24V 50A GMDSS Battery Charger - Skylla TG- Victron Energy

The Victron Skylla-TG 24/50 GMDSS charger is specially designed to provide all the monitoring and alarm data required for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), developed by the International Maritime Organization to improve distress and safety communications at sea.

Input voltages

This charger is suitable for a wide range of input voltages in both AC (185-264V AC 45-65Hz) and DC (180-400V DC)

Reliable power supply

The Skylla TG can be used as a power supply 

Simplified installation

This charger offers all the necessary monitoring and alarm data. Battery and GMDSS systems are connected directly to the charger. Data and alarms are displayed on a digital panel (VE.Net GMDSS panel, to be ordered separately). A standard eight-wire UTP cable connects the charger to the panel. The system is pre-programmed for GMDSS, but simple adjustments can be made if necessary.

Lead batteries

This charger is suitable for any type of 24V lead battery with a total capacity between 500Ah and 1000Ah, and the charging voltage can be precisely adjusted according to the battery system used.

Adaptive charging

The Skylla TG features a 3-stage controlled charging function for faster and more accurate charging. Furthermore, these chargers can be used as a direct power supply if batteries or large buffer capacitors are not available.

2 independent outputs

The Skylla TG 24V models have two isolated outputs. The main output delivers 50A, the second auxiliary output is intended for recharging a starter battery and offers a slightly lower voltage with a current of 4A.

Thermal adjustment

Each Skylla TG charger is equipped with a battery temperature sensor that automatically adjusts the charging voltage according to the battery temperature, increasing its lifespan.

Loss compensation

This charger is equipped with voltage sensing to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, ensuring the battery always receives the correct charging voltage.

State of charge indication

The Skylla GMDSS charger has a built-in battery controller that monitors battery capacity and can indicate the "time remaining" in the event of a power failure.

In summary, Victron's Skylla-TG GMDSS chargers are reliable and suitable solutions for GMDSS applications, with advanced monitoring and control features to ensure the safety and performance of battery systems in demanding marine environments.
