The Centaur Charger 24/60(3) is a Victron mains battery charger for 24 V banks. It delivers a nominal 60 A through three charge outputs and takes AC input from 90 to 265 V. Absorption is set at 28.5 V, and the recommended battery capacity runs from 240 to 600 Ah. It is ignition protected, weighs 12 kg and has an IP20 enclosure rating.
Our take
Three charge outputs let one 60 A charger serve several batteries, with a recommended bank size of 240 to 600 Ah. The IP20 rating is the limit to plan around, so mount it in a dry, sheltered spot.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
- It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
