A networking charger that is ready for world travel.
Mastervolt is an industry leader in developing top quality components for marine electrical systems. Exclusive to West Marine, the ChargeMaster is an excellent example of Mastervolt’s ability to engineer cutting edge technology that thrives in marine applications. Like many other Mastervolt products, this charger can be used in stand-alone applications or as part of a complete vessel network.
Intuitive controls and easy to read displays remove the challenge of setting up and getting the most out of this charger. This 3 bank charger features a fully automatic system to provide multiple stage charging to a variety of battery types including: flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel and spiral batteries. Voltage output settings can be modified to meet manufacturer charge profile specifications. A special stage enables this charger to revive a ‘dead battery’. A built-in memory function will retain settings to prevent overcharging batteries in situations with an interrupted power source. These efficient chargers feature a universal input to be compatible with shore power service worldwide and will automatically adjust to deliver a consistent charge. Even in poor quality power situations, the charging power does not decrease. The ChargeMaster can provide DC power through an included auxiliary power supply even if there are no batteries connected.
Installation is made easier by a number of features. Using high frequency switch mode technology, the ChargeMaster is compact and lightweight while remaining extremely efficient (Power factor corrected >98%). An ignition protected rating allows installation almost anywhere aboard—including the engine compartment. Variable speed fans sense and adjust to ambient temperatures to offer a consistent charge in a wide range of environments. Captive screws and keyhole slots allow installers to ‘hang’ and secure the charger making installation in space limited locations easier.
Network connections are made simple by a single cable. Built into the ChargeMaster is system functionality to share information over a MasterBus network to allow complete control of the charger from remote locations within the boat or from anywhere using SMS technology. The single cable approach and MasterBus platform add versatility and stability to a boat’s electrical system.
Ideal for boaters with a moderately complex electrical systems looking for a highly efficient and compact battery charger that is easy to use. The ChargeMaster is an excellent choice for world cruisers and boaters wanting a fully automatic battery charger that is packed with features to quickly charge batteries, extend battery life and simplify operation.
