The
X-Caliber Mini Balancing Charger is great for new flyers that need to charge
Li-Po batteries, but don't want to spend a lot of money, or to suppliment
another charger that does not have balancing capability. The X-Caliber Mini
Charger features a fixed 800mah current setting, with 2 balance connector output
connectors. One connector is designed for 2-cell Li-Po battereis, and the other
is designed for 3-cell Li-Po batteries. The connector polarity is the same as
the X-Caliber line of Lithium Polymer batteries, so you simply plug your battery
directly into the charger, and it automatically starts charging.
The Red
LED "Power" indicator lets you know when power is applied to the charger, and
the Green LED "Charge" indicator lets you know when the unit is charging. At the
end of the charge cycle, the Green LED goes out to let you know the charging
cycle is complete. The output of the charger is fixed at 800ma of current at
4.20 volts per cell, so the charger is suitable for use with Li-Po batteries
that have a charge capacity of 800mah or greater.
Charging time will vary
depending on the size of battery used, for example, an 800mah battery pack will
take about 1 hour to charge. A 1600mah pack will take about 2 hours to charge,
and a 2400mah battery pack will take about 3 hours to charge.
The input
to the charger is a standard 5.5 x 2.1 mm coaxial plug, and the charger comes
with a 3 foot input power cable to connect the charger to a 12 volt power supply
or battery.
We also have a Universal Regulated 12 volt AC adapter
available to power the charger. This AC adapter plugs into any wall outlet and
can take any input voltage from 100 to 240 volts AC.
