Victron Skylla-IP65 12/70 (1+1) Battery Charger

Built for the marine and mobile environment, the Skylla-IP65 12/70 (1+1) is housed in a steel epoxy powder coated case rated to IP65, sealing the electronics against dust, humidity and salt-laden air while standing up to the heat and vibration of life on board. An integrated LCD display shows charging status and lets you adapt the charge algorithm, and the temperature-protected output keeps the charger working reliably as ambient conditions change. This version provides a 70 A main output for the service battery bank together with an additional output of around 3 A to keep a separate engine-start battery topped up.\n\nCharging is handled by a 7 stage adaptive algorithm for lead-acid batteries, with BatterySafe and Storage modes that protect the bank and keep it healthy during long periods of inactivity. The supplied battery temperature sensor and battery voltage sense ensure precise, fully compensated charging right at the terminals. A dedicated 3 stage algorithm makes the unit Li-Ion ready, its remote on/off can be wired to a lithium BMS, and the stable, regulated output also allows the charger to be used as a DC power supply.\n\nFor system integration the Skylla-IP65 features VE.Can with two RJ45 connectors using the NMEA2000 protocol, enabling synchronised parallel operation and connection to a Skylla Control panel for centralised monitoring and configuration. A wide 90 to 265 VAC input lets the charger run from shore power or generators on both 120 V and 230 V supplies, while the programmable alarm relay provides flexible signalling within the wider installation.
