Victron Energy CCH012100000 Centaur Charger - 12 VDC - 100AMP - 3-Bank - 120-240 VAC

The Victron Energy CCH012100000 Centaur battery charger is designed to be a true world-wide product, thanks to Universal compliance and input/output specifications.

The Victron Centaur meets the requirements of both CE for European Countries and UL for the United States, and features auto-ranging input covering 90-265 Vac 50/60Hz input meaning it can be used anywhere in the world. Unlike other products that state universal input, the Victron Centaur will maintain full output power within the entire specified range. The Centaur charger also works on 90-400VDC input, making it the perfect Charging DC-DC Converter in a diesel electric system.

Other features of the CCH012100000 includes a fully automatic three (3) stage charge characteristic that ensures batteries are fully charged every time and three (3) isolated charge outputs for multiple battery configurations to suit almost all installations. The full Victron Energy Centaur range spans 12V and 24V models from 16A through to 100A.

Being that these battery chargers are suitable for any boat, regardless of their use, is a great advantage to boat builders and boat owners alike.

Being that the marine battery charger market is very competitive, Victron Energy has been conscious of the price of the Victron CCH012100000, making it affordable and providing excellent value for what you pay, without compromising Victron Energy brand’s known qualities. The Centaur range is comprehensive, competitive and compatible anywhere in the world.

Victron Energy Centaur Battery Charger Features

• Quality without compromise -  The Victron Energy Centaur Charger brings aluminium epoxy powder coated cases with drip shield and stainless steel fixings to withstand the harsh marine environment. 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 Centaur models will operate without any adjustment needed over a 90 to 265 Volt input voltage range, whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz. 

• The Victron CCH012100000 charger also accept a 90-400 V DC supply. 

• Three (3) outputs that each can supply the full output current. Three isolated outputs to simultaneously charge three (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/ºC (– 1 mV/ºF) per cell. A DIP switch is available to select the optimum charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel or AGM batteries.
