Our take
With 3 fully rated charge outputs and a nominal 100 A for the house battery, the Skylla-i 24/100(3) can charge three banks from one 24 V unit. The IP21 enclosure rating is the figure to weigh when choosing where to mount it.
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.
