DuraTrax Onyx 235 AC/DC LiPo/NiMH Battery Balance Charger (4S/8A/50W)

This is the DuraTrax Onyx 235 AC/DC LiPo/NiMH Battery Balance Charger. With charge rates of 0.1-8A, it's the right choice for nitro and electric cars and boats, as well as transmitter and receiver packs. It peak charges up to 10 NiCd or NiMH cells, balances and charges up to 4 lithium cells (including LiFeSource LiFe packs) and includes adapters for the five most common battery connectors. In addition to radio battery and balancing jacks, the Onyx 235 also includes a USB jack for charging cell phones, music players and other accessories at the track, plus a mini USB jack for downloading firmware. Detachable AC and DC power cords, a backlit LCD visible under all lighting conditions and a 5-year manufacturer warranty round out its impressive performance options and protection.

Features:

• Balances and charges up to 4 LiPo, LiIon and LiFe cells — and peak charges up to 10 cell NiCd and NiMH cells.
• Charges all packs at up to 8A — and lithium packs at up to 4C!
• Includes the 5 output adapters drivers use most: standard, Traxxas® and Star Plug* connectors, plus JST XH and Thunder Power™ 6S balancing boards.
• Detachable AC and DC cords reduce tabletop clutter, but leave power options open.
• Balances lithium cells with +/- 5mV accuracy — maximizes the voltage charge of each cell and simultaneously conditions them for longer life and solid performance.
• Features push buttons and audible cues for simple setup — and 10 battery memories for instant recall and customized results.
• Protects packs with an automatic safety timer — and itself with reverse polarity and current overload circuitry.
• Built-in fan kicks in automatically, to keep heat down and performance high.
