Next-gen smart battery charger suitable for multiple applications

Mascot has introduced its latest innovation: the Model 4340, a next-generation, high-performance battery charger designed for lead acid, Li-Ion, LiFePO4, and NiMH batteries and suitable for medical, industrial, and consumer applications.

Engineered for maximum performance and reliability, the charger employs an MCU-managed three-stage charging profile, optimising battery life and runtime. It also features smart wake-up capabilities for deeply discharged batteries and soft-start charging, delivering low current until normal voltage levels are restored – crucial for preserving battery health.

Ideal for demanding sectors such as medical technology, telecom, energy storage, and E-Mobility, the device ensures fast, safe, and efficient charging. With certifications including EN 60601-1 ed. 3.2, EN 60601-1-11 (Home Healthcare), and UL approval, it fulfils the highest standards for medical and professional-grade use.

The charger is fully customisable via the company's Configurable Battery Charger (CBC) toolkit, enabling users to set charge parameters through a PC interface easily. Configuration can also be accomplished in the field. A range of custom options, including connectors, cords, IP-rated enclosures, open-frame formats, branding, and additional certifications, is available upon request. The charger's advanced three-stage process restores full battery voltage, supplies saturation charging to maximise capacity, and automatically stops when the battery is fully charged – ensuring peak performance and extended runtime. A three-colour LED indicator provides intuitive feedback for charging, error, and standby status. An optional wall-mount bracket enhances installation flexibility.

With its combination of versatility, reliability, intelligent charging, and certifications to the most stringent safety and EMC norms, the 4340 sets a new standard for professional battery charging.
