Product details
A charger that can be used anywhere in the world! This high-quality Centaur battery charger has a three-step charging characteristic as well as universal power input and can charge up to three separate batteries simultaneously.
Robust quality
Temperature sensors ensure that all power carriers operate within the specified range and, if necessary, automatically reduce the output current under extreme conditions. The housing is made of aluminium with an epoxy powder coating and reliably protects against condensation water. The mounting parts are made of stainless steel and withstand the harshest conditions such as humidity, salty air and heat.
Universal power input
Unlike most chargers that have universal power input, the Centaur charger maintains full output power within the following range between 90-265 V AC (50/60 Hz).
Three outputs, each with full output power
Centaur charges up to three separate sets of batteries simultaneously and supplies full power.
Three-step charging characteristic with temperature compensation
Centaur will charge with constant power (bulk) until the charge current has dropped to 70% of the nominal value. This is followed by a fixed four-hour constant voltage phase, followed by a trickle charge phase. The charging voltage is regulated by the internal temperature sensor (-2mV/°C per cell). The optimum charging voltage values for the respective battery types (e.g. wet lead battery, gel battery or AGM battery) can be set with a push-button switch.
System example
The battery charger charges the battery and at the same time serves as a power supplier for the connected devices.

Technical question
Manuel S.
| Feb 26, 2022
I own a Centaur 12-40 installed in my sailing boat, charging two banks of batteries. Start bank and service bank. Service bank includes two 90 Amp Victron Gel batteries. I intend now to change this ones for two 100 A LiFePO4 (lithium). This Lithium batteries demand Charge Voltage 14,6 volts and Float Charge 13,5 volts. The charge voltage for LA (Especially flooded lead acid batteries) indicated in the Manual is accurately 14,5 Absorption Charge, and 13,5 on Float, so exact voltages for Lithium. Is it possible to charge LiFePO4 (Lithium) batteries with this charger ? Thanks for any info.

Sorry Manuel, we cannot answer your question clearly. Your Centaur is designed for charging lead-acid batteries. According to the manual, it delivers 14.5 or 13.5 volts (lead-acid setting). This may fit, but what you also have to take into account is that the Centaur's lead-acid charging characteristic is temperature compensated. It is assumed that battery and charger are in an environment with "normal room temperature" (20-25°C). An integrated temperature sensing reduces the charging voltage by -12mV/°C for a 12 V battery. Example: At a temperature difference of + 15 K, the charging voltage would be 0.18 V lower, i.e. only at approx. 14.3 V. Lithium batteries are charged with a constant voltage without temperature compensation. We cannot tell you whether the BMS of your lithium battery can handle the variable charging voltages of your Centaur.
