Optimized operating software

Turnigy  Mega  1000W  features  the  so-called AUTO  function  that  set  the  feeding  current 
during  the  process  of  charging  or  discharging.  Especially  for  Lithium  batteries,  it  can 
prevent  the  overcharging  which  may  lead  to  an  explosion  due  to  the  user's  fault.  It  can 
disconnect  the  circuit  automatically  and  alarm  once  detecting  any  malfunction.    All  the 
programs of this product were controlled through two way linkage and communication, to 
achieve the maximum safety and minimize the trouble. All the settings can be configured 
by users! 

Internal independent lithium battery balancer

Turnigy  Mega  1000W  employs  an  individual-cell-voltage  balancer.  It  isn’t  necessary  to 
connect an external balancer for balance charging.

Balancing individual cells battery  discharging

During the process of discharging, Turnigy Mega 1000W can monitor and balance each 
cell  of  the  battery  individually.  Error  message  will  be  indicated  and  the  process  will  be 
ended automatically  if  the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.

Special features

SPECIAL FEATURES

Adaptable to various type of lithium battery

Turnigy Mega 1000W is adaptable to various types of lithium batteries, such as Li-Ion, LiPo and 
the new LiFe series of batteries.

Fast and storage mode of lithium battery

Purposes  to  charge  Lithium  battery    varies,  fast   charge  reduce  the  duration  of  charging, 
whereas  store state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time 
and protect useful time of the battery.

Maximum safety

Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the 
Delta-peak  voltage  detection.  When  the  battery's  voltage  exceeds  the  threshold,  the  process 
will be terminated automatically.

Automatic charging current limit

You  can  set  up  the  upper  limit  of  the  charging  current  when  charging  your  NiCd  or  NiMH 
battery; it is useful for the NiMH battery of  low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging 
mode.

Capacity limit

The  charging  capacity  is  always  calculated  as  the  charging  current  multiplied  by  time.  If  the 
charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set 
the maximum value.
