Norwegian power design expert Mascot AS has added an IP67 option to its 3743 high-quality battery charger for Lead-Acid, Li-Ion, LiFePO4 and NiMH batteries.
The IP67 option makes the 3743 fully dustproof and able to withstand water jets and water immersion at depths of 15 cm to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This makes it excellent for environments where exposure to water and dust pose significant challenges, ensuring rugged reliability in demanding conditions.
It is therefore well suited for a range of applications, including nautical use, off-road mobility, machinery, agricultural equipment, industrial systems, remote power solutions and equipment for emergency services.
The chargers use a 3-stage charging profile with a microcontroller to maximise battery performance. The 3743 is capable of waking up deeply discharged batteries and initiating soft-start charging with a low current until voltage is normalised. Custom units are available on request.
Key technical specifications of the 3743 IP67:
* Power rating: 6 W (1-cell) to 18 W (14-cell charger)
