Meet the Victron Skylla-TG Charger - 24/30 GMDSS, a purpose-built power solution for life-critical maritime systems. It connects directly to both the battery and the GMDSS, delivering real-time monitoring and alarms on the VE.Net GMDSS panel (panel sold separately).
-
GMDSS integration: Direct connections to the battery and GMDSS with alarms displayed on the optional VE.Net GMDSS panel; eight-wire UTP data link ensures seamless communication.
-
Pre-programmed for GMDSS: Ready out of the box with GMDSS functionality; a simple menu lets you tweak settings if needed.
-
Time-to-go display: Built-in battery controller monitors capacity and projects how long you can operate during an outage.
-
Adaptive battery charging: Precise charging for VRLA or flooded batteries with adjustable charge voltage (Absorption 28.5 V DC, Float 26.5 V DC).
-
Charge current: 30 A charging capability (limited to 22 A at 110 V AC).
-
Charging profile: IUoUo three-step charging to maximize battery health and longevity.
-
Versatile power supply: Can be used as a stand-alone power supply; forced cooling ensures reliability under load.

The Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS delivers reliable power for life-critical systems by feeding both battery data and GMDSS status to a single charger with optional VE.Net monitoring. Its pre-programmed GMDSS setup minimizes on-site configuration, while the time-to-go display supports proactive planning during outages. With IUoUo charging and adjustable voltage, it accommodates VRLA and flooded batteries to extend battery life. Built to endure harsh conditions with forced cooling and a robust aluminium enclosure, this charger provides durable performance for vessels and shore installations alike. And when you need flexibility, it can function as a stand-alone power supply, making it a versatile solution for diverse maritime power needs.
