Victron Centaur Charger 12V 30A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/30 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR036
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 30A (3 outputs) is designed for applications where reliability and continuous power are mandatory. Its industrial architecture with protected electronics, active ventilation, and epoxy-painted aluminum housing ensures a long service life in marine or industrial environments. It allows charging three 12 V banks simultaneously with maximum efficiency.
Main Features
- 30 A at 12 V with 3 fully isolated full-power outputs for service, starter, and auxiliary banks.
- 3-stage charging IUoU (bulk, absorption ~14.3 V, float ~13.5 V) with temperature compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz) and power factor 1; stable even with generators.
- Front ammeter for direct monitoring of charging current.
- Protections against overtemperature (automatic derating) and output short circuit.
- Robust IP20 design, stainless steel screws, and coated electronics against salt mist.
Advantages or Benefits
- Balances and maintains multiple banks without losing current on any output.
- Extends battery life thanks to IUoU management and AGM/GEL/lead selection.
- Global installation: operates on any grid (90–265 V) and with generator sets.
- Simple monitoring with clear indicators and minimal maintenance.
- Reliable operation in extreme climates and ventilated technical spaces.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for recreational or charter boats, camper vans, intervention vehicles, mobile workshops, and 12 V power panels in industry and telecommunications.
