Victron Centaur Charger 12V 20A (3 outputs) 3-stage charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/20 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR035
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 20A (3 outputs) is a professional charger designed for demanding environments. It combines universal input 90–265 V, 3-stage IUoU charging curve, and three fully isolated full-power outputs, ensuring fast, safe, and uniform charging of multiple batteries simultaneously. Its aluminum housing with epoxy coating and varnished electronics make it a reliable solution for marine, special vehicles, and industrial installations.
Main Features
- 3 full-power outputs to charge up to three 12 V banks simultaneously and independently.
- 3-stage IUoU charging (bulk, absorption ~14.3 V, float ~13.5 V) with automatic thermal compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz) and power factor 1; operates on unstable grids.
- Front ammeter for real-time display of charging current.
- Integrated protections: overtemperature (automatic derating) and output short circuit.
- Robust construction: aluminum with epoxy paint, stainless steel screws, protected electronics; IP20.
Advantages or Benefits
- Optimal management of different banks: service, starter, and auxiliary, without performance loss.
- Longer battery life thanks to the 3-stage curve and temperature compensation.
- Total grid flexibility (90–265 V) for global use and with generators.
- Easy maintenance: clear indicators and internal selector for AGM, GEL, or open lead-acid batteries.
- Reliability in harsh environments (humidity up to 95% non-condensing) and operation from -20 °C to 60 °C.
Purpose or Applications
Perfect for boats, campers and service vehicles, workshops, technical rooms, and onboard or stationary energy systems where reliable triple charging is required.
