Victron Energy Skylla-i 24V Battery Charger, 230V, 3 Outputs, NMEA 2000

Overview

The Victron Energy Skylla-i Battery Charger 24V (3) is a 24 V mounted battery charger range for boats that need high-output charging across three battery banks. This parent product covers the 80 A and 100 A charge current versions, both built around a 230 V input and the Skylla-i three-output layout.

Each Skylla-i (3) charger has three isolated outputs, with each output able to deliver the full rated charge current. That makes it useful for vessels with separate house, service, and auxiliary battery banks where charging needs to be handled from one fixed charger rather than several separate units.

The charger supports adaptive charging for lead-acid batteries, has BatterySafe and Storage modes, and is LiFePO4 ready when used in a properly configured system. NMEA 2000 Canbus connectivity and PowerControl help it fit into more complete marine power systems, especially where shore power limits and onboard monitoring matter.

Key features

• 24 V battery charger range with 80 A and 100 A charge current options.
• Three isolated outputs for charging up to three battery banks from one mounted charger.
• Each output can supply the full rated output current, rather than using a low-current secondary output.
• 230 V input configuration for vessels and installations using compatible AC supply.
• Adaptive lead-acid charging with variable absorption time, BatterySafe mode, and Storage mode.
• LiFePO4 ready for lithium battery systems that are correctly configured with suitable battery management.
• NMEA 2000 Canbus connection for integration with compatible marine monitoring and control networks.
• PowerControl allows the charger to be set around available shore power capacity.
• Aluminium epoxy powder-coated case with drip shield and stainless steel fixings for engine rooms, utility spaces, and other demanding onboard locations.
• Circuit boards are protected with acrylic coating to help resist corrosion in heat, humidity, and salt air.

Variants

This Victron Energy Skylla-i Battery Charger 24V (3) range is offered in two charge current configurations. Both variants are part of the 24 V Skylla-i (3) 230 V charger family and use the same three-output charging concept.

The main difference between the variants is maximum charge current. The 80 A version suits installations with lower charging demand, while the 100 A version supports larger 24 V battery banks or systems where faster recovery from shore power or generator charging is required.

• SKI024080002: Charge Current 80 A. This version gives 80 A charging capacity for 24 V battery systems and keeps the Skylla-i three-output layout for multiple onboard banks.
• SKI024100002: Charge Current 100 A. This version increases charging capacity to 100 A for larger 24 V systems while keeping the same three-output Skylla-i (3) format.

Installation and setup

This is a mounted charger, so it belongs in a fixed installation with suitable ventilation, cable sizing, overcurrent protection, and access for service. On many boats that means an engine room, machinery space, technical locker, or dedicated electrical compartment where AC input wiring and DC battery cables can be routed cleanly.

Because the charger can work with multiple battery banks, cable runs and voltage drop matter. The voltage sense function helps compensate for cable resistance so the battery receives the intended charge voltage, but the system still needs proper marine wiring practice and secure terminations that can handle vibration.

Compatibility and system integration

The Skylla-i range is a good match for 24 V vessels with more than one battery bank, including cruising boats, workboats, larger center consoles, and yachts with separate house and auxiliary loads. Its NMEA 2000 Canbus connection is useful when the charger needs to be part of a broader onboard power network rather than a stand-alone charger hidden in a locker.

For lithium installations, the charger should be used as part of a complete LiFePO4 system with the correct charge profile and battery management. For lead-acid systems, the adaptive charge behavior helps reduce overcharging during lighter use and supports better battery care during storage periods.

Materials and marine environment

The case construction, drip shield, stainless steel fixings, and coated circuit boards are important details for marine spaces where heat, salt air, and humidity are common. It is still best installed in a protected location away from direct spray and standing water, with enough clearance for airflow and inspection.

This charger is most practical for boat owners or installers who need a permanent 24 V charging setup with network integration, shore power current management, and enough output capacity to support demanding onboard electrical systems.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
