Mascot Lead-acid battery charger 2240-48 48V 0.25A AC-X/DC-X

The Mascot 2240-48 is an extremely compact and flexible desktop charger for 48V lead-acid battery systems. Despite its small size, it offers Mascot’s high-quality, intelligent 3-stage charging technology, which ensures gentle charging for lead-acid, gel and AGM batteries. The modular plug system (AC-X and DC-X) allows the device to adapt to a wide range of international standards and device ports on both input and output, making it the perfect solution for universal applications and maintenance charging.

Highlights at a glance

• Intelligent 3-stage charging: Fully automatic charging cycle (Cycle, Timer, Float) for gentle charging and maximum battery life.
• AC-X input system: Interchangeable mains plugs enable worldwide use without the need to stock separate country versions.
• DC-X output system: Interchangeable secondary plugs (snap-lock or jack) for flexible adaptation to various charging sockets.
• Ideal for 48V systems: Designed for small 48V battery packs or for permanent maintenance charging of larger systems.
• Safe operation: Comprehensive protection against reverse polarity and short circuit as well as an LED status display.
• Robust design: Compact housing, certified to IP40 (optional IP41) for safe use.

Maximum flexibility through interchangeable plugs

The Mascot 2240-48 is consistently 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 on the output cable allows for the charging plug to be changed quickly, with no soldering required. This greatly reduces the need to stock various country or device variants and provides a universal solution for service and export.

Gentle battery care for long service life

The proven 3-stage charging characteristic guarantees that your 48V batteries are not only charged, but cared for. After the main charge, a timer-controlled phase ensures safe full charging before the device automatically switches to maintenance charging (float). This compensates for self-discharge and keeps the battery permanently ready for use without thermal stress.

Reliability for professional applications

Mascot chargers are known for their durability and quality. The 2240-48 model is perfect for low-current applications or maintenance charging in backup systems, medical devices, or small electric vehicles operating at 48 volts. The LED display always clearly indicates the current status.

FAQs about the Mascot 2240-48 charger

What do AC-X and DC-X mean?

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

What battery sizes is the device suitable for?

The 2240-48 supplies a charging current of 0.25 A. It is therefore ideal for small 48V batteries (approx. 1 Ah to 6 Ah) or for maintenance charging of larger 48V systems to compensate for self-discharge.

Are the interchangeable plugs included in the delivery?

That depends on the specific item configuration. The charger is often supplied as a basic unit and the required AC and DC plugs must be ordered separately depending on the application. Please check the exact contents of your set.

Can I leave the charger connected permanently?

Yes. Once the battery is fully charged, the device switches to maintenance charging. The battery can remain connected to the charger for a long period to maintain full capacity (e.g. during winter storage).
