Key Benefits of the Skylla IP65 24/35 (1+1)

• IP65 protection – resistance to dust, moisture, and corrosion.

• Smart 7-stage adaptive charging algorithm – ensures efficient and safe battery charging.

• Overheating and overload protection – automatic current reduction at high temperatures.

• Parallel synchronization capability – multiple chargers can operate together via CAN-bus.

• LCD display – visual monitoring of charging status and parameter settings.

• Compatibility with Li-Ion (LiFePO4) batteries – support for control via CAN-bus.

• Wide input voltage range (90–265 V AC) – stable operation even with significant voltage fluctuations in the mains.

• Wide temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) – stable operation in extreme conditions.

• Alarm Relay (relay output for signaling) – allows the device to be integrated into automation systems.

Technical Features

• Intelligent Charging Algorithm – automatically adjusts the absorption time depending on the battery discharge level.

• BatterySafe Mode – prevents excessive gas formation and extends battery life.

• Storage Mode – maintains the battery in long-term storage mode, reducing plate corrosion.

• Temperature Compensation – automatically adjusts the voltage according to changes in battery temperature.

• Battery voltage sense – adjusts the voltage to compensate for losses in the wires.

• Power supply mode – ensures a stable output voltage even without a battery.

• Forced Cooling – integrated fan for efficient heat dissipation.

• Overload and short-circuit protection – enhanced operational reliability.

Application scenarios

• Marine transport (yachts, boats) – corrosion protection, ability to draw power from shore power, operates normally in high humidity and salinity.

• Automotive and caravanning systems – support for two batteries, ideal for motorhomes (campers), RVs, and caravans.

• Solar power stations – compatible with Li-Ion batteries, controllable via CAN-bus. Enable ultra-fast recharging of batteries from the grid and generators in off-grid power systems.

• Industrial equipment – a reliable power source for mission-critical systems, including radio and other types of communication.

• Medical mobile stations – stable power even in challenging conditions.

Integration with chartplotters 

The Skylla IP65 24/35 (1+1) 120/240V charger integrates with Navico, Raymarine, Garmin, and Furuno chartplotters via a Victron Energy GX series device (e.g., Cerbo GX). This allows data on battery charge status, energy consumption, and other parameters to be displayed directly on the chartplotter screen.​

Benefits of integration:

• Centralized monitoring: All data regarding the power system is available on a single screen, simplifying monitoring and control.​
• Ease of use: Ability to configure charger settings directly via the chartplotter interface.​
• Enhanced safety: Timely notification of potential malfunctions or deviations in the power system’s operation.​

Communication interfaces

• VE.Bus / CAN-bus (NMEA2000) – for network integration, remote monitoring and control, and connection to the Cerbo GX panel and similar devices.

• RJ45 UTP – for synchronizing parallel operation with other chargers.

• Remote control – ability to turn on/off via a relay input.
