Victron 24V 80A Skylla-i 24/80 (3) 230VAC/45-65Hz Battery Charger
3-Bank Marine Grade Charger with NMEA2000 & Li-Ion Support
Victron 24V 80A Skylla-TG 24/80 (1+1) Uin 230VA...DESCRIPTION
Advanced 24V Power Management for Multi-Bank Systems
The Victron 24V 80A Skylla-i (3) Battery Charger is engineered for heavy-duty marine, industrial, and off-grid applications requiring precise power distribution. Capable of delivering a full 80 amps across three isolated outputs, this advanced charger allows you to simultaneously maintain three separate 24V battery banks without performance compromise. Whether managing service, starting, or auxiliary batteries on a large vessel, the Skylla-i ensures each bank receives the exact charge required for optimal health and longevity.
Rugged Construction for Adverse Environments
Industrial and marine settings demand equipment that can endure extreme conditions. The Skylla-i is housed in an aluminium epoxy powder-coated casing complete with a protective drip shield and marine-grade stainless steel fixings. Internal circuit boards are shielded by a robust acrylic coating, providing maximum corrosion resistance against heat, high humidity, and salt-laden air. Built-in temperature sensors continuously monitor internal thermals, automatically reducing the output current if extreme environmental conditions threaten operation.
Intelligent Battery Protection and Longevity
Lead-acid and lithium batteries require distinct charging profiles to maximise their service life. The Skylla-i addresses this with a variable absorption time mechanism. Following a shallow discharge, absorption time is kept short to prevent overcharging. Conversely, after a deep discharge, the charger automatically extends absorption to ensure complete replenishment.
To further protect your battery bank, the innovative BatterySafe mode mitigates damage caused by excessive gassing. If a rapid charge rate and high absorption voltage are selected, the charger automatically caps the voltage increase rate once the gassing threshold is reached.
When the system is inactive, the built-in Storage mode activates after 24 hours without discharge. It lowers the float voltage to 26.4V (for 24V systems), significantly minimising positive plate corrosion. A weekly automatic voltage boost refreshes the cells, preventing electrolyte stratification and sulphation.
Seamless Network Integration and Parallel Operation
Modern power systems rely on interconnected data. Featuring a CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, the Skylla-i allows for highly synchronised parallel operation. By interconnecting multiple chargers with standard RJ45 UTP cables, you can effortlessly scale your charging capacity to meet growing energy demands. The charger also includes a rotary switch, DIP switches, and potentiometers to manually fine-tune charge algorithms for specific battery chemistries.
Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) Ready
As the transition to lithium energy storage continues, the Skylla-i is fully equipped to support LiFePO4 battery banks. Simple charger control can be managed by linking a relay or open collector optocoupler from a Lithium-Ion BMS to the remote control port. For comprehensive system oversight, full control of voltage and current is achievable via the galvanically isolated CAN bus port.
Key Features
- Three Full-Current Outputs: Charge up to three 24V battery banks simultaneously at the maximum rated current.
- Temperature Compensation: Included sensor dynamically adjusts charge voltage based on battery temperature, crucial for sealed lead-acid setups.
- Battery Voltage Sense: Compensates for voltage drops across cable resistance to ensure precise charging.
- AC and DC Supply Compatibility: Functions flawlessly as an AC-DC charger or DC-DC power supply, accepting diverse input sources.
- Power Supply Mode: Operates as a highly stabilised power supply when batteries or large buffer capacitors are absent.
Enhance Your Marine or Industrial Power System
Equip your vessel, fleet, or remote power station with a charging solution built for uncompromising reliability. Integrate the Victron 24V 80A Skylla-i (3) into your setup to ensure your critical battery banks remain perfectly charged, protected, and ready for deployment.
