Victron Centaur Charger 12V 50A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/50 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR038
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 50A (3 outputs) combines high charging intensity with maximum reliability. Designed for harsh environments, it integrates coated electronics, an epoxy-coated aluminum housing, and active ventilation. Its triple output allows simultaneous supply to service, starter, and auxiliary banks without power loss.
Main Features
- 50 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.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz), power factor 1.
- Front ammeter for immediate current monitoring.
- Protections against overtemperature (derating) and output short circuit.
- Robust IP20 construction, epoxy-painted aluminum, stainless steel screws, and protected electronics.
Advantages or Benefits
- Reduces recharge times in high-capacity banks without compromising safety.
- Longer battery life thanks to precise voltage and temperature management.
- Stable operation with generators or irregular grids due to its wide input range.
- Clean installation and minimal maintenance with clear indicators and AGM/GEL/open lead selector.
Purpose or Applications
Suitable for cruising or charter vessels, special vehicles, stationary 12 V systems, and technical rooms where intense and continuous charging of multiple banks is required.
