xVictron Skylla-IP65 24V 35A Battery Charger (1+1) 120-240V
The Victron Skylla-IP65 24/35 is a high-power, weatherproof battery charger designed for professional and commercial applications where reliability and environmental protection are non-negotiable. Rated IP65, it is suitable for installation in exposed or demanding locations including marine, industrial and off-grid sites. The (1+1) output configuration allows one main output and one dedicated output for a starter battery or auxiliary load.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure provides full protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
- 24V nominal output at 35A continuous charge current, suitable for medium to large battery banks.
- (1+1) dual output: one main battery output plus one independent output for a starter or auxiliary battery.
- Wide input voltage range of 120-240V AC, compatible with both North American and European single-phase supplies.
- Adaptive four-stage charge algorithm (bulk, absorption, float, storage) to maximise battery life and charge efficiency.
- Temperature-compensated charging via optional sensor input, adjusting charge voltage to battery temperature.
- VE.Direct port for monitoring and integration with Victron GX devices and the VictronConnect app.
- Suitable for AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries with configurable charge profiles.
Product Overview
The Skylla-IP65 range is built for installations where a standard indoor charger is not appropriate. The IP65 rating means the unit can be mounted in engine rooms, on deck, in plant rooms or in outdoor enclosures without additional weatherproofing. At 35A on a 24V system, it will charge a 200Ah battery bank from 50% state of charge in approximately three to four hours under normal conditions, making it practical for daily cycling applications.
The (1+1) output topology is particularly useful on vessels and vehicles where a separate starter battery must be maintained independently of the service bank. The auxiliary output delivers a trickle charge to keep the starter battery topped up without risk of overcharging. Both outputs are managed simultaneously by the charger's internal controller.
The wide 120-240V AC input range means the same unit can be used on UK and European 230V supplies or on 120V North American shore power without modification. This makes it a practical choice for vessels that move between different shore power standards. The VE.Direct interface allows integration with Victron's monitoring ecosystem, including the Cerbo GX and Venus GX, for remote state-of-charge visibility and charge status logging.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine electrical engineer. Ensure the AC supply is correctly fused and that the input wiring is rated for the charger's maximum input current. DC output cables must be appropriately sized for 35A continuous current and the cable run length. If connecting to a lithium battery, verify that the charge profile is configured correctly for the specific battery chemistry before commissioning. For VE.Direct integration, a compatible Victron GX device or smartphone running VictronConnect is required separately.
