Mastervolt ChargeMaster Plus 24/20-3 Battery Charger 24V 20A 3-Output – Smart Multi-Bank Marine Charger
The Mastervolt ChargeMaster Plus 24/20-3 is a compact and intelligent 3-output battery charger designed for professional marine, RV, and industrial systems. With a total output of 20 A at 28.5 V, it delivers fast, reliable charging to up to three battery banks, automatically adjusting power distribution based on battery condition. Compatible with all major battery types—including Lithium Ion—the charger supports both plug-and-play and fully networked operation with MasterBus, CZone, and NMEA2000 protocols.
The ChargeMaster Plus line features pre-float logic to prevent overcharging of smaller banks, built-in temperature and DC voltage compensation, and a universal input for global use. Its rugged construction, vario fan cooling, and wide operating temperature range make it ideal for mobile or marine deployments in extreme conditions.
Key Features
- 20 A total output at 24 V for 80–200 Ah battery banks
- 3 independent battery outputs (all capable of delivering full current)
- Compatible with Gel, AGM, flooded, and Lithium Ion batteries
- Automatic 3-step+ IUoUo charging profile with user-defined option
- Pre-float functionality to avoid overcharging small batteries
- MasterBus, CZone, and NMEA2000 communication support
- Global input voltage: 120/240 V (80–275 V), 50/60 Hz
- Real-time temperature and voltage compensation (sensor included)
- Advanced protections: overload, over-temp, ignition-safe, and short circuit
- Certified: CE, UL1236, ABYC, ISO 8846, SAE J1171, CEC/DOE, ACMA
