Compact Victron Centaur Charger - 24 Vdc - 40amp - 3-bank - 120-240 Vac [cch024040000] Highly Recommended [mU8t2pNn]

Victron Centaur Charger - Robust and Versatile

The Victron Centaur Charger is designed to meet the demands of modern power systems, offering reliability and performance that are unmatched. With a robust build, this charger is built to withstand the harshest conditions, including heat, humidity, and salt air. Its aluminium epoxy powder coated cases, complete with a drip shield and stainless steel fixings, ensure durability. To enhance its longevity, circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating, offering maximum corrosion resistance. This charger is not just about resilience; it is also smart. Temperature sensors guarantee that power components always operate within specified limits, adjusting the output current automatically in extreme environmental conditions.

Comprehensive Charging Capabilities

The Centaur Charger is designed with versatility at its core. It boasts a universal input voltage range of 90-265V AC, making it suitable for a wide array of applications. This charger is also DC-DC and DC-DC compatible, allowing it to be used with various power sources. What sets it apart is its ability to accept a 90-400 V DC supply, offering maximum flexibility in charging scenarios. With three isolated outputs, it can simultaneously charge three battery banks, each capable of delivering the full rated current. This feature is particularly useful in large-scale power systems or for those who require multiple battery banks.

Advanced Charging Technology

The Centaur Charger incorporates cutting-edge three-stage charging technology, ensuring optimal battery performance. It starts at bulk rate charging until the output is reduced to 70% of the rated Amps, at which point a 4-hour timer initiates. After this period, the charger transitions to float rate, maintaining battery health and extending its life. An internal temperature sensor adjusts the charge voltage for accuracy, providing optimal charging for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel, or AGM batteries. The charger is equipped with a DIP switch to select the best charge/float voltages, allowing for customization based on specific battery needs.
