Why choose ChargeMaster Plus
-
Two outputs with integrated control—one output and an in/output channel, plus a DC-DC converter, current limiter and a built‑in VSR. This lets you manage power intelligently across multiple batteries and alternators.
-
High versatility for any chemistry—designed to combine Lithium Ion, Gel or AGM batteries and support large or small battery banks on a single charger.
-
Charge three batteries simultaneously—even when you’re underway, so your critical systems stay powered and ready.
-
Efficient, safe charging—the fast 3‑step+ charging method plus Safe Charge quickly determines the State of Charge to extend battery life and optimize performance.
-
World‑class compatibility—wide AC input range (80–275 V, 35–70 Hz) and 24 V nominal output with 40 A per output capability, plus MasterBus, CZone and NMEA communications for seamless integration with displays, shunts and power management systems.
-
Simplified system architecture—replaces auxiliary chargers, battery isolators and VSR, reducing wiring, cost and installation time while improving reliability.
-
Rugged, marine‑ready design—built to withstand harsh environments and compliant with CE, ABYC, UL, SAE, CEC and RCM/C‑Tick standards.
With the ChargeMaster Plus, you gain a powerful, compact charger that handles worldwide voltages, protects your investment with intelligent charging, and communicates across MasterBus, CZone and NMEA. It’s the perfect single solution for charging multiple batteries safely and efficiently, while delivering space‑saving convenience and effortless installation.
