Battery to Battery Charger Mac Plus 12/12-50 + CZone Mastervolt

BATTERY TO BATTERY CHARGER MAC PLUS 12/12-50 + CZONE MASTERVOLT: SMART CHARGING SOLUTION FOR SERVICE BATTERIES

The Battery to Battery charger Mac Plus 12/12-50 + CZone by Mastervolt is designed to optimize energy management on board your boat, camper or converted truck. It ensures efficient recharging of your service battery, even in vehicles equipped with smart alternators and start-and-stop systems, which can compromise conventional charging.

OPTIMIZED AND CONNECTED CHARGING

This DC-DC charger compensates for voltage drops due to cable length and stabilizes the charging voltage, thus protecting your service battery and sensitive equipment. Thanks to its 3-step charging algorithm, it guarantees fast and safe recharging, extending the life of your battery. Integration with CZone, NMEA2000 and Masterbus allows centralized control of your on-board circuit, providing precise monitoring and automation of charging processes.

RELIABILITY AND VERSATILITY

The Mac Plus is compatible with different types of batteries, including lithium-ion batteries. Its robust housing and fanless design ensure quiet operation and a long service life, even under difficult operating conditions. It also offers intelligent features such as parallel operation and voltage stabilization.

Avoid service battery problems!
The Mac Plus 12/12-50 + CZone charger from Mastervolt is the ideal solution for your on-board electrical network. Modern vehicles with smart alternators and start-and-stop systems are power-hungry. The Mac Plus DC-DC charger ensures sufficient charging of your service battery at all times.

Typically, a service battery is linked to the starter battery via a charging relay. The starter battery is located near the alternator and receives the most charging current. While the service battery is usually further away. Cable lengths cause voltage drops that slow down charging, which causes faults in the device and premature battery failure.

Modern, energy-efficient engines are equipped with smart alternators in accordance with regulations such as Euro 5 and Euro 6. Instead of delivering a constant current, smart alternators provide a variable voltage. After a brief charging period, the voltage is reduced and charging stops. In addition, the energy produced by regenerative braking leads to voltage peaks. Conventionally connected service batteries would hardly receive any charging current and would be damaged by voltage spikes.

To solve these problems, Mastervolt presents the Mac Plus DC-DC chargers, available in 12 and 24 V. The Mac Plus monitors the service battery and compensates for voltage losses. The proven efficiency of the 3-step algorithm guarantees fast and safe charging. In addition, by stabilizing the charging voltage, Mac Plus protects the service battery and sensitive equipment.

The Mac Plus is your battery's best friend. It monitors your service battery, ensures that it is always well charged, and maximizes its lifespan.
