DESCRIPTION

Victron 24V 80A Skylla-i: High-Performance Charging for Harsh Environments

The Victron Skylla-i 24/80 (1+1) is a heavy-duty 24V battery charger engineered for the most demanding marine, industrial, and mobile off-grid applications. Delivering a powerful 80A charge with highly advanced battery management features, this unit ensures your energy storage systems remain fully optimised, safe, and ready for deployment.

Dual Output Design for Complete Battery Management

The (1+1) configuration is specifically designed to simplify complex power systems. It features two isolated outputs: a primary connection capable of supplying the full 80A rated current to your main battery bank, and a secondary output limited to approximately 4A. This secondary connection operates at a slightly lower voltage and is perfectly calibrated for topping up a dedicated starter battery, eliminating the need for an additional battery charger in boats, yachts, or large commercial vehicles.

Rugged Construction for Extreme Conditions

When operating in adverse environments, hardware reliability is critical. The Skylla-i is housed in a robust aluminium epoxy powder-coated case, complete with a drip shield and stainless steel fixings to resist heat, high humidity, and corrosive salt air. Internally, the circuit boards are protected by a high-quality acrylic coating to provide maximum corrosion resistance. The charger also incorporates advanced temperature sensors that continuously monitor power components, automatically reducing output current if environmental temperatures exceed safe operational limits.

Intelligent Charging and Lithium Compatibility

Equipped with an adaptive variable absorption time, the Skylla-i precisely tailors its charging cycle to the battery's depth of discharge. Shallow discharges trigger a shorter absorption phase to prevent overcharging, while deep discharges automatically extend the cycle for a complete recharge.

For rapid charging setups, the integrated BatterySafe mode actively prevents damage from excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing threshold is reached. When the battery is not in use for 24 hours, Storage mode activates, dropping the float voltage to 26.4V to minimise positive plate corrosion and reduce electrolyte stratification.

The system is fully Li-Ion (LiFePO4) ready. Simple on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open-collector optocoupler from a lithium Battery Management System (BMS) directly to the remote control port.

Flexible Networking and NMEA2000 Integration

Modern power grids require smart communication. The Skylla-i features a built-in CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, enabling the seamless synchronisation of multiple chargers in parallel. By simply interconnecting the units with RJ45 UTP cables, you can easily scale your charging capacity. Additionally, a combination of a rotary switch, DIP switches, and potentiometers allows technical users to precisely adapt the charge algorithm to specific battery chemistry requirements.

Key Features

  • Dual isolated outputs: Main battery bank (80A) and starter battery (4A)
  • Marine-grade construction: Aluminium enclosure with epoxy powder coating and acrylic-sealed circuit boards
  • CAN bus (NMEA2000) connectivity: Enables parallel operation and system monitoring
  • Advanced adaptive charging: Includes BatterySafe and Storage modes to extend battery lifespan
  • Intelligent monitoring: Integrated temperature and voltage sense to compensate for heat and cable resistance
  • Versatile operation: Accepts both AC (230VAC) and DC power sources
  • Power supply mode: Capable of operating as a perfectly stabilised direct power supply without batteries connected

Reliable Power for Any Application

Whether you are upgrading a commercial vessel, outfitting a heavy-duty RV, or designing an industrial off-grid power station, this charger delivers professional-grade reliability. Order the Victron Skylla-i 24/80 today to ensure optimal performance and uncompromising longevity for your 24V battery systems.
