New Configurable Mascot 4041 LA Charger for Lead-Acid Batteries
In professional applications, the charger is no longer just an accessory—it is a critical system component. This is especially true for lead-acid batteries in medical, industrial, or instrumentation environments, where reliability, safety, and traceability are non-negotiable. Mascot expands its catalog with the new 4041 LA plug-in charger, a configurable solution of up to 5 A designed to provide advanced charge control and meet the most demanding market standards.
Mascot 4041 LA: Configurable Charger up to 5 A with Medical Certification
The Mascot 4041 LA is a lead-acid battery charger with a maximum charging current of 5 A, based on a three-stage charging algorithm with current sensing, enabling optimized battery lifetime and stable charging even under demanding operating conditions. It features a standard mains input, making it suitable for equipment intended for multiple markets without the need for region-specific versions.
One of its key strengths is its high level of configurability through the CBC (Configurable Battery Charger) module. Using the CBC toolkit, parameters such as timers, charge voltages, temperature limits (with PTC), cut-off current, voltage compensation, or pulsed float charging can be adjusted. Additionally, this configuration can also be performed in the field, which is highly valued in applications with long life cycles or distributed maintenance.
In terms of safety, the 4041 LA features protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, incorrect cell count, and includes a safety timer, as well as wake-up and low-current start functions for deeply discharged batteries. All of this comes with medical certification according to EN 60601-1 (ed. 3.1) and EN 60601-1-11 for home healthcare use, while also meeting domestic standards EN 60335 and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. EN 60601-1-2 ed. 4.
Applications and Benefits in Professional Environments
Thanks to its medical certification and configurable architecture, the Mascot 4041 LA is especially suited for portable medical equipment, home healthcare devices, energy backup systems, industrial instrumentation, and light mobility solutions. In medical applications, it provides regulatory peace of mind and electrical safety (standard 2 MOOP and optional 2 MOPP). In industrial environments, its configurable flexibility allows adaptation to different battery packs without redesigning the system.
Additionally, the ability to read the last ten charge cycles using the CBC software or Log Reader adds an extra layer of diagnostics and predictive maintenance, perfectly aligned with today’s requirements for control and traceability in professional electronic systems.
