Mascot equivalent to the CTEK XC 0.8
If you're specifying the CTEK XC 0.8 - typically bought from RS Components or Farnell - this is the Pulsar-stocked Mascot part to consider instead.
CTEK
XC 0.8
- • Typically distributed via RS Components / Farnell
- • Distributor lead times vary
- • Limited UK-based engineering support
Mascot 2543 - 12v Battery Charger Sla 2 2 Amp Switch Mode
Norwegian-engineered. Stocked in Wokingham. Supported by a UK engineering team.
- UK stock from Wokingham - typically dispatched same day
- 1-year warranty, full EMC / safety documentation
- Free evaluation sample available for qualified engineers
- PO terms available for OEM customers
Side-by-side: Mascot 2543 vs CTEK XC 0.8
Engineering specs compared head-to-head. Mascot column is pulled live from the Pulsar catalogue; CTEK column is taken from the manufacturer's published datasheet or AI-estimated where the datasheet wasn't accessible. Always verify against the current manufacturer datasheet before design-in.
| Spec | Mascot (live) | CTEK XC 0.8(estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 12V | 12 V DC |
| Charge Current | 2.2A | 0.8 A |
| Charge Current Range | 1.1A to 3A | - |
| Chemistry | Lead Acid | Lead-acid (WET, MF, Gel, AGM, Ca/Ca) |
| Battery Charger Type | Desktop | 6-step, fully automatic charging cycle |
| Input Voltage Multi | - | 220–240 V AC |
| Model | 2541LA | CTEK XC 0.8 |
Why switch from RS / Farnell?
Direct from the UK partner. Pulsar Developments is Mascot's UK arm - you're buying from the manufacturer's local team, not a generalist distributor.
Real engineering help. Spec questions, custom labels, custom cable assemblies and special voltages - answered by a UK engineer, usually same day.
Better on volume. Distributor margins fall away on production quantities; ask us for an OEM quote.
Traceability. Every unit ships with the certifications you need for medical, rail, marine and industrial design-in.
