Victron Centaur Charger 12V 100A (3 outputs) 3-stage charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/100 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR041
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 100A (3 outputs) is designed for 12 V systems with large battery banks that require fast and safe recharging. Its coated electronics and epoxy-coated aluminum housing ensure reliability in marine and industrial environments. The 3-stage IUoU charging curve—bulk, absorption, and float—maximizes battery lifespan and maintains three banks simultaneously without loss of current.
Main Features
- 100 A at 12 V for intensive charging of high-capacity banks.
- 3 fully isolated full-power outputs for service, starter, and auxiliary.
- 3-stage IUoU curve with automatic thermal compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz); stable with grid or generator.
- Front ammeter for real-time current monitoring.
- Protections against overtemperature (derating) and output short circuit.
Advantages or Benefits
- Drastically reduces charging time and improves system availability.
- Longer battery life thanks to precise, temperature-compensated voltages.
- Allows separation of banks without additional distributors and without splitting current.
- Industrial architecture, minimal maintenance, and long durability in demanding environments.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended for vessels with high consumption, charter, special vehicles, mobile workshops, telecommunications, and stationary 12 V panels with large banks (service and starter).
