Perfect chargers for any type of battery Charge voltage can be precisely adjusted to suit any sealed or unsealed battery system. In particular, sealed maintenance free batteries must be charged correctly in order to ensure a long service life. Overvoltage will result in excessive gassing and venting of a sealed battery. The battery will dry out and fail

Controlled charging Every TG Charger has a microprocessor, which accurately controls the charging in three steps. The charging process takes place in accordance with the IUoUo characteristic and charges more rapidly than other processes.

Use of TG Chargers as a power supply As a result of the perfectly stabilized output voltage, a TG Charger can be used as a power supply if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available.

• Microprocessor controlled three stage charging
• Models accept DC as well as AC input
• Can be used as a DC power supply
• 24V models feature additional 12V 4A isolated output to top up a starter battery
• Voltage & temperature sensors included for accurate charging
• 5 years warranty

The Victron Skylla-i Control allows you to alter the charge current and see the system status of Victron Skylla battery chargers.

• Panel mount - can be surface mounted with optional wall mount enclosure

Phoenix Smart (3) adaptive 5-step chargers can provide charge to each of three battery banks or Phoenix (1+1) models have two outputs to provide 3A to the starter-battery, the rest to the ‘house’ bank. Bluetooth enabled to allow the charger to be monitored and alarms set straight from your phone.

Features

• Bluetooth Smart enabled. Any Bluetooth enabled smart phone, tablet or other device can be used to monitor, to change settings and to update the charger when new software features become available.
• Phoenix Smart (3): three full current outputs to charge 3 battery banks Each output can supply the full rated output current. But the total of the 3 outputs combined can never exceed the current rating of the charger.
• Phoenix Smart (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks. The second output, limited to approximately 3A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.
• Automatic voltage compensation. The charger compensates for voltage drop over the DC cabling by slightly increasing output voltage when the DC current increases. Please see the manual for details.
• Adaptive 5-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – recondition – float – storage. The Phoenix Smart Charger features ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the charge process relative to the way the battery is being used.
• The right amount of charge: variable absorption time. When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) 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 will be fully charged.
• Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO4) batteries. Charger on-off control can be implemented by connecting a relay or open collector optocoupler output from a Li-ion BMS to the remote on-off port. Alternatively full control of voltage and current can be achieved with Bluetooth.
• Fully programmable charge algorithm. The charge algorithm can be programmed with help of Bluetooth or the VE.Direct interface. Three preprogrammed algorithms can be selected with the mode button (see specifications).
• Remote on-off. The remote on/off consists of two terminals: Remote H and Remote L. A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected between H and L. Alternatively, terminal H can be pulled high, or terminal L can be pulled low.
• VE.Direct interface. For a wired data connection to a Colour Control panel, PC or other devices using the VictronConnect app.
• Programmable relay. Can be programmed using the VE.Direct interface or a Bluetooth enabled device to trip on an alarm or other events.

• AC Power Cord must be ordered separately.

A powerful, waterproof and intelligent battery charger with a 7-stage adaptive charge algorithm, suitable for a wide range of battery types and chemistries featuring a dedicated Lithium-ion charge algorithm.

The wide range universal input voltage adds flexibility to the installation, the charger will maintain its full output power no matter where it is located in the world.

The IP65 rating makes this charger especially suitable for marine, mobile, and industrial applications and it can withstand the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity and salt air.

Features

Skylla-IP65 (1+1): two outputs to charge 2 battery banks
The Skylla-IP65 (1+1) features 2 isolated outputs. The second output, limited to approximately 3 A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery

IP65 protection
Steel epoxy powder coated case. Withstands 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.

LCD display
For status monitoring and to easily adapt the charge algorithm to a particular battery and its conditions of use.

CAN-bus interface (NMEA2000)
To connect to a CAN-bus network, to a Skylla-i Control panel or to the Color Control digital display.

Synchronised parallel operation
Several chargers can be connected in parallel and synchronised with help of the CAN-bus interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with RJ45 UTP-cables.

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-IP65 will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode
The Storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (26,4 V for 24 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘refresh’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

To increase battery life: temperature compensation
Every Skylla-IP65 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-IP65 is provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.

Use as a power supply
As a result of the excellent control circuit, the Skylla-IP65 can be used as a power supply with perfectly stabilized output voltage 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 opto coupler 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 CAN-bus port.
