The Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS is a Victron 24 V battery charger rated at 30 A nominal charge current. It accepts 90 to 265 V AC and comes with a battery temperature sensor. The GMDSS system and the battery both connect directly to the charger. It weighs 6 kg, carries an IP21 rating, and holds float at 26.5 V.
Our take
At IP21 this charger is not built for exposure to spray, so it needs a sheltered mounting spot. Its GMDSS connection lets the battery and the radio system hang off the same charger directly.
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.
