Victron Energy | Skylla-TG Series
Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS Battery Charger
24V 30A | GMDSS Compliant | Universal 120-240V AC Input
The Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS is a robust 24V 30A battery charger and power supply specifically engineered for Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) applications. This unit integrates essential monitoring and alarm data capabilities, making it a reliable choice for maritime safety systems.
Designed for straightforward installation, the Skylla-TG GMDSS connects directly to both the battery and the GMDSS system. It provides comprehensive battery monitoring, including a 'time to go' function in the event of a power outage, with data and alarms displayed on a separate VE.Net GMDSS panel (to be ordered separately).
GMDSS Ready: Provides integrated monitoring and alarm data crucial for maritime distress and safety communications.
Key Features
| ▶ GMDSS Integrated Monitoring — Delivers all required monitoring and alarm data for Global Maritime Distress and Safety Systems. |
| ▶ Universal AC Input — Operates reliably with a wide input voltage range of 90-265V AC, suitable for various global power grids. |
| ▶ Battery Time-to-Go Function — Built-in battery controller monitors capacity to indicate estimated remaining time during a power blackout (requires VE.Net GMDSS panel). |
| ▶ Adjustable Charge Voltage — Precisely tune the charge voltage to perfectly suit VRLA or flooded battery systems, optimising battery life. |
| ▶ Dual Outputs — Features one full-rated output and an additional 4A output for maintenance charging of a second battery bank. |
| ▶ Power Supply Capability — Can function as a stable DC power supply independently, thanks to its very stable output voltage. |

Built-In Protection Functions
The Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS charger incorporates several safety features to ensure reliable operation and protect connected systems. These include protection against short circuits and overloading. It also features low ripple current to minimise interference with sensitive communication equipment.
Common Questions
What does GMDSS compliance mean for this charger?
GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) compliance means the charger is designed to meet international maritime regulations for distress and safety communications. It provides integrated monitoring and alarm data essential for maintaining GMDSS battery banks.
What type of batteries can this charger work with?
The Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS is compatible with various 24V battery types, including VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) and flooded lead-acid batteries. Its charge voltage can be precisely adjusted to suit specific battery requirements.
Is the VE.Net GMDSS panel included with the charger?
No, the VE.Net GMDSS digital panel, which displays data and alarms, is an essential component for full GMDSS functionality but must be ordered separately.
Can this unit be used as a standalone power supply?
Yes, thanks to its very stable output voltage, the Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS can effectively function as a standalone DC power supply in addition to its battery charging capabilities.
Installation Notes
- Professional Installation: Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional in accordance with local regulations and manufacturer guidelines.
- Ventilation: Ensure the charger is mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent overheating and prolong its lifespan. Wall mounting can improve air circulation.
- Cable Sizing: Use short and thick battery cables to minimise voltage losses and ensure efficient charging. Tighten all battery connections securely.
- Battery Polarity: The Skylla-TG is NOT protected against reverse battery polarity. Incorrect connection will cause damage and void the warranty. Always disconnect the mains supply before making or breaking battery connections.
- Grounding: Connect the earth screw to a proper earth-point for safety.
Before You Buy
- System Voltage: Confirm your battery bank is a 24V system to ensure compatibility with this charger.
- GMDSS Panel: Remember that the VE.Net GMDSS panel is required for displaying monitoring and alarm data and is sold separately.
- Power Requirements: Verify the charger's 30A output capacity meets your system's charging needs.
- Installation Environment: Consider the marine-grade construction and ensure the chosen installation location is suitable for its specifications.
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your specific system requirements before purchase. Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
