Victron Energy CYR010230010R Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A intelligent battery combiner Retail

Protection against overheating (due to a long duration overload e.g.)

The Cyrix will disengage in case of excessive contact temperature, and engage again after it has cooled down.

Prioritizing the starter battery

In a typical setup the alternator is directly connected to the starter battery. The accessory battery, and possibly also a bow thruster and other batteries are each connected to the starter battery by Cyrix-ct battery combiners. When a Cyrix-ct senses that the starter battery has reached its connect voltage, it will engage to allow for parallel charging of the other batteries.

Bidirectional voltage sensing

The Cyrix-ct senses the voltage of both connected batteries. It will therefore also engage if for example the accessory battery is being charged by a battery charger.

Intelligent battery monitoring to prevent repeated switching

The software of the Cyrix-ct does more than simply connect and disconnect based on battery voltage and with a fixed time delay. The Cyrix-ct looks at the general trend (voltage increasing or decreasing) and reverses a previous action only if the trend has reversed during a certain period of time. The time delay depends on the voltage deviation from the trend.

12/24 Volt auto ranging

The Cyrix-ct will automatically adjust to a 12V or 24V system.
