Its IP65-rated enclosure copes with wet or dusty locations that would put a standard charger out of action, making it a practical marine battery charger for boats, coaches and off-grid systems. The (1+1) output configuration gives one main output plus a dedicated starter battery output, so two separate battery banks can be charged at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this marine battery charger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12V, 70A main output with a second output for starter battery charging via the (1+1) configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e, protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAC input\u003c\/strong\u003e, wide 120-240V range, covering European, UK and North American shore power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging algorithm\u003c\/strong\u003e, adaptive 4-stage bulk, absorption, float, storage profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e, works with flooded, gel, AGM and lithium-ion batteries with correct settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct port for use with Victron GX devices and the VictronConnect app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for demanding installations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Skylla-IP65 range suits environments where moisture, vibration and variable shore power are routine. The IP65 rating lets it be mounted in engine rooms, on deck, in vehicle bays or in outdoor enclosures without a separate weatherproof housing. Because the AC input spans 120-240V, the same unit runs on UK, EU and North American supplies, which helps on vessels or vehicles that cross regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe (1+1) output topology suits any setup with separate service and starter battery banks. The 70A main output covers the service bank while the second output maintains the starter battery independently, removing the need for a separate battery-to-battery charger. Each output's charge parameters can be set independently, useful where the two banks differ in chemistry or capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA built-in battery temperature sensor input allows charge voltage compensation across changing ambient conditions. VE.Direct connectivity links the charger into a wider Victron system: connected to a Cerbo GX or similar device, charge status, voltage and current show on the GX display or via the VRM portal. VictronConnect handles configuration of charge algorithms, voltage thresholds and battery type without opening the unit. The housing is aluminium, weighs 6.5 kg and has a compact form factor for panel or bulkhead mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine vessels needing simultaneous charging of service and starter battery banks from shore power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicles, coaches and motorhomes with separate leisure and engine battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial equipment and off-grid installations in outdoor or semi-exposed locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackup power systems operating in non-climate-controlled environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations requiring compatibility with both 120V and 240V AC supplies across different regions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVictron Skylla-IP65 12\/70 (1+1) battery charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with DC battery systems and AC mains wiring. The AC supply must be correctly fused and DC output cabling rated for the full 70A output. The IP65 rating relies on all cable entry points being properly sealed with suitable glands to maintain ingress protection. Marine installations should follow the relevant standards for electrical installation on vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095574704416,"sku":"SKY012070000","price":548.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-sky012070000-1.webp?v=1785754090","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/marine-battery-charger-skylla-ip65-12-70","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
