CRISTEC YPOWER+
12V 40A Charger / fanless
Perfect as replacement units for JAENNEAU, BENETEAU, WAUQUIEZ, LAGOON and other yachts.
YPOWER+ devices are perfect as replacement units for existing CRISTEC chargers on JAENNEAU, BENETEAU, WAUQUIEZ, LAGOON and other boats, as they are compatible with installed display devices such as the SCHEIBER NAVICOLOR thanks to the CAN BUS interface.
With more than 150,000 battery chargers in use around the world, CRISTEC is one of the world's most reliable manufacturers in the field of battery charging technology. With the YPOWER+ line, CRISTEC introduces the fifth generation of chargers to the market. Manufacturing in France ensures consistent high quality workmanship and reflects the reliability and performance of CRISTEC products.
The YPOWER+ chargers feature an impressive, robust construction and offer a high level of reliability and efficiency. Specially designed for rough maritime use, CRISTEC devices are used on recreational boats, yachts, commercial vessels and in industry.
CRISTEC YPOWER+ chargers can deliver their full power at temperatures of up to 60°C. These chargers can thus be installed in extremely hot environments, such as an engine compartment.
Features
Silent operation
CRISTEC is one of the few manufacturers to offer fanless chargers with an output of up to 60A at 12V and 20A at 24V. No fans results in silent operation and increased service life of the charger. This means you can even install units in the bunk, without disturbing your sleep.
Thermal performance
CRISTEC chargers deliver full power, even at temperatures of up to +60°C. They can thus be installed in extremely hot environments, such as an engine compartment. The CRISTEC YPOWER+ 12V/40A is ignition protected according to SAE J1171 and ISO8846 and ideal for the engine compartment.
Easy to install
Quick & reliable electrical connection thanks to the supplied plug connectors. Delivery includes a WAGO WINSTA 770-103 connector for AC connection and a Phoenix Contact connector for DC connection. Detailed operating instructions guide you step by step through the connection process.
Highly versatile
The five-stage charging characteristic charges and maintains lead acid, GEL, AGM and lithium ion phosphate (LiFePO4) safely and efficiently with integrated BMS. Thanks to the large AC operating range of 90 V - 265 V, the charger can be used worldwide and is therefore particularly popular with round the world sailors.

Can the charger charge 3 different batteries ? for example 2 AGM batteries and a LiFeSO4 battery ? if YES, can the batteries have different capacities but in total not to exceed 300Ah -for Cristec charger type 12V-25Ah ?
Hello Costin, this device has several charging outputs, but no separate charging characteristics per output (all receive the same voltage). So charging AGM und Lifepo4 Batteries in a mixed setup is not ideal. The specified battery capacity is only a recommendation, as larger capacities require longer charging times. Greetings SVB-Team Bremen
Dear Costin, We would like to thank you for your interest in our products and our company. LIFE PO4 batteries have 3 x major advantages : • Lightweight gain / smaller dimensions • Greater autonomy thanks deep discharge rate (90%) • Fast charging with a suitable charging current It is generally recommended by LIFE PO4 battery manufacturers to size up the charger ideally at C/3 (SOE - Safety Operating Envelop), C/5 being the lowest recommendation – C = global LIFE PO4 bank capacity : - i.e. ideally 100A for 300Ah battery bank; 60A minimum If not there is a risk the batteries will be never fully charged and then you reduce lifespan. Usually when a Lithium battery is installed. It takes almost all the power from the source. This is why we often install DC-DC converters on the alternators. Just to limit the current downstream the isolator in the Lithium Battery branch. Depending on the lithium bank I would recommend to put 1 YPOWER available for the Lithium bank. The reference is YPO12-60STPL : https://www.cristec.fr/english/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/02/YPOWER-PLUS-battery-chargers.pdf https://www.cristec.fr/english/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/YPOPLUS-Manual.pdf It features Bluetooth as standard, CANBUS as standard, 4 independent outputs, and Plug and Play connections. It's Ignition Protected, so you can put it in the engine compartment, and it's totally silent because there's no fan.
