It delivers 30 amps across a 12V battery bank and accepts a wide AC input range of 120 to 240V, making it suitable for use across the UK, EU and North America. It is built for installations where multiple battery banks need to be charged simultaneously from a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30A total charge current at 12V across three independent output channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide AC input voltage range of 120 to 240V, compatible with UK, EU and North American supplies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree separate outputs allow simultaneous charging of multiple battery banks (e.g. starter, service and bow thruster batteries).\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 via optional sensor to protect batteries in varying ambient conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully sealed and protected against reverse polarity, short circuit and high temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Centaur range uses a microprocessor-controlled adaptive charging algorithm that adjusts automatically to the condition of the battery. During bulk charge, the full 30A output is applied. As the battery approaches full charge, the charger transitions to absorption mode, holding voltage constant while current tapers. Float and storage modes then maintain the battery without overcharging, which is particularly important in permanent or seasonal installations where the charger may remain connected for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-output design is a practical advantage in marine and vehicle installations where separate battery banks serve different functions. Each output is independently managed, so a deeply discharged service bank will not prevent the starter battery from receiving a proper charge. The 120-240V AC input means the same unit can be used on UK shore power, European marinas or North American supplies without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVictron's Centaur chargers are built to a high standard of electrical protection. Reverse polarity, short circuit and thermal overload protection are all built in, reducing the risk of damage during installation or in fault conditions. The unit weighs 4.3kg, which is compact enough for most panel or bulkhead mounting positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CCH012030000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 30A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC input voltage: 120-240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.3kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076021483\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 multiple battery banks (starter, service, bow thruster).\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 leisure installations with mains or generator AC supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicles and ambulances with auxiliary battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShore power charging at marinas operating on 120V or 240V supplies.\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\/30(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. Ensure the AC supply is correctly fused and that all DC output connections are made with appropriately rated cable and fusing for each battery bank. The unit accepts 120-240V AC, but the supply must be stable and earthed correctly. For marine installations, follow the relevant BMEA or IEC wiring standards. Temperature sensor accessories are available separately from Victron and are recommended for installations where ambient temperatures vary significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60190993744206,"sku":"CCH012030000","price":313.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_CCH012030000_-_Centaur_Charger_12-30_3_120-240V.webp?v=1784715719","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-centaur-charger-12v-30a-3-output","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
