Victron Energy Skylla-i Charger 24 VDC 100AMP 2-Bank 230 VAC

Skylla-i Charger - 24 VDC - 100AMP - 2-Bank - 230 VAC

Features:

• Skylla-i (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks The Skylla-i (1+1) features 2 isolated outputs. The second output, limited to approximately 4 A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.


• Rugged Aluminium epoxy powder coated cases with drip shield and stainless steel fixings withstand the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity and salt air. Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors ensure that power components will always operate within specified limits, if needed by automatic reduction of output current under extreme environmental conditions.


• Flexible Next to a CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, a rotary switch, DIP switches and potentiometers are available to adapt the charge algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use. Please refer to the manual for a complete overview of the possibilities.


• Synchronized parallel operation Several chargers can be synchronised with the CAN bus interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with RJ45 UTP-cables. Please see the manual for details.


• The right amount of charge for a lead-acid battery: variable absorption time When only shallow discharges occur the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.


• Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Skylla-i will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.


• To increase battery life: temperature compensation Every Skylla-i comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed lead-acid batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected.


• Battery voltage sense In order to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, the Skylla-i is provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.


• Suitable for AC and DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation) The chargers also accept a DC supply.


• Use as a power supply As a result of the perfectly stabilized output voltage, the Skylla-i can be used as a power supply if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available.


• Li-Ion (LiFePO4) ready Simple charger on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-Ion BMS to the remote control port of the charger. Alternatively complete control of voltage and current can be achieved by connecting to the galvanically isolated CAN bus port

The Victron Energy Skylla-i Charger (Part Number: SKI024100000) is a versatile and robust charging solution designed for demanding environments. This 24 VDC, 100AMP charger features dual outputs, enabling it to effectively charge two separate battery banks simultaneously. The first output provides a high current charge, while the second, limited to approximately 4 A and slightly lower voltage, is optimized for topping up a starter battery, ensuring reliable engine starting power. Its rugged aluminum epoxy powder-coated case with drip shield and stainless steel fixings guarantees durability against heat, humidity, and salt air, making it suitable for marine, industrial, or off-grid applications.

Equipped with advanced features, the Skylla-i offers flexibility through a CAN bus (NMEA2000) interface, allowing synchronization of multiple chargers for balanced charging in complex systems. The onboard rotary switch, DIP switches, and potentiometers enable precise adaptation of the charge algorithm to match specific battery types and conditions, with comprehensive control detailed in the user manual. The charger intelligently adjusts absorption times based on discharge levels, preventing overcharging during shallow discharges and ensuring full recharge after deep discharges. It also incorporates a BatterySafe mode to limit voltage increase and gassing, protecting sensitive batteries from damage during rapid charging.

Temperature compensation is integrated via a battery temperature sensor, automatically reducing charge voltage as temperature rises to extend battery life, particularly beneficial for sealed lead-acid or temperature-sensitive batteries. The voltage sense feature compensates for cable resistance, ensuring accurate charging voltage delivery regardless of installation length. Suitable for both AC and DC supplies, the Skylla-i can operate on AC-DC and DC-DC sources, and can double as a power supply in the absence of batteries or large capacitors due to its stable output voltage. Additionally, it is compatible with Li-Ion (LiFePO4) batteries, allowing simple remote control or full voltage and current management through the CAN bus or relay connections, making it adaptable to various battery chemistries and system configurations.

Designed with durability and versatility in mind, the Victron Skylla-i Charger is ideal for demanding applications that require reliable, efficient, and customizable battery management. Its corrosion-resistant construction, intelligent charging algorithms, and multi-input compatibility make it a preferred choice for professionals seeking a high-performance charger that can be tailored to specific operational needs.
