Engineered for ultimate versatility, the Mastervolt ChargeMaster Plus 24/20-3 is a compact, high-performance 20 A 24 V battery charger designed for marine, mobile, and harsh-duty environments. With 120/230 V input and native MasterBus, CZone, and NMEA2000 compatibility, it integrates seamlessly into your vessel’s electrical system and smart management network. A new generation with improved cooling delivers very low noise across the entire power range, while offering a smaller, lighter footprint than previous models.
-
Three outputs with automatic current distribution: All three outputs can deliver maximum current when needed, with intelligent distribution based on the condition of each battery to maximize charging speed and efficiency.
-
Pre-float protection: Pre-float functionality prevents overcharging of smaller batteries, safeguarding longevity and performance.
-
Versatile charging architecture: The ChargeMaster Plus charges any battery chemistry using the fast and safe 3-step+ charging method, with included Lithium Ion profile and support for a customised, user-defined profile.
-
Battery’s Best Friend: The architecture enables rapid, safe charging of two or three batteries, with compatibility across worldwide mains voltages and frequencies.
-
Standalone or system-integrated: Use as a plug-and-play standalone charger or fully functional within a MasterBus or CZone system for centralized power management.
-
Advanced communications: Direct communication with Mastervolt Lithium Ion batteries, MasterShunt, or a system display for real-time adjustments and optimal performance.
-
Rugged and reliable: Built to withstand high temperatures and voltage fluctuations, making it ideal for harsh maritime and mobile environments. Certified to CE, ABYC, UL, cULus, SAE, ISO, ACMA and more.
-
Global compatibility: Designed to handle worldwide frequencies and mains voltages, ensuring reliable charging anywhere in the world.
