Victron Cyrix-i 12/24V-400A: Intelligent Battery Combiner for Dual-Battery Systems

Advanced Voltage Sensing and Smart Switching for Reliable Parallel Charging

The Victron Cyrix-i 12/24V-400A is a microprocessor-controlled intelligent battery combiner designed to manage dual-battery systems in vehicles, boats, and off-grid installations. 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.

With a continuous current rating of 400 A and a peak capacity of 2000 A, this combiner handles high-demand applications such as winching, bow thrusters, or large inverter loads. The auto-ranging input (8-36 VDC) automatically detects 12V or 24V systems, simplifying installation and reducing inventory complexity for installers.

Why Trend-Based Switching Matters

Standard battery combiners often disconnect under short, high-current loads or fail to engage a depleted battery bank because the voltage collapses below the disconnect threshold. 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.

Zero Voltage Drop for Maximum Efficiency

Diode-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. The Cyrix-i uses high-current relay contacts, resulting in virtually no voltage loss. This means your batteries receive the full charging voltage, improving charge efficiency and reducing strain on your alternator or charger.

Bidirectional Sensing and Dual Power Supply

The Cyrix-i monitors voltage on both connected batteries and can be powered from either side. If one battery is too low to operate the relay, the other battery provides the necessary power. This ensures the combiner engages even when the starter battery is deeply discharged, as long as the auxiliary battery has sufficient voltage. For safety, the unit will not close if either terminal voltage is below 2 V (12V), 4 V (24V), or 8 V (48V), preventing unexpected operation during installation or maintenance.

Emergency Parallel Start Feature

A built-in push-button or remote switch input allows manual parallel connection for 30 seconds, providing an emergency start assist if the starter battery is flat. This feature is invaluable for marine, RV, and off-road applications where a failed start could leave you stranded.

Key Features

  • 400 A continuous / 2000 A peak current rating for high-demand loads
  • Intelligent trend-based switching prevents nuisance disconnects and ensures reliable charging
  • Auto-ranging 12/24V detection simplifies installation and reduces setup errors
  • Virtually zero voltage drop compared to diode isolators, maximising charge efficiency
  • Bidirectional voltage sensing and dual power supply for robust operation
  • Emergency start assist via push-button or remote switch for peace of mind
  • Microswitch output for remote status monitoring
  • Compact, vibration-resistant design with durable metal mounting bracket

Built for Demanding Environments

Encased in a rugged housing with high-current copper terminals, the Cyrix-i is engineered for the harsh conditions of engine rooms, vehicle chassis, and marine installations. The bicolour LED provides at-a-glance status indication, while the microswitch terminals enable integration with remote monitoring systems. Weighing just 0.9 kg, it adds minimal weight while delivering industrial-grade reliability.

Applications

Ideal for dual-battery systems in 4WDs, caravans, motorhomes, boats, and commercial vehicles. Use it to combine a starter battery with an auxiliary deep-cycle battery, or to link multiple battery banks for charging from a single alternator or charger. The Cyrix-i is also suitable for 24V systems in trucks, buses, and heavy equipment.

Basic mouse that works - - for now.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Blue
I ordered this mouse (in blue) to replace the recently deceased exact same model that I've used for the past 2 or 3 years. I like the simplicity of the M185 mouse and mostly the best bang for your buck! I caught this one on sale for less than a ten-spot, so I thought, "why not." I'm hoping that this one will last a bit longer than my two previous M185 models, that averaged about 3 years each. This model seems plagued by a short life span and is predisposed to mysteriously and suddenly dying, without any obvious symptoms or warning of any kind - - you're working and clicking along, going about your day, when suddenly the cursor on the computer screen freezes and that's it. Nothing, zero, nada. Funny thing, I'm very careful not to abuse or drop the mouse, and keep a fresh battery installed and watch for leakage and all that stuff - - they just stop working, and I assume it is caused by some sort of inherent electronic fault in the circuitry of the previous M185's. Due to my loyalty to the brand and model (and since it was on sale) I decided to give it one more shot. They say that "third time's a charm". I like the fact that the M185 is simple and uncluttered with extra buttons that I would never use for my purpose, which is simple web-browsing and the occasional text document production. The feel is solid, not heavy, but not cheap feeling, either. I'm used to the shape of this mouse, which to me is quite comfortable for long sessions, another reason why I kind of wanted to stay with this model. The buttons have an audible "click", which doesn't bother me at all, and the wheel moves smoothly and also has a clicking operation (which I rarely ever use). The overall surface of the mouse has a matte finish, but like my previous models I'm sure it will eventually wear shiny spots where my fingers reside and will attain a more "well-used" look in time. Connecting it was a breeze, too. I just plugged the dongle into a spare rear usb port of my desktop, and the mouse connected instantly, no problem. The dongle can be stored safely inside the battery compartment, so you can take the whole thing out of the house if needed for use elsewhere. The speed of 1000 dpi seems just right for my purposes. The one I ordered even came with its own AA Duracell battery, which I wasn't really expecting. This mouse also enters "sleep mode" when you don't use it for a while, and I can't say how many times I've got up and left it on all night. And that's not hard to do, as I'll explain next. The only real negative to this mouse is the absence of any easily visible status indicator of it's on / off switch. The rear housing of this mouse is matte black, including the tiny switch where you turn it on and off with your fingernail, with only a very faint "on" lettering (also black), and very hard to see with my aging eyes. The laser is not lighted or visible when on, also adding to the confusion, especially in a darkened room. So, as a workaround, I took a tiny drop of green paint and placed it down inside the switch slider to visibly help indicate the "on" position, and likewise a dot of bright orange for the "off" position. Many of Logitech's more expensive models (and a few other manufacturers) include this color-coded switch indication. I guess for the $$, they had to cut corners somewhere - - a minor complaint. In summary, this is a good basic mouse that works - - let's hope that this one will last longer than its two predecessors.

Dependable, Reliable

As advertised. Logitech, best mouse for your hard-earned cheddar! It’s not that the (years) old Logitech mouse failed in any operational way, it just got that gummy, sticky surface texture that’s impossible to remove. While shopping for a replacement I noticed an off-brand mouse/keyboard combo and thought, “hey, 2 for 1”…mistake. All was well for about three weeks, long enough that when the gremlins arrived I didn’t immediately associate the new hardware. For the purposes of this discussion, gentle reader, know that I run legacy (what I affectionately refer to as, “Lazarus”) builds. Rigs that started life running Windows Vista/7, died, and that now, resurrected, run 10 and 11, and all that that implies. So, when a mouse started stuttering, of course I thought it was a gremlin in the machine, right? I spent more days than I am comfortable sharing with you pouring over processes and background apps, and registry trims…before Accam’s Razor suggested I eliminate the mouse as a variable. Changing the battery was ineffective, but when I swapped in the ooold Logitech…Yahtzee/Bingo/Booyah…smooth and precise…butter! All I needed was a new Logitech mouse. So, if you’re here you likely are having mouse issues of your own, or you just need one that works…this is it! 😉

Smooth and ergo nice mouse.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Swift Grey
I needed this little thing quickly and got it within 2 hours of ordering. It was only an extra five bucks to get it now. Would have burned more than that in fuel. Works exactly as I would have expected. Perfect.
