobile applications (vehicle, caravan): Connect it to the vehicle's chassis.The charger's battery connections are fully floating relative to this ground point.

To connect batteries safely, follow this sequence:

Disconnect the mains power.Disconnect the battery cables from the battery.Remove the charger’s front cover.Connect the battery cables to the charger.Connect the battery cables to the battery.Note that the Skylla is NOT protected against battery polarity reversal. Reversed polarity will void the warranty.

No, the Skylla IP65 charger is NOT protected against battery polarity reversal. It is critical to follow the installation procedure carefully and ensure that the positive (+) and negative (-) connections are correct. The warranty will be void if the charger fails due to polarity reversal.

Yes, multiple Skylla IP65 chargers can be synchronized via the CAN interface. This is done by simply interconnecting the chargers with UTP RJ45 cables. Bus terminators are required at the ends of the VE.Can network.

The Skylla IP65 charger has been approved by Germanischer Lloyd (GL) for environmental category C and EMC 1. This certification confirms compliance with strict maritime standards, particularly for equipment installed on a ship's bridge. It also complies with IEC 60945-2002, category 'protected' and 'equipment installed on the bridge of a ship'. The GL approval applies specifically for AC power input of 185-265 V.

Yes, the Victron Energy Skylla IP65 24/35(3) 120/240V charger is specifically designed for demanding marine environments. Its robustness and features make it ideal for onboard use:

IP65 protection: It features IP65 protection, meaning it is highly resistant to dust and water spray, making it perfectly suited for installations in areas potentially exposed to moisture or marine environments.Germanischer Lloyd (GL) approval: This charger is part of the Skylla charger range approved by Germanischer Lloyd (GL) for environmental category C and EMC 1. This certification confirms compliance with strict maritime standards, particularly for equipment installed on a ship's bridge. For applications requiring GL certification, approval applies for an AC supply of 185–265 V.Universal input voltage: It operates with a universal AC input voltage range of 90 to 265 V AC and also accepts a DC supply from 90 to 400 V, ensuring global compatibility and flexible use.Advanced features: Equipped with microprocessor control, it provides precise charge management. It can also be used as a direct power supply. To extend battery life, it includes a temperature sensor for temperature-compensated charging and battery voltage detection to correct losses due to cable resistance.With a 24-volt output and 35-amp current, it is suitable for medium to large battery systems.
