Rated charging currents apply up to 40 °C ambient temperature; output decreases at higher temperatures. Battery voltage is selected by choosing the model: the charger does not automatically switch between 12 and 24 V.

Select for your project

Three outputs, one current rating

Any single output can supply the full rated current when used alone. With several banks connected, that current is shared: a Centaur 12/30 supplies up to 30 A in total, not 90 A. Nor does it mean each bank always receives one third.

Match the profile to the batteries

The selector configures the charger for Gel, AGM or flooded lead-acid; the manual states that Gel is the factory setting. The banks share the charging selection. Check every battery’s requirements before connecting banks with different charging needs.

Select for the installation

Send the voltage, capacity and permitted charge current of each bank, along with loads that remain active during charging. Include the shore or generator supply, available space and compartment temperature so the equipment selection can be reviewed.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Centaur 12/30 provide 30 A from each output?

No. The 30 A rating is the charger’s total maximum, subject to operating conditions. A single output can use that current; with several batteries connected, the outputs share the total.

Can it run from 115 or 220 V power?

Both voltages fall within the 90–265 V AC input range, without manual input-voltage selection. The specified frequency range is 45–65 Hz. This does not change the model’s battery voltage.

Can it charge a 12 V bank and a 24 V bank simultaneously?

No. Choose a 12 V or 24 V model for the connected banks. The three outputs are not three chargers with independently selected voltages or profiles.

Is it a direct choice for lithium batteries?

The documented Centaur profiles cover lead-acid, Gel and AGM batteries. Do not assume LiFePO4 compatibility: share the battery data sheet and BMS requirements so an appropriate charging solution can be selected.
