Victron SKYLLA-IP65 Laddare
Skylla-IP65 (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks
The Skylla-IP65 (1+1) features 2 isolated outputs. The second output, limited to approximately 3 A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.
Skylla-IP65 (3): three full current outputs to charge 3 battery banks
The Skylla-IP65 (3) features 3 isolated outputs. All outputs can supply the full rated output current.

IP65 protection
Steel epoxy powder coated 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 needed by automatic reduction of output current under extreme environmental conditions.
LCD display
For status monitoring and to easily adapt the charge algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use.
CAN-bus interface (NMEA2000)
To connect to a CAN-bus network, to a Skylla-i Control panel or to the Color Control digital display.
Synchronised parallel operation
Several chargers can be connected in parallel and synchronised with help of the CAN-bus interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with RJ45 UTP-cables.
The right amount of charge for a lead-acid battery: variable absorption time
Whenonlyshallowdischargesoccurtheabsorptiontimeiskeptshortinordertopreventoverchargingofthebattery. After a deep discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery iscompletelyrecharged.
Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode
If,inordertoquicklychargeabattery,ahighchargecurrentincombinationwithahighabsorptionvoltagehasbeen chosen, the Skylla-IP65 will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate ofvoltageincreaseoncethegassingvoltagehasbeenreached.
Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode
The Storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (26,4 V for 24 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘refresh’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.
To increase battery life: temperature compensation
Every Skylla-IP65 comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed lead-acid batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected.
Battery voltage sense
In order to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, the Skylla-IP65 is provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.
Use as a power supply
As a result of the excellent control circuit, the Skylla-IP65 can be used as a power supply with perfectly stabilized output voltage if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available.
