1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Victron energy
Victron Energy has established an international reputation as a leading designer and
manufacturer of power systems. Our R&D department is the driving force behind this
reputation. This department is continually seeking new ways of incorporating the latest
technology in our products.
A Victron Energy power system can supply high-quality energy at places where there is no
permanent mains power source available.
An automatic stand alone operating energy supply system can consist of: a Victron Energy
inverter, a Victron Energy battery charger, if required a Victron Energy Mains Manager and
batteries with sufficient capacity.
Our equipment can be used in numerous situations, in the field, on ships and in other places
where mobile power is indispensable.
Victron Energy equipment can be used for all kinds of electrical appliances for household,
technical and administrative purposes and instruments susceptible to interference.
1.2 The Titan Generation charger
This manual contains directions for installing the following types of battery chargers: the
Pallas-TG 12/50, the Skylla-TG 24/30 including the 24/30 110V, the Skylla-TG 24/50, the
Skylla-TG 24/50 3-Phase and the Titan 48/25. It describes the functionality and operation
including their protective devices and other technical features.
1.3 Warnings
The cover of the battery charger may only be removed by a qualified
technician. Before obtaining access to the battery charger the mains
supply circuit must be disconnected.
Explosive gasses can occur during charging a lead-acid
battery. Prevent flames and sparks.
Provide adequate ventilation during charging.
The battery charger can not be used to charge non-rechargeable
batteries.

6Manual Titan
The battery charger is NOT protected against reverse battery polarity.
("+" connected to "-" and "-" connected to "+").
Follow the installation procedure. The warranty expires when the
battery charger becomes defective due to reverse battery polarity.
There is a dangerous voltage present on some of the metal parts
inside the battery charger.
The on/off switch at the front of the cabinet does not switch off the
mains supply.
Disconnect the mains supply before making or breaking the
connections to the battery.
Do not use the voltage-sense facility in combination with the diode-
splitter compensation. This will raise the output voltage, which
could damage the battery.

2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 The Titan battery charger
The Titan battery charger is a fully automatic charger for 12V, 24V or 48V batteries and is
powered by a mains voltage of 230Vac, 50Hz or 110Vac, 50 Hz for the Skylla-Tg 24/30
110V. It charges the battery according to the IUoUo characteristic, which is a 3-stage
charging characteristic. This characteristic is shown in illustration 1. While charging, the
Titan continuously measures the battery voltage and current and bases the charging voltage
and current on the measured values.
Type Boost voltage Float voltage Minimal
voltage
12V / 50A 14,25 Vdc 13,25 Vdc 12,5 Vdc
24V / 30A 28,5 Vdc 26,5 Vdc 25 Vdc
24V / 30A 110V 28,5 Vdc 26,5 Vdc 25 Vdc
24V / 50A 28,5 Vdc 26,5 Vdc 25 Vdc
24V / 50A 3-Ph 28,5 Vdc 26,5 Vdc 25 Vdc
48V / 25A 57 Vdc 53 Vdc 50 Vdc
Assuming that the battery is discharged, the Titan charger starts charging in the boost-charge
mode. In this mode the battery is charged until the battery voltage reaches the boost voltage.
At this point the battery is charged to approximately 80% of its maximum capacity. This is the
end of the boost-charge mode and the Titan charger automatically switches to the equalize-
charge mode.
During the equalize-charge mode the charging voltage stays the same as the boost voltage but
the charge current slowly decreases. The duration of this mode is pre-selectable to 4, 8 or 12
hours. The standard time of the equalize-mode is 4 hours. After this time the Titan charger
automatically switches into the float-charge mode.
In the float-charge mode the charge voltage changes into the float voltage and the charge
current continues to decrease. This mode lasts for 20 hours.
After the float-charge mode the charger returns to the equalize-charge mode for 30 minutes,
this is to compensate for the normal leakage or self discharge of the battery.

8Manual Titan
The Titan charger can remain connected to the battery continuously, without gas formation
taking place, caused by overcharging. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery from the
charger during long time storage, for example during the winter storage of a ship. The Titan
charger will keep your battery in optimum condition under all circumstances and will prolong
the lifetime of your battery.
A parallel load connected to the battery can cause a voltage drop. The Titan charger
automatically switches into the boost-charge mode when the battery voltage drops below the
minimal voltage.
The Titan charger is equipped with a separate starter-battery connection to charge an extra
battery, like a starter-battery. You can use this battery for starting machines, like a boat engine
for this application.
The Titan charger has a stabilised output voltage. Therefore the Titan charger can also be used
as a DC power supply in applications where no battery is present.
2.2 The battery
The Titan charger can charge various batteries. The recommended battery capacity is
indicated in the table below:
Type Recommended capacity
12/50 200 - 400 Ah
24/30 100 - 200 Ah
24/30 110V 100 - 200 Ah
24/50 200 - 400 Ah
24/50 3-Ph 200 - 400 Ah
48/25 100 - 200 Ah
The charge voltages of the Titan charger are factory set. Most battery manufactures
recommend these charging voltages for optimal charging of 12V, 24V or 48V lead-acid
batteries.
It is possible to charge different types of batteries, like traction batteries. To charge these
batteries the charging voltages of the charger have to be changed. Contact your Victron
Energy dealer or battery dealer for more details about the recommended charging voltages.
