Victron Energy Centaur Charger 12 VDC 40 Amp 3-Bank with Universal Input (Part No. CCH012040000)

Centaur Charger - 12 VDC - 40AMP - 3-Bank - 120-240 VAC

Features:

• Quality without compromise - Aluminium epoxy powder coated cases with drip shield and stainless steel fixings withstand the rigors of an adverse environment: heat, humidity and salt air. Circuit boards are protected with an acrylic coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Temperature sensors ensure that power components will always operate within specified limits, if needed by automatic reduction of output current under extreme environmental conditions.
• Universal 90-265V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation) All models will operate without any adjustment needed over a 90 to 265 Volt input voltage range, whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
• The chargers also accept a 90-400 V DC supply.
• Three outputs that each can supply the full output current Three isolated outputs to simultaneously charge 3 battery banks Each output is capable to supply the full rated current.
• Three-stage charging, with temperature compensation The Centaur charges at bulk rate until the output has reduced to 70% of the rated Amps, at which a 4 hour timer begins. After the timed period the charger switches to float rate. An internal temperature sensor is used to compensate the charge voltage with 2 mV/C ( 1 mV/F) per cell. A DIP switch is available to select the optimum charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel or AGM batteries

The Victron Energy Centaur Charger model CCH012040000 is a robust and versatile battery charger designed for demanding environments. With a powerful 40 amp output across three isolated banks, it allows simultaneous charging of multiple battery banks, making it ideal for RVs, boats, and off-grid systems. Constructed with an aluminium epoxy powder-coated case, drip shield, and stainless steel fixings, the charger withstands harsh conditions such as heat, humidity, and salt air. Internal circuit boards are protected by an acrylic coating, ensuring maximum corrosion resistance. Integrated temperature sensors monitor environmental conditions and automatically adjust output current or voltage to maintain optimal performance and battery health.

This charger features a universal input voltage range from 90 to 265 volts AC, compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, and can also accept a DC supply between 90 and 400 volts. Its three-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption, and float stages, with temperature compensation to optimize charging for different battery types, including flooded lead-acid, gel, and AGM batteries. An internal timer manages the transition from bulk to float charge, ensuring batteries are charged efficiently without overcharging. The charger requires no adjustments for operation across a wide range of input voltages, providing reliable performance in various global regions.

Designed for demanding applications, the Victron Centaur Charger offers built-in safety features and corrosion-resistant construction to ensure long-term durability. Its three independent outputs enable flexible system configurations, each capable of delivering full rated current simultaneously. This makes it an excellent choice for complex or multi-battery setups requiring consistent and reliable charging.
