MC5000 Cylindrical Battery Charger and Analyzer

A multifunctional, four-channel, AC-powered charger/discharger that provides comprehensive and truly convenient care for your batteries in cylindrical cases of all common types (NiMH, NiMH – Eneloop, NiCd, NiZn, Li-ion, Li-ion HV, LiFePO4, NiZn, RAM, LTO, Na-ion). The charger’s intelligent programs take care of your batteries, from initial formatting with a low current, through regular (fast) charging or discharging, cyclic charging/discharging, trickle charging, storage charging/discharging, all the way to capacity testing and revitalizing cells that have been in long-term use or, conversely, in long-term storage.

The M53000 allows you to simultaneously—and independently—charge or discharge up to four different batteries in cylindrical cases. A synchronous mode is also available for charging cells of the same type—simply enter the charging parameters for one channel, and the others will operate with the same settings.
Parameters of the ongoing process (charge/discharge current, state of charge, battery voltage) are continuously displayed for all channels on the LCD screen. A graphical display of the charge/discharge curve is also available. The built-in Bluetooth module allows you to configure and monitor the charging process in the SkyCharger mobile app (iOS and Android), as well as update the charger’s firmware.

A detailed manual describing the principles of proper battery charging and operation will make it easier for you to operate the charger and use your batteries.
