This is the Victron Skylla-IP65 12/70(3) charger for 12 V batteries, with a nominal 70 A charge current and three fully rated outputs. It runs an adaptive 7-stage charge algorithm and includes a battery temperature sensor. The enclosure is rated IP65 and weighs 6 kg. Victron recommends a battery capacity of 350 to 700 Ah for it.
Our take
The 70 A nominal output with a recommended 350 to 700 Ah battery range tells you the size of bank this charger is meant to feed. Its IP65 rating is the figure that decides whether it can go somewhere damp, and Victron names marine use for that rating.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
- It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
