This ensures that discharging an accessory or auxiliary battery—such as a house bank in a caravan, boat, or 4WD—will not drain the starter battery, preserving engine start capability and reducing the risk of being stranded. Unlike generic split-charge relays or basic isolators, this Victron unit uses advanced Schottky diode technology to minimise voltage drop, delivering more efficient charging and longer battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for \u003cstrong\u003e12V and 24V DC systems\u003c\/strong\u003e, this isolator is ideal for marine, automotive, and off-grid applications where reliable multi-battery management is critical. Its low forward voltage drop—approximately 0.3 V at low current and 0.45 V at rated output—reduces energy loss and heat generation, ensuring more of the alternator’s output reaches your batteries. This is a significant advantage over conventional silicon diode isolators, which can drop 0.7 V or more, leading to chronic undercharging and premature battery failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Schottky Diode Technology for Superior Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC\u003c\/strong\u003e are high-efficiency Schottky diodes, which provide a lower forward voltage drop compared to standard PN-junction diodes. This means less power is wasted as heat, and the alternator can operate closer to its intended voltage setpoint. The integrated \u003cstrong\u003evoltage compensation diode\u003c\/strong\u003e allows you to fine-tune the alternator’s output voltage to offset the small remaining drop, ensuring batteries reach a full state of charge. This feature is especially valuable in systems where battery longevity and performance are paramount, such as in deep-cycle AGM or lithium battery setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC\u003c\/strong\u003e includes a \u003cstrong\u003ecurrent-limited alternator energize input\u003c\/strong\u003e which is essential for modern alternators that require a DC voltage on the B+ terminal to initiate charging. Without this input, a diode isolator would block the return voltage, preventing the alternator from starting. The energize circuit provides a safe, controlled current to the B+ terminal when the engine run\/stop switch is closed, ensuring reliable alternator activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Demanding Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron’s Argo Diode isolators are constructed with a durable anodised aluminium heat sink that efficiently dissipates heat, allowing continuous operation at high currents without thermal throttling.

Its low forward voltage drop—approximately 0.3 V at low current and 0.45 V at rated output—reduces energy loss and heat generation, ensuring more of the alternator’s output reaches your batteries. This is a significant advantage over conventional silicon diode isolators, which can drop 0.7 V or more, leading to chronic undercharging and premature battery failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Schottky Diode Technology for Superior Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron 80A Battery Isolator Argodiode 80-2SC\u003c\/strong\u003e are high-efficiency Schottky diodes, which provide a lower forward voltage drop compared to standard PN-junction diodes.

This makes it an ideal solution for \u003cstrong\u003e12 V and 24 V DC systems\u003c\/strong\u003e where reliability is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSchottky Diode Technology: Efficiency and Thermal Management\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the combiner are \u003cstrong\u003eSchottky diodes\u003c\/strong\u003e, selected for their exceptionally low forward voltage characteristics. This reduces heat generation compared to standard silicon diodes, allowing the unit to sustain an \u003cstrong\u003e80 A continuous current\u003c\/strong\u003e without active cooling. The integrated aluminium heat sink with cooling fins dissipates thermal energy effectively, even in confined installations.

The supplied cables are sized for the 120 A rating, with a 6-metre red 10 mm² power cable for the main run and a 0.5-metre black 10 mm² ground cable. A pre-assembled control cable with an M8 lug and 6.3 mm fast-on terminal simplifies the start assist wiring. Copper lugs with insulation sleeves (two M8 and four M6) and cable ties are provided to ensure secure, tidy connections. No cutting into factory wiring is required, preserving vehicle warranties and reducing installation time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Victron Cyrix-ct Over Standard Relays?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional VSRs often rely on simple voltage thresholds with fixed time delays, which can lead to nuisance switching when loads cause temporary voltage dips. The Cyrix-ct’s intelligent algorithm evaluates the voltage trend over a period, reversing a connection only if the trend has genuinely reversed. This is particularly beneficial in systems with variable loads, such as fridges or inverters, where voltage can fluctuate without indicating a change in charge state. The result is stable, predictable battery management that reduces wear on contacts and prevents unintended discharge of the starter battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the bidirectional design means the relay will close not only when the engine is running but also when a mains charger or solar regulator is connected to the auxiliary bank. This allows all batteries to benefit from any charging source, maximising energy utilisation and simplifying system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4WD and camping vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e – keep the cranking battery isolated while running accessories from a deep-cycle auxiliary battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarine installations\u003c\/strong\u003e – automatically combine battery banks during shore power charging or alternator operation, with emergency parallel for engine starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaravans and motorhomes\u003c\/strong\u003e – charge house batteries from the vehicle alternator while driving, and from solar when parked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e – manage multiple battery banks in trucks, buses, and emergency vehicles with high alternator outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff-grid solar systems\u003c\/strong\u003e – use as a battery combiner to share charge between banks without complex wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyrix-ct requires a common negative reference between all batteries, which is standard in most 12V and 24V vehicle and marine systems.

