Meet the Victron Centaur Charger — a rugged 12 VDC charger delivering 100 amps across three independent battery banks. Designed for boats, RVs, solar/off-grid systems, and other demanding applications, it powers multiple battery banks from a single compact unit.
-
Three isolated outputs: Each output can deliver the full rated current, charging three separate battery banks simultaneously without compromise.
-
High current capability: 100 A total across three banks to power multiple systems from one charger.
-
Universal input and flexible power: Accepts 90–265 VAC input (50/60 Hz) and 90–400 V DC input; all models operate across 90–265 VAC without adjustment.
-
Three-stage charging with temperature compensation: Bulk charging until the current falls to 70% of the rated amps, then a four-hour timer, and finally a float stage; temperature-compensated voltage adapts to battery type and temperature (-2 mV/°C per cell).
-
Adaptive protection: Internal temperature sensor automatically reduces output current under extreme conditions to protect power components while maintaining charging efficiency.
-
Battery type versatility with DIP switch: Use the built-in DIP switch to select optimum charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-Acid, Gel, or AGM batteries.
-
Rugged marine-grade construction: Aluminium epoxy powder-coated case, drip shield, stainless steel fixings, and corrosion-resistant circuit boards for harsh environments.
-
AC-DC and DC-DC operation: The Centaur can operate from AC or DC sources, offering flexible installation options across 120–240 VAC or alternative DC supplies.
-
Versatile applications: Ideal for boats, RVs, off-grid cabins, or any setup requiring dependable, multi-bank 12 V charging from a single charger.
The Centaur charger simplifies powering multiple battery banks by delivering reliable 100 A across three isolated outputs from one compact unit. Its advanced charging profile—bulk, timed, and float—maximizes battery life and readiness, while temperature compensation ensures voltages adapt to battery type and ambient temperature. An internal temperature sensor and automatic current reduction protect components in hot or humid conditions, reducing the risk of damage in marine environments or harsh climates. The DIP switch makes it easy to match charge voltages to Flooded Lead-Acid, Gel, or AGM batteries, while the rugged marine-grade enclosure and corrosion-resistant electronics withstand heat, humidity, and salt air. Flexible input options (AC and DC) and the ability to operate from 120–240 VAC or other DC sources simplify installation in boats, RVs, off-grid cabins, or other remote locations, ensuring dependable, efficient charging with minimal maintenance.
