Victron Centaur Charger 12/100(3) 120-240V (CCH012100000)

The Victron Centaur Charger 12V 100A is a powerful battery charger designed for demanding 12V electrical systems. Featuring three isolated charging outputs and automatic three-stage charging, it provides reliable battery charging for marine, leisure and off-grid installations.

Its wide input voltage range allows operation from 90–265V AC at either 50Hz or 60Hz. This makes it suitable for installations where mains supplies may vary.

Victron Centaur Charger 12V 100A

The Centaur range is built for demanding environments. Its aluminium epoxy powder-coated casing, drip shield and stainless steel fixings provide durability in conditions involving heat, humidity and salt air.

Internal circuit boards feature an acrylic coating for additional corrosion resistance. Temperature monitoring also helps protect internal components under demanding operating conditions.

Three Isolated Battery Outputs

This three output battery charger can simultaneously charge up to three separate 12V battery banks.

Each output can supply up to the full rated 100A when required. However, the combined charging current across all three outputs cannot exceed 100A.

This arrangement is particularly useful for boats and other installations with separate starter, service or auxiliary battery banks.

Automatic Three-Stage Charging

The 12V 100A battery charger uses an automatic three-stage charging characteristic to manage battery charging and maintenance.

The charger progresses through bulk, absorption and float charging stages, helping replenish batteries before maintaining their charge.

An internal temperature sensor compensates the charging voltage according to temperature. A DIP switch allows suitable charging settings to be selected for flooded lead-acid, Gel or AGM batteries.

Wide Input Voltage Range

The Victron battery charger operates across a 90–265V AC input range without requiring manual adjustment.

Both 50Hz and 60Hz mains supplies are supported, making it suitable for use with different mains electrical systems.

The charger also accepts a 90–400V DC supply, providing additional flexibility for specialist installations.

Suitable Applications

This marine battery charger is particularly well suited to installations requiring high-current charging across multiple battery banks.

Typical applications include:

• Boats and yachts

• Marine service battery systems

• Motorhomes with large 12V battery banks

• Commercial vehicles

• Off-grid electrical installations

• Multi-bank battery charging systems

Its robust construction and high charging capacity make it a practical solution for demanding 12V battery installations.
