Victron Centaur Charger 24V 16A (3 outputs) 3-stage Charging
Modelo: Centaur 24/16 (3)- Sku: VICTCAR042
- Vendor: Victron
Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Centaur Charger 24V 16A (3 outputs) provides reliability and safety in 24 V systems that require maintaining several banks simultaneously. It features protected electronics, an aluminum housing with epoxy coating, and active ventilation. Its 3-stage IUoU charging curve preserves battery health and ensures uniform charging on each output.
Main Features
- 16 A at 24 V with 3 fully isolated full-power outputs.
- 3-stage IUoU charging (bulk, absorption ~28.6 V, float ~27.0 V) with temperature compensation.
- Universal input 90–265 VAC (45–65 Hz) and stable operation with generators.
- Front ammeter for immediate control of charging current.
- Protections against overtemperature (derating) and output short circuit.
- Robust IP20 design, coated electronics, and stainless steel screws.
Advantages or Benefits
- Simultaneously maintains service, starter, and auxiliary banks without external splitters.
- Extends battery life by applying precise, temperature-compensated voltages.
- Ready for global use: operates with any grid between 90 and 265 VAC.
- Minimal maintenance and reliability for continuous use in marine and industrial applications.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for boats, special vehicles, stationary systems, and 24 V technical panels in telecommunications, security, and automation.
