The Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A is a battery combiner that detects 12 V or 24 V automatically. Victron describes the Cyrix family as relay combiners that join batteries in parallel once one reaches a set voltage. This one is rated 230 A continuous and 500 A for a 5 second cranking surge. It connects on M8 bolts, comes with a 1 m control cable, sits in an IP54 case, and draws 4 mA when open and 230 mA when closed at 12 V.
Our take
The Cyrix-ct 230A is a relay, so there is virtually no voltage drop across it and alternator output needn't be raised to compensate. It is rated 230 A continuous with 500 A for 5 seconds of cranking, and draws 230 mA at 12 V while closed.
From our buying guide
NMMA says not to mix battery chemistries or types in the same bank, and the makers add their own limits.
Check before you buy:
- Each maker sets its own alternator rules. Battle Born calls a DC-to-DC charger a simple and safe way to use alternator charging.
- Battle Born warns that a BMS shutdown leaves the vessel without power, and that one during alternator charging can severely damage the alternator.
- Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
