Mascot Lead-acid battery charger 9740-24 24V 5A
Description
Product information
The Mascot 9740-24 is a proven and long-lasting desktop charger for 24V lead-acid battery systems. With a charging current of 5 amperes and reliable 3-stage charging characteristics, it provides safe energy supply for medium to larger battery capacities. Thanks to medical approval (EN 60601-1) and protection class IP21, this device is ideally suited for use in sensitive areas of medical technology as well as for industrial applications operated on a 230V mains supply.
Highlights at a glance
- Intelligent 3-stage charging: The fully automatic charging cycle (I-U-U) with timer control guarantees optimum full charging and keeps the battery maintained for a long service life.
- Medical approval: Certified according to EN 60601-1 (3rd edition) for safe use in patient environments.
- Reliable performance: With 5 amperes charging current, the device ensures efficient charging without thermally overloading the batteries.
- Dedicated input: Designed for an input voltage range of 198 - 264 VAC, optimised for European power grids.
- Reliable protection (IP21): The housing is protected against the ingress of solid foreign bodies (>12mm) and vertically falling dripping water.
- Clear status indication: The integrated 3-colour LED indicator (orange/yellow/green) provides information about the current charging process at all times.
Precise charging technology for 24V systems
The Mascot 9740 uses a battery-friendly 3-stage charging process. In the first phase (Cycle) the device charges with a constant current of 5A until the final charging voltage of 29.4V is reached. This is followed by a timer-controlled phase with constant voltage, to ensure full saturation of the cells. Finally, the charger switches to trickle charging (float at 27.4V), keeping the battery permanently at 100%.
Ideal for medical and industrial use
This charger is designed for professional continuous use. It is the ideal power source for power wheelchairs, scooters, patient lifts or mobile medical trolleys. The combination of robust construction, medical safety and 230V optimisation makes it a reliable partner in everyday use.

FAQs about the Mascot 9740-24 charger
What does the input voltage range 198-264V mean?
This range signals that the charger is optimised for 230V networks (as is usual in Europe). It is not suitable for operation on 110V networks (e.g. USA). This specialisation often allows a more robust construction of the input electronics for the intended market.
Can I leave the charger permanently connected to the battery?
Yes, the Mascot 9740 is suitable for permanent connection. After full charging, it automatically switches to trickle charging mode (Float, 27.4V), which compensates for the natural self-discharge and keeps the battery ready for use.
For which battery capacities is it suitable?
With a charging current of 5 amperes, this device is recommended for 24V batteries with a capacity between approx. 20 Ah and 120 Ah. It offers a balanced ratio between charging time and battery conservation.
What do the LED colours mean?
- Orange: Main charge with maximum current (battery is being charged).
- Yellow: Timer phase with constant voltage (saturation phase, battery almost full)
- Green: Trickle charging (charging process complete, battery is full).
