ElectriFly

 PolyCharge4

For convenience with multiple LiPo packs, there’s the DC 
PolyCharge4. Each of its four independent outputs can 
charge a one-to-four cell Lithium-Polymer pack. It’s ideal if 
you don’t have the time for one-at-a-time charging – and 
don’t want the expense and hassle of multiple chargers. 
Each output can handle packs from 300 to 3000mAh. Set the 
capacity, and PolyCharge4 will automatically set the charge 
rate to get you started – and use light and sound cues to tell 
you when your pack is done. 

GPMM3015

Hobbico Pro Series Dual Peak Charger

The Dual Peak Charger can charge two batteries at 5A at 
the same time on completely separate circuits! It features

without overcharging and damaging it, and advanced pulse 
current that charges more efficiently, with less heating. A 
built-in cooling fan comes on automatically when needed. 
Auto-trickle at peak keeps packs topped off and two multi-
function LEDs offer easy monitoring of the charge progress. 
Includes time-out feature and 2-year warranty. Requires 12V 
DC power.
