The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger by Universal Power Group features dual AGM/Gel charging modes, automatic shut-off, three-stage charging, LED indicators, and built-in electrical protection.
The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger is a reliable charging solution for compatible Permobil and Quantum power chairs that use AGM or Gel batteries. Manufactured by Universal Power Group (UPG), a respected name in battery and charging technology, this 24V 8.0A XLR charger combines automatic operation, three-stage charging, LED status indicators, and multiple protection features to make routine battery charging more convenient.
Designed for mobility equipment using an off-board charging system with a female XLR charging socket, this charger is suitable for compatible 24-volt battery systems, including batteries rated at 17 Ah or larger. Its dual-mode design allows the user to select either AGM or Gel charging according to the battery type.
For owners and users of compatible Permobil, Quantum, and other mobility power chairs, the MK charger provides a straightforward way to charge and maintain the batteries that power everyday mobility.
The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger is designed to simplify the charging process while helping protect the connected battery and charger during operation.
Rather than requiring constant monitoring throughout the charging cycle, the charger automatically progresses through its charging stages. Once the battery reaches the appropriate charge level, the unit switches to a maintenance or float mode.
This approach is useful for mobility equipment because batteries need consistent charging to remain ready for use. The charger can maintain a fully charged battery after the main charging cycle has finished, provided the charger and battery remain connected under the manufacturer’s recommended conditions.
The charger is intended for compatible Permobil and Quantum power chairs equipped with an off-board charging female XLR socket. It can also be suitable for compatible mobility scooters and other equipment using the appropriate 24V AGM or Gel battery configuration.
Before purchasing or connecting the charger, verify the connector, battery chemistry, voltage, and charging requirements of your specific mobility device. A matching connector alone does not guarantee electrical compatibility.
The 8.0-amp charging output is designed for compatible battery packs rated at 17 Ah or larger. Actual charging time depends on the battery capacity, condition, and how deeply it has been discharged.
A battery that is only partially depleted will generally require less charging time than one that has been heavily discharged.
One of the useful features of this charger is its ability to support both AGM and Gel batteries.
These battery types require appropriate charging characteristics, so the selector switch should be set to the correct battery chemistry before starting a charging cycle.
Always confirm whether your power chair uses an AGM or Gel battery before selecting the charging mode. Using the correct setting helps the charger follow the appropriate charging profile for the battery.
This flexibility makes the charger useful for different compatible mobility applications without requiring separate chargers for each supported battery type.
The MK charger uses a three-stage charging process consisting of Bulk, Absorption, and Maintenance/Float.
During the bulk stage, the charger supplies the primary charging current to bring the battery up toward its target charge level. This is the main energy-recovery stage after the battery has been depleted.
Once the battery reaches the appropriate voltage level, the charger transitions into absorption. This stage helps complete the charging process without continuing to apply the same bulk charging approach indefinitely.
The final stage is the maintenance or float stage. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger can maintain the battery at the appropriate level.
This helps prevent the need to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect the charger simply because the main charging cycle has ended. Always follow the battery and mobility equipment manufacturer’s instructions regarding long-term connection.
The automatic operation is another important feature of the MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger.
When charging is complete, the charger automatically transitions away from the main charging stage and into float mode. This helps prevent unnecessary overcharging while maintaining the battery’s charge.
For mobility equipment that needs to remain ready for regular use, maintaining a healthy charge can be especially convenient. Whether the power chair is charged after a day of use or prepared for the next outing, an automatic charger reduces the need for constant monitoring.
Battery charging involves electrical power, so protective features are an important part of a charger designed for mobility equipment.
The MK charger includes several safeguards.
Short Circuit Protection helps protect the charger if a short circuit occurs. The charger is designed to recover once the fault condition has been removed.
Reverse Polarity Protection helps prevent damage if positive and negative connections are accidentally reversed.
Over Current Protection helps limit problems associated with excessive current.
Over Voltage Protection provides additional protection against excessive voltage conditions.
The charger also includes Low Voltage Protection. If the connected battery falls below the charger’s preset starting voltage, the charger will not begin charging.
These features are designed to add protection during normal charging operation, but they do not replace proper battery care or safe handling procedures.
Three LED indicators provide a simple way to check the charger’s status.
The indicators show whether the unit has power, whether the battery is currently charging, and whether charging has reached the completed stage.
This straightforward display makes it easier to check charging progress at a glance without relying on complicated controls or screens.
The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp charger uses a switch-mode design, which helps keep the unit lighter than many traditional linear chargers.
For mobility equipment users, portability can be useful. A lighter charger is easier to handle, store, or carry when needed.
Its compact and practical design makes it suitable for regular charging at home or wherever compatible charging equipment is available.
There is an important limitation to understand before using this charger.
As a built-in safety feature, the charger will not operate if the existing battery has less than 9 volts of power.
If a battery has fallen below this threshold, connecting the charger will not initiate the normal charging cycle. A severely discharged or damaged battery may require appropriate battery service or replacement rather than continued attempts to charge it.
Always inspect the battery and follow the mobility device and battery manufacturer’s recommendations if charging does not begin.

When purchasing a replacement charger, compatibility should always come first. Confirm that your equipment uses a 24-volt AGM or Gel battery system, that the battery capacity is within the charger’s supported range, and that the device uses the appropriate female XLR charging connection.
Also verify the battery chemistry before setting the charger to AGM or Gel mode.
The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger is designed specifically around these requirements, making it a useful option for compatible mobility equipment.
The MK 24 Volt 8 Amp AGM/Gel Battery Charger from Universal Power Group (UPG) combines automatic charging, three-stage battery management, LED indicators, and multiple electrical protection features in a lightweight design.
For compatible Permobil and Quantum power chairs, it provides a convenient way to charge and maintain supported AGM and Gel battery systems through an XLR connection. The automatic transition to float mode helps maintain a full charge after the primary charging cycle, while the built-in protection systems add safeguards during operation.
Before use, always confirm your battery type, voltage, capacity, connector, and equipment compatibility. With the correct setup, this 24 Volt 8 Amp XLR charger can provide a practical charging solution for compatible mobility applications.