Unlike conventional voltage-sensitive relays (VSRs) that rely on simple voltage thresholds and fixed timers, the Cyrix-i analyses voltage trends to prevent nuisance switching caused by momentary loads or deeply discharged batteries. This ensures your auxiliary battery charges reliably without unnecessary cycling, extending the lifespan of your entire system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a continuous current rating of \u003cstrong\u003e400 A\u003c\/strong\u003e and a peak capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e2000 A\u003c\/strong\u003e, this combiner handles high-demand applications such as winching, bow thrusters, or large inverter loads.

The Cyrix-i overcomes these limitations by evaluating the voltage trend over time. It only reverses a connection if the trend direction changes for a sustained period, preventing false triggers and ensuring stable parallel operation. Four selectable timing profiles allow customisation for different battery chemistries and usage patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZero Voltage Drop for Maximum Efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiode-based isolators introduce a forward voltage drop (typically 0.6-0.7 V), requiring higher alternator or charger output voltages and wasting energy as heat.

Managing the connection between two fundamentally different battery chemistries requires precision. This intelligent relay ensures your batteries are safely paralleled for charging while protecting your sensitive lithium cells from improper voltage levels and extreme temperature conditions. Operating seamlessly at both 12V and 24V with a robust 230A continuous current rating, it is engineered for demanding marine, RV, and off-grid automotive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless VE.Bus BMS Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLithium batteries require strict operational parameters to prevent permanent cell damage. The Cyrix-Li-ct is designed to work in perfect harmony with the Victron VE.Bus BMS (Battery Management System). It actively monitors the Charge Disconnect output of the BMS. If the BMS detects an imminent cell overvoltage or high internal temperature, the control output becomes free-floating, and the relay immediately disengages to protect the battery bank. It will parallel connect your lead-acid and lithium batteries only when the BMS authorises charging and the relay senses at least 13.4V (or 26.8V for 24V systems) on one of its power terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-In Transient Voltage Suppression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSudden disconnections under heavy charge loads can create dangerous voltage spikes, which pose a significant risk to connected sensitive electronics.

This rapid response prevents thermal runaway and extends battery lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter disconnection, the relay intelligently manages reconnection. It waits for the BMS signal to return high and verifies that the charger output is at least 13.0V (12V system) or 26.0V (24V system). A 3-second delay ensures stability before re-engaging. If repeated faults occur, the delay extends to 10 minutes, preventing rapid cycling that could stress system components. Additionally, if battery voltage drops below 13.5V (27V for 24V) for an hour, the relay disengages to avoid unnecessary drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant BMS-driven disconnection\u003c\/strong\u003e for overvoltage and over temperature protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120A continuous rating\u003c\/strong\u003e at 12V\/24V, with 40A breaking capacity at 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic reconnection logic\u003c\/strong\u003e with progressive delays to prevent cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow power consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u0026lt;4mA when open) ideal for energy-conscious systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact, robust design\u003c\/strong\u003e (46x46x80mm, 0.11kg) with IP54 protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in transient voltage suppression\u003c\/strong\u003e to protect against inductive spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear status LED\u003c\/strong\u003e for quick operational diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Integration with Victron Energy Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyrix-Li-Charge is purpose-built for Victron's ecosystem, connecting directly to the VE.Bus BMS control output.

While Victron lithium batteries feature integrated cell balancing, a robust second line of defence is essential for long-term battery health.

The Cyrix-Li-load bridges this critical gap. When the VE.Bus BMS detects an unsafe drop in individual cell voltage, the control input to the Cyrix becomes free-floating.

The Cyrix-Li-load is programmed to wait 30 seconds before re-engaging to prevent rapid, erratic cycling. If it makes three attempts to reconnect without success, it will remain locked open until the battery voltage rises above 13V for 12V systems, or 26V for 24V systems, for at least 30 seconds, confirming that a sustained recharge is actively underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAddressing Transient Voltages and System Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen disconnecting heavy loads rapidly under fault conditions, significant voltage spikes can occur.
