Hi @Francesco Marzulli,

almost every Victron MultiPlus Inverter/Charger will charge a 48V battery bank. Otherwise I can only think of the Victron Skylla TG series, which has a 48V model as well.

and just as an example out of many other MultiPlus Inverter/Chargers: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-MultiPlus-inverter-charger--800VA-5kVA-EN-.pdf

Not that I'm aware of, sorry.

It doesn't need to be a Quattro. Depending on with many amps you want to charge your battery bank, it can be a smaller unit. Please see the full product range of MultiPlusses and Quattros: https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers

No sorry. The Skylla-TG 48/50 and 48/25 are the only 48V AC-charger from Victron.
