Its IP65-rated enclosure makes it suitable for installation in wet or dusty environments where a standard charger would not survive. The (1+1) output configuration provides one main output and one dedicated starter battery output, allowing simultaneous charging of separate battery banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V, 70A output with a dedicated second output for starter battery charging via the (1+1) configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65-rated enclosure provides full protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide AC input range of 120 to 240V accommodates both European and North American shore power supplies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive 4-stage battery charging algorithm (bulk, absorption, float, storage) extends battery service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including flooded, gel, AGM and lithium-ion (with correct settings).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in battery temperature sensor input allows charge voltage compensation to protect batteries in variable ambient conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port enables monitoring and configuration via Victron's GX devices and VictronConnect app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminium housing with a compact form factor and a weight of 6.5 kg for straightforward panel or bulkhead mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Skylla-IP65 range is built for environments where moisture, vibration and variable power supplies are routine. The IP65 rating is a meaningful specification here: it allows the charger to be mounted in engine rooms, on deck, in vehicle bays or in outdoor enclosures without requiring an additional weatherproof housing. The 120-240V AC input means the same unit works on UK and EU shore power as well as North American 120V supplies, which is particularly useful on vessels that travel internationally or vehicles used across different regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe (1+1) output topology is a practical feature for any installation with separate service and starter battery banks. The main 70A output handles the primary service bank, while the second output maintains the starter battery independently. This removes the need for a separate battery-to-battery charger or a manual switching arrangement. Charge parameters for each output can be configured independently, which matters when the two banks use different battery chemistries or capacities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct connectivity integrates the Skylla-IP65 into a wider Victron system. When connected to a Cerbo GX or similar device, charge status, voltage and current data are visible on the GX display or via the VRM portal. Configuration is handled through VictronConnect, which allows adjustment of charge algorithms, voltage thresholds and battery type settings without opening the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKY012070000\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Current (Main)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e70A\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1+1 (main + starter battery output)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Input Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e120-240V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e6.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076051961\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine vessels requiring simultaneous charging of service and starter battery banks from shore power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicles, coaches and motorhomes with separate leisure and engine battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial equipment and off-grid installations in outdoor or semi-exposed locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems where the charger must operate reliably in a non-climate-controlled environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallations requiring compatibility with both 120V and 240V AC supplies across different regions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Skylla-IP65 12\/70 (1+1) battery charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with DC battery systems and AC mains wiring. Ensure the AC supply is correctly fused and that DC output cabling is rated for the full 70A output current. The IP65 rating requires all cable entry points to be properly sealed using appropriate glands to maintain the enclosure's ingress protection. For marine installations, follow the relevant standards for electrical installation on vessels. VE.Direct configuration via VictronConnect is recommended before commissioning to confirm battery type and charge voltage settings are appropriate for the connected battery bank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60201805185358,"sku":"SKY012070000","price":559.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SKY012070000_-_Skylla-IP65_12-70_1_1_120-240V.webp?v=1784819157","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-skylla-ip65-12-70-battery-charger","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
