Specifications

Victron Skylla IP65 Battery Charger Range of Battery Chargers

The Skylla-IP65 Battery Charger is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including off-grid and backup power systems, boats, RVs, and vehicles. It is a reliable and durable charger that is capable of delivering efficient and effective charging performance.

The Skylla-IP65 Battery Charger is a versatile and robust device with several features that make it an excellent choice for charging and maintaining lead-acid batteries. The charger comes in two models: the Skylla-IP65 (1+1), which has two isolated outputs, and the Skylla-IP65 (3), which features three full current outputs. Both models have IP65 protection and can withstand harsh environments such as heat, humidity, and salt air. The circuit boards are also protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance.

The charger's LCD display provides status monitoring and allows easy adaptation of the charge algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use. The CAN-bus interface (NMEA2000) allows connection to a CAN-bus network, a Skylla-i Control panel, or a Color Control digital display. Additionally, several chargers can be connected in parallel and synchronized through the CAN-bus interface.

The Victron Skylla-IP65 also includes several features to prevent battery damage and extend battery life. The charger has a variable absorption time, which adjusts to the battery's discharge level to prevent overcharging. T

he BatterySafe mode prevents damage from excessive gassing by limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage is reached.

The Storage mode kicks in after 24 hours of no discharge to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. The charger also has temperature compensation, which decreases the charge voltage with increasing battery temperature, and voltage sense to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance.

Finally, the Skylla-IP65 can be used as a power supply with perfectly stabilized output voltage if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available.

The charger is also Li-Ion (LiFePO4) ready, allowing simple charger on-off control by connecting a relay or open collector opto coupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the remote control port of the charger. Complete control of voltage and current can be achieved by connecting to the CAN-bus port.

Overall, the Victron Skylla-IP65 Battery Charger is an excellent choice for charging and maintaining lead-acid batteries with its versatile features and robust design.

If you're looking for a way to remotely monitor and control your Skylla IP65 battery charger, the Victron Skylla-i Control is the perfect accessory. With LED status indicators, you can keep track of the charging process and the remote panel allows for input current adjustment to limit the power drawn from the AC supply. This feature comes in handy when using limited shore power or small gensets.

Plus, you can connect multiple control panels to one charger or to a set of parallel connected chargers for added convenience. Improve your charging setup with the Victron Skylla-i Control (see below in accesories for the Victron Skylla IP65 battery charger).
