Mascot Lead-acid battery charger 2541-12 12V 2.2A

The Mascot 2541-12 is a high-quality and flexible desktop charger for 12V lead-acid battery systems. With a charging current of 2.2 amps and the proven 3-stage charging characteristic, it ensures efficient and battery-friendly charging. Thanks to its medical approval (EN 60601-1) and protection class IP41, it is the ideal solution for demanding applications in medical technology and care, where maximum safety and reliability are required.

Highlights at a glance

• Intelligent 3-stage charging: Fully automatic charging cycle with timer control for maximum battery life and optimal full charge.
• Medical approval: Certified to EN 60601-1 (3rd edition) for safe use in the medical patient environment.
• Flexible plug system (DC-X): Equipped with a snap-lock coupling that enables tool-free changing of different output plugs.
• Universal input (AC-X): Wide-range input (90-264 VAC) with exchangeable mains lead for worldwide use.
• Increased protection (IP41): The housing provides protection against solid foreign objects (>1mm) and vertically falling dripping water.
• Clear status indication: 3-colour LED display (orange/yellow/green) intuitively indicates the current charging progress.

Precise charging technology for 12V systems

The Mascot 2541 uses an advanced 3-stage charging method (3-Step Charge). In the first phase (Cycle), the battery is charged with a constant current of 2.2A until the end-of-charge voltage of 14.7V is reached. This is followed by a timer-controlled phase that holds the voltage to ensure full saturation of the battery chemistry. Finally, the device switches to maintenance charging (Float at 13.7V) to keep the battery permanently ready for use without overcharging it.

Ideal for medical and demanding applications

This charger has been specially developed for professional environments. It is ideally suited for medical devices such as patient lifts, suction pumps or mobile care trolleys. With its combination of medical certification and IP41 protection class, it also provides reliable power supply in sensitive industrial environments.

FAQs about the Mascot 2541-12 charger

What does AC-X and DC-X mean?

AC-X stands for the flexibility of mains input; the device uses an interchangeable mains cable (IEC C8 socket), so that it can be operated worldwide with the appropriate country plug. DC-X refers to the output cable with a snap-lock coupling. Various adapters (crocodile clips, XLR plugs, barrel plugs) can simply be plugged in here, without the need for soldering.

Can I leave the charger permanently connected to the battery?

Yes, the Mascot 2541 is designed for continuous operation. As soon as the battery is full, the device activates maintenance charge mode (Float, 13.7V), which compensates for natural self-discharge and keeps the battery in optimum condition.

For which battery capacities is it suitable?

With a charging current of 2.2 amps, this device is recommended for 12V batteries with a capacity between approx. 10 Ah and 60 Ah. Smaller batteries could be charged too quickly, whereas with very large batteries the charging time increases.

What do the LED colours mean?

• Orange: Main charging with maximum current (battery is being charged).
• Yellow: Timer phase with constant voltage (battery approaches full charge)
• Green: Maintenance charging (charging process complete, battery is full).
