Victron Centaur 12V 30A 3-Bank Charger

The Victron Centaur is a 12V 30A three-bank charger with auto-ranging 90-265V AC input.

The Centaur is the analog-controlled charger in the Victron range, sitting below the Bluetooth-equipped Blue Smart and Phoenix Smart models. That means no app, no configuration and no firmware to update. For an installation where the charger is fitted and forgotten, the absence of those things is a feature rather than a limitation.

Auto-ranging input across 90 to 265V AC holds full rated output on shore supplies anywhere in the world without manual switching. That range also tolerates the poor supply quality found at older marinas, where voltage sags under load and a narrower-range charger would drop out.

Three outputs charge separate banks from one unit, and the rugged construction is built for permanent marine installation rather than portable use. Thirty amps at 12V suits a boat with a moderate house bank alongside starting and auxiliary batteries. Explore more 3-bank battery chargers.
