SKYRC S65 charger 65W/230V

Overview of basic functions and parameters

• Mains power supply 100-240 V/50-60 Hz
• For charging and discharging 6-8 NiCd/NiMH cells, 2-4 Li-ion/Li-poly/Li-Fe/LiHV cells or 6-12 V lead-acid batteries (conventional and AGM)
• Adjustable charging current (0.1 A - 6.0 A)
• Adjustable discharge current (0.1 A - 2.0 A)
• Max. power for charging 65 W, for discharging 10 W
• Automatic charge and discharge mode for NiCd, NiMH with adjustable current limit
• Charge termination with delta-peak automatic charging 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 end voltage for charging and discharging for lithium batteries
• Repeated cycling of charge/discharge or discharge/charge for NiCd and NiMH batteries, up to 5 cycles
• Three charging modes for lithium batteries - fast charging, balancer charging and storage charge/discharge. You can choose whether or not to charge using the balancer.
• Three charging modes for lead-acid batteries - for normal lead-acid "car batteries", for AGM lead-acid batteries (batteries with electrode
• separator made of glass fibre filled with electrolyte) and for charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures (-20°C to +5°C).
• Termination of charging when the set time, delivered charge or limit temperature is exceeded.
• Memory for 10 charge/discharge programs.
• Measurement of total set and individual cell voltage (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of total internal resistance of set and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of the total internal resistance of the set and individual cells (for lithium batteries) - at rest and during charging
• The charger is equipped with an XT60 output socket and a universal socket for JST-XH service connectors allowing direct connection of the battery power cables and JST-XH service connectors of the 2-6S kits - if you use kits with XT60 and JST-XH connectors, you do without charging cables and adapters. To connect service connectors from other systems, you can use standard Sky RC or RC System adapters, where you cut off the portion of the output connector with the contacts for channels 5 and 6.
• Socket for temperature sensor
• Two-line backlit LCD display with simple and clear menu and parameter display during charge/discharge
• A number of warning text messages contribute to safe operation - incorrect input voltage, incorrect wiring, unsuitable battery or battery condition, incorrect polarity at output
• Protection against over-polarity and short circuit at the output.
• Compact plastic case, small size
• Built-in fan for forced cooling
• Built-in power supply.

In the charger software you can choose whether or not to use the balancer when charging/discharging. If you choose to use the balancer and also connect the charged lithium kit via the service connector, you can monitor the voltage on each cell throughout the charge or discharge and the built-in balancer balances the voltage on each cell. The charger is equipped with a socket for JST-XH service connectors.

A temperature sensor can be purchased to measure the temperature of the batteries being charged/discharged.

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