Mastervolt has launched its 36-volt and 48-volt Mac Plus DC-DC chargers. Featuring new bi-directional technology, the company said the new models provide a quick, safe and consistent charge for service and starter batteries.
The Mac Plus models’ bi-directional technology ensures service and starter batteries receive all the power they need by using either side as an input or output.
Eric Lindquist, Navico Group’s vice president and general manager, power systems, said: “Mastervolt is dedicated to providing premium solutions for all power needs and we are excited to announce four new models joining our Mac Plus series with new innovative features. Charging service batteries of a vehicle or vessel can be challenging due to voltage drops and insufficient charging. With the Mac Plus DC-DC charger, both service and starter batteries are charged efficiently, quickly and safely thanks to the revolutionary bi-directional technology that uses either side as an input or output. The Mac Plus provides consistency and peace of mind to users, providing stable power when they need it most.”
The Mac Plus monitors whether the engine is running/providing charge when the starter battery charges the house bank. Using Mastervolt’s 3-step+ charge algorithm, Mac Plus delivers a charge, even to completely flat batteries.
The new models can charge two batteries from a single alternator or charger. The Mac Plus supports full chemistry and battery ranges, including lithium, and functions seamlessly with modern alternators such as Euro 5 and 6. Additionally, the models feature parallel configuration of up to 10 units that will provide over 100 amperes and advanced high-frequency technology with modern microprocessors ensuring minimal power loss when switching from 36/48V to 12/24V and vice versa.
Mac Plus operates silently, without a fan.
Other key features include:
- Suitable for flooded, Gel, AGM and Li-Ion batteries (incl. LiFePO4)
- Voltage stabilization protects sensitive equipment, lights and loads
- Can be used as stand-alone or integrate as part of a system with CZone, NMEA 2000 and MasterBus
The four new Mac Plus models are available now. For more information, visit www.mastervolt.com.
