Description

The Mac Plus 48/12-50 is a non-isolated DC-DC charger that takes a 36 V or 48 V input and delivers a quick, safe and consistent charge to a 12 V service or starter battery. Its bi-directional technology lets either side act as input or output, so a single unit can keep both banks topped up. Using the proven Mastervolt 3-step+ algorithm it charges even completely flat batteries, while engine-run detection prevents the starter battery from being drained.

A fanless aluminium housing gives silent operation and superior protection against dust and water, and the unit suits flooded, Gel, AGM and Lithium Ion (incl. LiFePO4) batteries. Adjustable current limits make it ideal for Euro 5/6 smart alternators, and up to four units can run in parallel for higher capacity.

Compatibility with MasterBus, CZone and NMEA 2000 allows full system monitoring and control, with configuration via MasterAdjust, the CZone tool or the on-board DIP switches.

What does the Mac Plus 48/12-50 do?
It is a non-isolated DC-DC charger that converts a 36 V or 48 V supply down to charge a 12 V battery at up to 50 A (750 W), using the Mastervolt 3-step+ charge algorithm.
What does bi-directional technology mean?
Either side of the unit can be used as the input or the output, so a single Mac Plus can charge in both directions and keep both the service and starter battery supplied.
Which battery types are supported?
Gel, AGM, Lithium Ion (including LiFePO4) and user-defined battery types, set via DIP switch or through MasterBus/CZone.
Can several units be combined?
Yes. Up to four Mac Plus units can be configured in parallel to increase the available charge current.
Is it galvanically isolated?
No. The Mac Plus 48/12-50 is a non-isolated charger, which keeps it compact and efficient with low heat generation; it suits systems with shared negative earthing.
