Meet the Victron Skylla-i Battery Charger 24/100 (3) 230V—a rugged, three-output charger delivering reliable, fully shared charge for multiple lead-acid batteries in harsh environments. It’s built for demanding marine, RV, and industrial applications where consistent battery health matters.
-
Three isolated outputs: All outputs can deliver the full rated output current, enabling simultaneous charging without interference.
-
Rugged construction: Aluminium epoxy powder-coated cases with a drip shield and stainless steel fixings resist heat, humidity, and salt air.
-
Corrosion-resistant electronics: Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance.
-
Active temperature management: Built-in temperature sensors help keep power components within safe limits by automatically reducing output current when needed.
-
Flexible charging control: CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, plus a rotary switch, DIP switches, and potentiometers to tailor the charge algorithm (refer to the manual for full configurability).
-
Sync-enabled operation: Several Skylla-i units can be synchronized via CAN bus by interconnecting them with RJ45 cables (note: two-output and three-output chargers cannot be paralleled with each other).
-
Smart charging for lead-acid: Variable absorption time adapts to discharge depth to avoid overcharging after shallow discharges and ensure a full recharge after deep discharges.
-
BatterySafe mode: Prevents damage from excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage is reached.
-
Storage mode: If the battery remains undischarged for 24 hours, float voltage is reduced to 2.2V per cell (26.4V for 24V batteries) to minimize gassing and corrosion; once a week, voltage is raised back to absorption level to refresh the battery and prevent sulfation.
-
Temperature compensation: A built-in battery temperature sensor ensures charge voltage decreases with rising temperature, extending life for sealed lead-acid batteries and when temperature varies.
-
Battery voltage sense: Voltage sensing compensates for cable resistance so the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.
-
AC and DC operation: Suitable for AC-DC and DC-DC input; accepts DC supply and can be used as a power supply.
-
Designed for harsh environments: Specifically built for demanding marine, RV, and industrial applications.
-
Independent high-current charging: The Skylla-i 3-output charger provides independent, high-current charging for multiple battery banks, ensuring each bank receives full output without interference.
-
Flexible control and configurability: Control via CAN bus, switches, and presets lets you tailor charging to your battery chemistry and operating conditions.
This charger supports scalable, multi-bank setups with synchronized operation, while BatterySafe and Storage modes help minimize gassing and sulfation risks between uses. Its rugged build and temperature-aware regulation help maximize battery life in harsh marine, RV, and industrial environments.
