Mascot Lead-acid battery charger 2840-36 36V 2.3A
Description
Product information
The Mascot 2840-36 is a high-quality desktop charger that has been specially developed for 36V lead-acid battery systems. With a charging current of 2.3 amps and the proven 3-stage charging characteristic, it offers reliable and battery-friendly power supply. Thanks to medical certification (EN 60601-1) and protection class IP41, this device is ideally suited for demanding applications in medical technology, rehabilitation, as well as industrial environments.
Highlights at a glance
- Intelligent 3-stage charging: The fully automatic charging cycle with timer control ensures optimum saturation of the battery and maximises its service life.
- Medical certification: Meets the stringent safety requirements of the EN 60601-1 standard (3rd edition) for safe use in patient environments.
- Flexible plug system (DC-X): Equipped with Snap-Lock coupling, allowing quick and tool-free swapping of various output plugs (e.g. XLR, hollow plug).
- Universal input: Thanks to wide-range input (90-264 VAC) and interchangeable mains cable (IEC C8), the device can be used worldwide without problems.
- Enhanced protection (IP41): The housing is robust and protected against solid foreign objects (>1mm) as well as vertically dripping water.
- Clear status indicator: A 3-colour LED indicator (orange/yellow/green) intuitively shows the current charging progress.
Precise charging technology for 36V systems
The Mascot 2840 uses an advanced 3-stage charging method (3-Step Charge) to optimally charge 36V lead-acid batteries. In the first phase (cycle), the device charges with constant current of 2.3A until the final charging voltage of approx. 44.1V is reached. This is followed by a timer-controlled phase in which the voltage is kept constant to ensure that the cells are fully saturated. Finally, the charger switches to float charging (at approx. 41.1V), keeping the battery permanently ready for use without overcharging.
Ideal for medical and demanding applications
This model is the perfect choice for professional use. It is ideal for powering 36V systems in rehab technology (e.g. scooters, electric wheelchairs), for mobile medical devices or industrial applications. The combination of medical certification and protection class IP41 ensures top safety and reliability.

FAQs about the Mascot 2840-36 charger
What does DC-X mean?
DC-X stands for the flexible output cable system with Snap-Lock coupling. Instead of a permanently installed plug, various adapters (e.g. 3-pin XLR, hollow plug or crocodile clips) can simply be plugged on without soldering.
Can I leave the charger permanently on the battery?
Yes, the Mascot 2840 is designed for continuous operation. After completion of the main charge, it automatically switches to float charging mode, which compensates for natural self-discharge and keeps the battery at 100% gently.
For which battery capacities is it suitable?
With a charging current of 2.3 amps, this device is ideal for 36V batteries with a capacity between approx. 10 Ah and 60 Ah. Larger capacities can also be charged, but will take correspondingly longer.
What do the LED colours mean?
- Orange: Main charge with maximum current (battery is charging).
- Yellow: Timer phase with constant voltage (saturation phase, battery almost full)
- Green: Float charge (charging process complete, battery is full).
