It accepts a wide AC input range of 120 to 240V, making it suitable for both UK and international installations. Built for professional use, it is well suited to marine, vehicle, and off-grid applications where reliable, high-current charging is required across multiple battery banks simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80A total output current at 12V, distributed across three independent output channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide AC input voltage range of 120 to 240V accommodates varying supply conditions and international use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree separate outputs allow simultaneous charging of multiple battery banks, such as a starter battery and service bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicroprocessor-controlled adaptive four-stage charging algorithm: bulk, absorption, float, and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including flooded, gel, and AGM lead-acid batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-compensated charging adjusts output voltage based on ambient conditions to protect battery health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRobust aluminium housing rated for demanding environments, with a unit weight of 10.2kg indicating substantial build quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Centaur range sits in Victron's professional charger lineup, designed for installations where multiple battery banks must be maintained from a single charger. The three-output configuration is particularly practical on vessels, motorhomes, and off-grid cabins where a starter battery, domestic bank, and generator start battery may all need independent charging. Each output is managed separately, so batteries at different states of charge are handled correctly without one bank pulling down another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptive charging algorithm monitors battery response during the absorption phase and adjusts charge time accordingly. This means a deeply discharged battery receives a full, appropriate charge cycle rather than a fixed-time programme. The storage mode reduces float voltage when the charger detects the battery has been fully charged and left connected for an extended period, reducing electrolyte loss and extending battery service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 120 to 240V AC input range means the charger operates correctly on standard UK 230V supplies as well as 120V North American shore power, which is a practical consideration for marine and export applications. No manual voltage switching is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CCH012080000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput current: 80A total (three outputs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC input voltage: 120 to 240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 10.2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076021520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine vessels with separate starter, domestic, and bow thruster battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and coaches requiring simultaneous charging of chassis and habitation batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote installations with 12V lead-acid battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenerator-backed systems where shore power or generator output charges multiple banks during run time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicles with auxiliary battery banks requiring regular high-current charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Centaur Charger 12\/80(3) 120-240V unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or marine electrical engineer familiar with battery charging systems. Ensure the AC supply is correctly fused and that DC output cables are appropriately rated for the current draw on each output. For marine installations, follow applicable BMEA or RCD wiring standards. Battery chemistry settings should be verified before first use to ensure the charge profile matches the installed batteries. Do not install in an unventilated enclosure, as the unit generates heat during high-current charging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60190993973582,"sku":"CCH012080000","price":691.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_CCH012080000_-_Centaur_Charger_12-80_3_120-240V.webp?v=1784715726","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-centaur-charger-12-80-3-120-240v","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
