Victron Centaur Charger 12V 40A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/40 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR037
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 40A (3 outputs) is designed to safely and quickly charge up to three 12 V battery banks simultaneously. Its protected electronics and epoxy-coated aluminum housing ensure reliability in marine and industrial environments, while the 3-stage IUoU charging curve preserves battery life.
Main Features
- 40 A at 12 V with 3 fully isolated full-power outputs.
- 3-stage IUoU charging (bulk, absorption ~14.3 V, float ~13.5 V) with temperature compensation (-2 mV/°C per cell).
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz), power factor 1.
- Front ammeter to display real-time charging current.
- Protections against overtemperature (automatic derating) and output short circuit.
- Robust construction IP20, epoxy-painted aluminum and coated electronics against salt mist.
Advantages or Benefits
- Allows management of service, starter, and auxiliary banks without splitting current.
- Extends battery life with controlled, temperature-compensated charging.
- Operates with unstable grids and generators thanks to its wide input range.
- Simple installation and maintenance with clear indicators and internal AGM/GEL/open lead-acid selector.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for boats, campers, and emergency vehicles, as well as 12 V power panels in industry, telecommunications, or stationary backup.
