Victron Centaur Charger 12V 60A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/60 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR039
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 60A (3 outputs) is the professional solution for quickly and safely charging multiple 12 V battery banks in boats, special vehicles, and stationary systems. It combines protected electronics, an epoxy-painted aluminum housing, and a 3-stage IUoU charging curve that maximizes battery lifespan. With a universal input of 90–265 VAC and three full-power outputs, it simultaneously maintains service, starter, and auxiliary batteries without compromising current.
Main Features
- 60 A at 12 V with 3 isolated full-power outputs for independent banks.
- 3-stage IUoU charging (bulk, absorption ~14.3 V, float ~13.5 V) with automatic temperature compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz), suitable for unstable grids and generators.
- Front ammeter for real-time visualization of charging current.
- Integrated protections: overtemperature with automatic derating and output short-circuit.
- Robust IP20 construction, coated electronics, and stainless steel screws for marine environments.
Advantages or Benefits
- Reduces recharge times in high-capacity banks and maintains system availability.
- Extends battery life thanks to precise voltage management and temperature compensation.
- Allows separation of banks (service, starter, windlass, etc.) without external splitters or power loss.
- Simple installation and minimal maintenance with clear indicators and internal AGM/GEL/lead selector.
- Proven reliability in severe conditions: high humidity, vibrations, and saline atmospheres.
Purpose or Applications
Designed for recreational and charter boating, campers and intervention vehicles, mobile workshops, telecommunications, onboard energy, or residential/industrial 12 V backup.
