ing and independently charge each cell to its optimum level. Charger includes two adapters
for charging 2s to 4s Cellpro packs having 5-pin node connectors.
Charges one 1s to 10s pack, or two 1s to 5s packs simultaneously. When two packs are con-

Up to 3.0C charge rate, the fastest in the industry.
Charges packs through node connectors with or without connecting main discharge wires to
charger. Compensates for discharge wire lengths up to six feet with 1mV accuracy.
Displays individual cell internal resistance to 0.1milliohm, an exclusive feature for estimating
pack quality and finding bad cells.
Backlit LCD display provides easy readability.
Bidirectional PC interface enables extensive charger setup using free Charge Control Soft-
ware. Configure custom presets, adjust speaker volume, set LCD contrast and control many
other settings.
