Victron Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A: Intelligent Battery Combiner for Dual-Battery Systems

Advanced Voltage Sensing Relay for Reliable Parallel Charging

The Victron Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A is a microprocessor-controlled voltage sensitive relay (VSR) designed to intelligently manage dual-battery systems in vehicles, boats, and off-grid installations. Unlike conventional split charge relays that rely on simple voltage thresholds and fixed time delays, the Cyrix-ct uses intelligent trend detection to prevent unwanted switching caused by momentary voltage dips or spikes. This ensures your auxiliary battery bank charges reliably without premature disconnection, even when powering high-demand loads.

Engineered for 12V and 24V auto-ranging systems, this 230A continuous battery combiner is an ideal solution for caravan battery charging, marine dual-battery setups, 4x4 auxiliary power, and commercial vehicle electrical systems. Its bidirectional voltage sensing and dual power supply allow it to engage from either battery side, making it a versatile component in any DC charging architecture.

Intelligent Trend Detection: Smarter Than a Standard VSR

Traditional battery combiners often disconnect under short, high-amperage loads or fail to connect a deeply discharged battery bank because the voltage immediately drops below the disengage threshold. The Cyrix-ct overcomes these limitations by analysing the voltage trend over time. It only reverses a connection decision if the trend has genuinely reversed, with a time delay proportional to the voltage deviation. This prevents nuisance switching and ensures stable, continuous charging.

Key Features

  • 230A continuous current rating with 500A cranking capacity for 5 seconds, supporting large battery banks and high inrush loads
  • 12/24V auto-ranging automatically detects system voltage, simplifying installation across mixed fleets
  • Bidirectional voltage sensing and dual power supply allow engagement from either battery, ideal for alternator or shore charger input
  • Start Assist function enables manual parallel connection for 30 seconds via push button or switch, providing emergency cranking power from the auxiliary battery
  • Over-temperature protection disengages the relay if contact temperature exceeds safe limits, automatically reconnecting after cooling
  • LED status indicator provides clear visual feedback: engaged, disengaged, connecting, disconnecting, and alarm states
  • Virtually zero voltage drop across the contacts, eliminating the need to increase alternator or charger output voltage as required with diode isolators
  • Prioritises starter battery by only engaging when the starter battery reaches the connect voltage, ensuring reliable engine starting
  • 16 mm (M8) long bolts allow secure connection of multiple heavy-duty cable lugs
  • IP54 protection rated for dust and water spray, suitable for engine bays and exposed installations
  • Low current consumption: less than 4 mA when open, 320 mA (12V) or 180 mA (24V) when closed

Built for Demanding Environments

The Cyrix-ct operates reliably in temperatures from -40 to +60 °C, making it suitable for Australian outback conditions, marine engine rooms, and cold-climate expeditions. Its compact dimensions (65 x 100 x 50 mm) and lightweight design (0.27 kg) allow flexible mounting in tight spaces. The included 1-metre control cable simplifies integration with existing wiring, while the robust M8 stud terminals accommodate heavy-gauge cables for minimal resistance.

Applications

  • Caravans and motorhomes: automatically charge house batteries from the alternator while driving
  • 4x4 and off-road vehicles: maintain auxiliary power for winches, fridges, and lighting
  • Marine vessels: combine starter and service battery banks for efficient charging underway or at dock
  • Commercial trucks and buses: manage multiple battery banks for lift gates, communications, and auxiliary equipment
  • Off-grid solar systems: integrate with battery chargers to parallel charge multiple battery strings

Why Choose the Cyrix-ct Over Diode Isolators?

Diode isolators introduce a voltage drop of 0.6-0.7V, requiring higher alternator output and reducing charging efficiency. The Cyrix-ct uses a mechanical relay with negligible voltage loss, ensuring your batteries receive the full charging voltage. This leads to faster, more complete charging and longer battery life, especially critical for AGM and lithium batteries that require precise voltage regulation.

Upgrade Your Dual-Battery System Today

Best oil hands down
Size: 5 L
This is the only oil I use now, my mechanic recommended it. Works great in my Mazda3, runs smooth and no leaks. More expensive but, worth it.

Best Oil on the Market
Size: 5 L
I’ve used this and only this in my 15 Scion FRS since I bought it . I used to change it every 5k but I retired and now it’s a once a year oil change with less than 5k per year. The car has never had any issues with this oil . Since NASCAR changes oil in the cars every 500 miles I don’t whine about changing it once a year. $40 for oil is better than $10k for another built motor

I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat
Size: 5 L
My Audi factory setting says I should use VW 508.00. Somewhere online it says 5w-40. It's 82000 miles and I decided to give it a shot to go 0W-20 which is what VW508.00 is. I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat. The gas pedal feel is very smooth, there's definitely less resistance when pushing forward. In Sports mode driving, the engine is not as loud and the lag or drag is noticeably less. And when it hits 100k, I will do a engine flush to see if I can get further improvements. So far, I really love Liqui Moly. I used to use it on my S500 and it was very smooth. A little more money goes a long way! Don't settle for less for your German cars. Update: I just did another 1000 miles in a week to Vegas and back. The fuel economy improved about 20%. The power increase is amazing. I could notice when I am going fast, the sustained speed at high speed is easy and continuous, It doesn't just hit a snag when your foot is off the pedal. And the engine is definitely a lot quieter and smoother. I am amazed at the overall improvement after using this oil. No other oil will do from now on.
