High Current Handling
With a continuous current rating of 230 A, the Victron Cyrix-Li-ct is capable of handling demanding electrical loads without compromising performance. This capability makes it suitable for both 12V and 24V systems, providing flexibility for various applications.
LED Status Indication
The integrated LED status indicators provide real-time feedback regarding the combiner’s operation. This feature alerts users to the current status of the devices, enhancing user experience by making monitoring straightforward and clear.
Start Assist Functionality
The Start Assist feature allows users to engage the batteries in parallel during emergency situations. This is especially useful when the starter battery is low or not operational, enabling users to initiate their systems easily and quickly.
How It Works
The Victron Cyrix-Li-ct operates by constantly monitoring the voltage levels of connected batteries. It intelligently connects and disconnects based on set voltage thresholds while considering trends in voltage changes. This process ensures that the batteries are utilized optimally without risking damage from excessive discharge or overcharging.
Monitoring Voltage Levels
This component plays a vital role in the overall functionality of the Cyrix-Li-ct, ensuring that it only engages or disengages based on accurate and real-time voltage readings.
Connection Logic
The connection logic integrated within this device allows for automatic engagement based on battery status. If one battery reaches the predetermined connect voltage while the other remains stable, it ensures that the batteries work harmoniously.
Cooling Mechanism
The Cyrix-Li-ct includes a built-in protection mechanism that disengages the system if it detects excessive temperatures, thus preventing overheating and ensuring longevity.
