Once the two are linked, the VE.Bus BMS can disable the Skylla-i charger when the batteries are fully charged. For RVers, off-grid adventurers, homeowners with battery backup, and mobile business operators running a Skylla-i alongside a VE.Bus BMS, this Victron remote on\/off cable lets the battery management system step in and say, \"That's enough, thank you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will never be the star of your electrical layout, but it can be one of the most useful little parts in it. This cable is an accessory, not a charger or a battery management system. It does one job: it carries the on\/off control connection between your VE.Bus BMS and your Skylla-i charger. Below, we cover what it does, where it fits, and what to confirm before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVictron Energy Skylla-i Remote On\/Off Cable Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSkylla-i To VE.Bus BMS Connection So You Can Link Charging And Battery Management\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse this cable to connect a Skylla-i to a VE.Bus BMS. That single connection joins the charger and the battery management system, so charging can follow what the BMS is doing instead of depending on you to remember to switch something off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCharger Disable At Full Charge For Hands-Off Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Skylla-i is connected to the VE.Bus BMS with this cable, the BMS disables the Skylla-i charger once the batteries are fully charged.

That can work, but it puts the \"when do I stop charging?\" question on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Skylla-i Remote On\/Off Cable in place, the VE.Bus BMS can disable the charger when the batteries are fully charged. The cable does not replace a Skylla-i charger or a VE.Bus BMS, and it is not a standalone solution. It simply connects the two so they can work together. If you are still choosing components, treat the charger, the BMS, and this cable as parts of one system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs The Skylla-i Remote On\/Off Cable Right For Your System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is a good match for people who already own, or are building around, a Victron Skylla-i and a VE.Bus BMS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may be a good fit if:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a Skylla-i connected to a VE.Bus BMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want the BMS to disable the charger when the batteries are fully charged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour control source sends a high signal for on and a low or free floating signal for off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are adding to a Victron-based RV, off-grid, backup, or mobile power system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few things to confirm before you buy:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour system uses both a Skylla-i charger and a VE.Bus BMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cable is suitable for your exact Skylla-i model and layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe part number you need is ASS030550400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure about wiring or compatibility, consult a qualified installer or the Outbound Power team before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Skylla-i Remote On\/Off Cable do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt connects a Skylla-i to a VE.Bus BMS.
