Victron Centaur Charger 12V 80A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 12/80 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR040
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 80A (3 outputs) is designed for demanding systems that require high currents and maximum availability. Its industrial architecture, electronics protected with varnish, and aluminum housing with epoxy coating ensure durability in harsh environments. The 3-stage IUoU curve with thermal compensation protects the battery and optimizes recharge time, while its three full-power outputs allow simultaneous supply to service, starter, and auxiliary banks without additional distribution.
Main Features
- 80 A at 12 V for fast charging of high-capacity banks.
- 3 isolated outputs with full power on each for independent banks.
- 3-stage IUoU curve (bulk, absorption ~14.3 V, float ~13.5 V) and temperature compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz) stable with grid or generator.
- Front ammeter to view charging current in real time.
- Protections for overtemperature (derating) and short circuit; varnished electronics and IP20.
Advantages or Benefits
- Fast recharge of large banks without loss of current between outputs.
- Extends battery life with controlled voltages and thermal compensation.
- Global installation thanks to the wide input range, ideal for onboard generators.
- Minimal maintenance and reliability in continuous use in marine and industrial applications.
- Facilitates onboard energy management by separating service, starter, and critical equipment.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for cruising and charter vessels with high consumption, special vehicles, mobile workshops, telecom systems, and onboard or stationary energy systems where charging power is a priority.
