SKY RC T100 charger 2x50W

The SKY RC T100 2x50W dual-channel charger was designed to provide everything needed to charge two batteries simultaneously “all in one unit,” including a power supply, and with very simple operation. Its main advantage is its small, compact vertical enclosure that takes up minimal space on your workbench—about the size of your palm.

The T100 allows you to charge common battery types (NiCd, NiMH, Li-Po, Li-ion, Li-Fe, Li-HV, Pb); in addition, both channels are equipped with built-in four-channel balancers, which ensure very safe and convenient charging of lithium batteries.

It stands out from standard 50W chargers thanks to its truly intelligent software, which offers features previously found only in much higher-priced “machines,” yet is designed for practical users who purchase a charger to charge batteries, not to gaze at pretty pictures on the display of a fancy smartphone:

• a program for new types of “high-voltage” LiHV lithium batteries with a charging cut-off voltage of up to 4.35 V
• programs for charging maintenance-free AGM lead-acid batteries and charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures
• setting the cut-off voltage for charging and discharging lithium batteries (allows for gentler charging, which pilots prefer, or, conversely, aggressive overcharging, favored by “car enthusiasts”)
• Measurement of total voltage and individual cell voltages (for lithium batteries) even when not charging
• Measurement of internal resistance of the entire pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)

Overview of Basic Functions and Specifications

• AC Power Supply 100–240 V/50–60 Hz
• For charging 6–8 NiCd/NiMH cells, 2–4 Li-ion/Li-poly/Li-Fe/LiHV cells, or 6/12 V lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte and maintenance-free AGM
• Adjustable charging current (0.1 A – 5.0 A)
• Max. charging power 50 W per channel
• Charging termination via automatic delta-peak detection for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Lithium and Pb batteries are charged using the “constant current/constant voltage” method
• Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Adjustable final charging voltage for lithium batteries
• Three charging modes for lithium batteries—fast charging, charging with an emphasis on balancing, and trickle charging
• Three charging modes for lead-acid batteries—for standard lead-acid “car batteries,” for lead-acid AGM batteries (batteries with electrodes separated by a glass-fiber separator impregnated with electrolyte), and for charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures (-20°C to +5°C).
• Charging stops when the set time, delivered charge, or temperature limit is exceeded.
• Memory for 10 charging programs per channel.
• Measurement of total pack voltage and individual cell voltages (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of the total internal resistance of the pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Backlit LCD display with a simple and intuitive menu and real-time parameter display during charging
• A series of warning messages ensures safe operation—incorrect input voltage, incorrect connection, unsuitable battery or battery condition, incorrect output polarity, etc.
• Protection against reverse polarity and output short circuits.
• Compact plastic enclosure, small dimensions
• Built-in AC power supply.

The charger is equipped with XT60 output sockets and universal sockets for JST-XH service connectors on both channels, allowing you to directly connect battery power cables and JST-XH service connectors for 2-4S packs—if you use packs with XT60 and JST-XH connectors, you won’t need any charging cables or adapters at all.

Note: When charging lead-acid batteries, the charger uses a terminal voltage of 2.40 V/cell (or 2.46 V/cell in the AGM battery program and in the cold-charge program) —for this reason, it is suitable for charging conventional lead-acid batteries (car batteries) and gel batteries with a reversible valve. It is not suitable for charging gas-tight gel batteries, which must not be charged to more than 2.30 V/cell.

The charger set includes: T100 charger, power cord, and user manual.
