Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Skylla IP65 12V 70A Charger (1+1) is a professional sealed charger for demanding applications in marine, special vehicles, and industry. Its protected electronics, epoxy-coated steel housing, and IP65 rating ensure reliability against salt, humidity, and vibrations. It features an LCD screen for adjustment and diagnostics, a 7-stage adaptive algorithm with BatterySafe and Storage modes, voltage probe to compensate for cable drops, battery temperature sensor, and VE.Can (NMEA2000) port for parallel control and synchronization. With a main output of 70 A and a second output limited to ~3 A, it allows you to maintain the service battery and charge the starter battery without extra accessories.
Main Features
- 70 A output + auxiliary ~3 A (1+1) at 12 V; the auxiliary with slightly lower voltage for starter battery.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC, 45–65 Hz, power factor ≈0.98; stable with grid or generator.
- 7-stage algorithm: bulk, absorption (≈14.4 V), float (≈13.8 V), storage (≈13.2 V), and controlled equalizations.
- BatterySafe to limit voltage increase and prevent excessive gassing during fast charging.
- Temperature sensor and voltage probe included for precise charging and longer service life.
- VE.Can (CAN-bus) for Skylla-i Control panel, NMEA2000 integration, and parallel operation.
Advantages or Benefits
- Protects batteries (AGM, GEL, open lead-acid, and LiFePO₄ with BMS) thanks to temperature-compensated voltages.
- Reduces recharge times without overcharging: BatterySafe limits gassing and extends service life.
- The auxiliary output keeps the starter battery always ready without installing relays or distributors.
- Clear local control (LCD) and remote via CAN-bus; possibility to synchronize multiple chargers.
- Sealed IP65 construction and coated electronics to withstand salt mist and harsh environments.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for recreational and charter boats, yachts, intervention vehicles and campers, as well as technical rooms and stationary 12 V energy systems requiring high reliability, precise control, and starter battery maintenance.
