• AC-X input system: Interchangeable mains plugs enable worldwide use (plug optional/configurable).
• DC-X output system: Interchangeable secondary plugs for flexible adaptation to different charging sockets.
• Wide compatibility: Suitable for all 12V lead-acid batteries (wet, AGM, gel).
• Safe operation: Protection against reverse polarity and short circuit as well as LED status display.
• Robust design: Compact housing, certified to IP40/IP41 for safe operation.

Maximum flexibility thanks to interchangeable plugs

The Mascot 2240 is designed for adaptability. Thanks to the AC-X system, the charger can be operated worldwide by simply plugging in the appropriate mains adapter (e.g. EU, UK, US, AUS). At the same time, the DC-X system allows the charging plug (e.g. hollow plug, jack, XLR) on the output cable to be changed quickly without having to solder. This reduces stock-keeping and offers a universal solution for service and export.

Gentle battery care

The proven 3-stage charging characteristic guarantees that your batteries are not only charged, but also maintained. After the main charge, a timer-controlled phase ensures a full charge before the device automatically switches to float charging. This compensates for self-discharge and keeps the battery permanently ready for use without subjecting it to thermal stress.

Reliability for professional applications

Mascot chargers are known for their durability. The 2240 model is ideal for small medical devices, safety applications or mobile measuring devices. The LED display provides clear information about the current status (charging / full) at all times, and the protective functions prevent damage in the event of incorrect operation.

FAQs about the Mascot 2240 charger

What do AC-X and DC-X mean?

AC-X and DC-X are the names for the flexible plug system from Mascot. AC-X means that the mains plug (for the socket) is interchangeable (clip system). DC-X means that the plug can also be changed towards the battery to adapt it to different device sockets.

Are the interchangeable plugs included in the scope of delivery?

This depends on the specific item configuration. Often the charger is supplied as a basic unit and the required AC and DC plugs must be ordered separately to suit the application. Please check the exact scope of delivery.

What battery sizes is the device suitable for?

The 2240-12 is a compact charger for small to medium battery capacities. It is ideal for 12V batteries in the range of approx. 3 Ah to 12 Ah (e.g. in hand lamps, small UPS systems or medical devices).

Can I leave the charger permanently connected?

Yes. As soon as the battery is full, the device switches to maintenance charging. The battery can remain on the charger for an extended period to maintain full capacity (e.g. during winter storage).
