Connections
Right Angle RJ45

The Skylla-i Control GX is a Victron control in the local and remote monitoring range. This is the retail version with a right-angle RJ45 connector. It lets you adjust the charge current and check the system status. Victron also publishes a Modbus-TCP register list for it. It also carries the code NT-1199 alongside REC000300010R.

Our take

The Skylla-i Control GX does two jobs: it changes the charge current and shows the system status. This version has a right-angle RJ45, so confirm the connector orientation matches where your cable has to come in.

From our buying guide

BCI defines a battery management system as an electronic system that monitors a battery's condition, performance and health. Some lithium batteries have one built in and some need an external unit.

Check before you buy:

  • A voltage reading means little until the battery has rested, and each maker sets its own rest and table.
  • An amp-hour figure needs its rate, since BCI says rated capacity is specified at a particular discharge rate, temperature and cutoff voltage.
