Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A - Intelligent battery combiner 230 A
Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A is a microprocessor-controlled battery combiner that automatically connects batteries in parallel when one of them is being charged and disconnects them when the voltage drops below float level. Rated at 230 A continuous, it replaces diode isolators with virtually no voltage loss, so the alternator voltage does not need to be raised.
Main features:
- Battery voltage: 12 V or 24 V, automatic detection
- Continuous/cranking current: 230 A / 500 A (5 s)
- Start assist: yes, 30 seconds
- Thermal protection: disengages if contacts overheat, re-engages after cooling
- Battery terminals: long M8 bolts for more than one cable
- Protection rating: IP54
The Cyrix Battery Combiner is a microprocessor controlled heavy duty relay that automatically connects batteries in parallel when one of them has reached a pre-set voltage (indicating that the battery is being charged), and disconnects when the voltage decreases below float level (indicating that one or more batteries are being discharged). Cyrix Battery Combiners are an excellent replacement for diode isolators. The main feature is that there is virtually no voltage loss so that the output voltage of alternators or battery chargers does not need to be increased.
