Pulsar-stocked equivalent

Mascot 2240 - 8 Cell Battery Charger Lifepo4 0 56 Amp

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
Engineering note: For 8s LiFePO4 (~25.6V nominal). Mascot 2240 is the compact OEM choice; Victron suits marine retrofit.

Side-by-side: Mascot 2240 vs Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/8

Engineering specs compared head-to-head. Mascot column is pulled live from the Pulsar catalogue; Victron 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.

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.
