The Centaur 12/60 (3) from victron Energy (mpn cch012060000) is a high-quality battery charger for 12v batteries with 3 charging outputs and a maximum charging current of 60a, which can be distributed to the 3 outputs as required. Thanks to its wide input voltage range of 90-265 v ac, the Centaur 12/60 (3) can be used almost anywhere in the world without any special settings. The IUoU charging characteristic with three-stage characteristic ensures gentle charging of your battery(ies). The Centaur is suitable for charging gel, agm and lead-acid batteries, where the battery type can be quickly selected via a DIP switch on the housing of the device.

The Centaur battery charger is fully high-frequency controlled. The power input is electronically regulated in the first power stage via the power factor. The next stage provides galvanic isolation and ensures perfect DC voltage at the outputs. The electronic components are protected against moisture and dirt by a special coating to ensure the longevity of the device. Three high-performance batteries can be charged simultaneously with this charger.

Centaur 12/60 (3): Quality without compromise

An aluminum housing with epoxy powder coating, drip protection against condensation water and stainless steel mounting parts allow the Centaur 12/60 to withstand the toughest conditions such as heat, moisture and salty atmospheres. The circuit boards are protected against corrosion by an acrylic coating. Temperature sensors ensure that all power components operate within specified limits and, if necessary, the output current is automatically reduced under extreme conditions.

Three-stage charging characteristic with temperature compensation

Centaur initially charges with constant current (bulk) until the charging current has dropped to 70% of the nominal value. This is followed by a fixed four-hour constant voltage phase at the end of which a trickle charge phase follows. The charging voltage is regulated via the internal temperature sensor (-2mv/°C per cell). The full charging current is distributed to three outputs, with each output delivering full power when only one battery is connected.

Different battery types can be used on the Centaur 12/60; the default setting is for gel batteries. Other batteries (lead acid or agm) can be used after making the appropriate setting on the inching switch (bottom left behind the front panel).
