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

Experience reliable, intelligent battery management with the Victron Cyrix-ct 12/24V-230A. Whether you're building a new off-grid setup or upgrading an existing split charge system, this VSR delivers the precision and durability needed for demanding mobile and marine applications. Add it to your system now and ensure your auxiliary batteries are always ready when you need them.

Value for money
Color: Blue
This definitely is something to have. Used it a lot while travelling and for office use as well. It takes out all the gunk from the bag and is easy to clean as well

Used for a year.
Color: Black
Had this in a back pack for a year and wow. The dirt collected is kinda shocking. I will buy more of these for different bags!

Fun little gadget we never knew we needed.
Color: Pink
Who knew keeping our bags and purses could be so easy. Easy to clean once it does it's "job". Doesn't take up much room and works like a charm

Mixed Results - Sauberkugel Clean Ball Review
Color: Bag Petrol
I purchased the Sauberkugel Clean Ball in Teal to help keep my bags clean from dust, dirt, and crumbs, and while it had some positive aspects, I can only give it a moderate 3-star rating due to a few shortcomings. On the plus side, the concept of the sticky inside ball is ingenious and showed promise. It did manage to pick up some dust and small particles (including glitter) from my purse which was a relief. The teal color is cute and made it easier to spot in a bag. However, there were some limitations that affected its overall effectiveness. *It seemed to struggle with picking up certain types of debris, particularly larger crumbs, heavier dirt, and ever some larger glitter/confetti pieces. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing as I had hoped based on the ads for it to be much more effective. *Another major issue I encountered was the difficulty of opening and cleaning the ball. The design was supposed to make it relatively easy to open and clean (as the ads lead me to believe). However I was unable to get the ball unlatched - which made it quite challenging to clean fully. It was frustrating to wrestle with the ball and being unable open to clean it out fully. In summary, while the Sauberkugel Clean Ball had its merits and did manage to capture some unwanted particles, it fell short in terms of consistency and ease of use. The struggle to open and clean the ball was a significant drawback for me.

Great item, totally worth it.
Color: Black
I've used this for over a year now in my nice work purse to keep those tiny dirt particles from who-knows-where (you know the ones I mean!) from mysteriously getting in the bottom of of it. It rolls around easily in its plastic case either naturally (without getting goopy or leaky) or rolled by hand. Handiest thing I've ever bought to help keep my purse clean!
