SKY RC T200 charger 2x100W

The SKY RC T200 2x100W dual-channel charger was designed to provide everything needed to charge two batteries simultaneously “under one roof,” including a power supply, and to be easy to use. Unlike many competing devices, the T200 delivers the same power output whether powered by the AC outlet or a car battery, so you can be sure that charging is always just as fast. Its vertical design ensures that the charger takes up minimal space in your workshop.

The T200 allows you to charge and discharge common battery types (NiCd, NiMH, Li-poly, Li-ion, Li-Fe, Li-HV, Pb); in addition, both channels are equipped with built-in six-channel balancers, which ensure very safe and convenient charging of lithium batteries.

It stands out from standard 50–100W 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 look 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
• settings for charging and discharging cut-off voltages for lithium batteries (allows for gentler charging, favored by pilots, or, conversely, aggressive overcharging, preferred by “car enthusiasts”)
• Intelligent power distribution—you can either charge simultaneously on both channels at a maximum of 100 W per channel, or charge on just one channel at 200 W
• Programs for charging maintenance-free AGM lead-acid batteries and charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures
• Measurement of total voltage and individual cell voltages (for lithium batteries), even outside of charging/discharging
• Measurement of internal resistance of the entire pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)

Of course, both channels include a socket for a temperature sensor.

Overview of Basic Functions and Parameters

• Input supply voltage: 11–18 V DC
• Mains power supply: 100–240 V/50–60 Hz
• For charging and discharging 1–15 NiCd/NiMH cells, 1–6 Li-ion/Li-poly/Li-Fe/LiHV cells, or 2–20 V lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte and maintenance-free AGM
• Adjustable charging current (0.1 A – 12.0 A)
• Adjustable discharging current (0.1 A – 2.0 A)
• Max. charging power: 100 W per channel or 200 W when charging on a single channel
• Max. discharge power: 10 W
• Automatic charging and discharging mode for NiCd and NiMH batteries with adjustable current limit
• Charging termination via delta-peak detection for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Lithium and lead-acid batteries are charged using the “constant current/constant voltage” method
• Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Adjustable end-of-charge and end-of-discharge voltages for lithium and lead-acid batteries
• Repeated charge/discharge or discharge/charge cycles for NiCd and NiMH batteries, up to 5 cycles
• Three charging modes for lithium batteries—fast charging, charging with an emphasis on balancing, and storage charging/discharging
• 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, charge capacity, or temperature limit is exceeded.
• Memory for 10 charge/discharge 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)
• Socket for a temperature sensor
• Backlit LCD display with a simple and intuitive menu and real-time parameter display during charging/discharging
• 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.
• Fan for forced cooling.
• 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 2-6S packs—if you use packs with XT60 and JST-XH connectors, you won’t need any charging cables or adapters at all. To connect service connectors from other systems, you can use standard Sky RC or RC System adapters.

You can purchase a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of batteries being charged or discharged.

Note: When charging lead-acid batteries, the charger uses a cut-off 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), maintenance-free AGM batteries, and gel batteries with a reversible valve (VRLA). It is not suitable for charging gas-tight gel batteries, which must not be charged to more than 2.30 V per cell.

The charger set includes: T200 charger, power cord, and user manual.
