Robot MarketPlace - Hobbico Quick Field Charger Mk II

Have a variety of flight line charging options--with one handy unit! Hobbico's Quick Field Charger MkII features two ports with completely independent circuitry. That means you can charge one pack at a time, or two at once. You can recharge transmitter or receiver NiCd or NiMH packs, single cell glow ignitors, even the lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries that power park flyers...on EITHER side. Plus, it's super-easy to use, and comes with lots of safety features. You've never seen a field charger as valuable and versatile as the Quick Field Charger MkII!

EACH port offers these great benefits!
-Ability to handle 1-8 cell NiCd or NiMH radio batteries and 1-3 cell Li-Ion or LiPo park flyer batteries.
-0.2A (200mA) to 2.0A of adjustable, linear charge current (1A max. for Li-Ion/LiPo).
-0, 50mA, 85mA and 100mA trickle charge current for NiCd and NiMH packs.
-Tri-color LEDs and sound cues for ease of set-up and operation.
-Built-in jacks for external battery voltage monitoring with a voltmeter.
-Simple push-button start-up.
-"Peak detection" charging for NiCd and NiMH packs.
-"Constant current/constant voltage" charging for Li-Ion/LiPo batteries.
-Visual and audible error messages that indicate reverse polarity and poor output connections.
-Can be mounted on a field box, or used as a stand-alone unit with the included rear enclosure.

If you are builders starting out or a pro who needs to charge multiple robots this is the charger for you. this charger can handle two robots at the same time great when you have multiple robots in one tournament. With it going as low as 200 milliamps than all the way up to 2 amps it's extremely flexible. the drawbacks are it has no discharge mode and no balancing features for Lithium polymer batteries.
