M7 Smart Charge Multitool – Charge, Test, & Analysis

As any avid RC enthusiast will know, Batteries can be quite tricky to deal with when operating them in more advanced ways than just single cells, and as you start using batteries with more powerful chemistry, you will find that maintaining such batteries becomes more and more difficult to get just right. Fortunately, whether you’re operating a small 2S powered drifting buggy or a high-power 6S drone, you don’t have to rely on simple guesswork and rigorous maths just to keep your batteries in good shape. Instead, you can get awesome portable tools like the M7 Smart Charge Multitool to do all of the hard work for you, keeping your batteries topped up, balanced when in multicell formats, and of course healthy so they don’t unexpectedly throw a tantrum or bite the hands that feed them.

The M7 Smart Charge Multitool is a direct upgrade from the ToolkitRC M6 Multifunctional Charger, noticeably improved with 33.3% more power of 200W output, a new user friendly interface, and all the same features in its portable and convenient size of 73x51x27mm. The M7 Smart Charge Multitool is built as the ultimate all-in-one toolkit for all things relating to RC and high-power batteries for Electronics projects. The unit includes a whole suite of fancy charging, discharging and balancing features for Lithium Based cell packs ranging from 1S to 6S, NiMh Based cell packs ranging from 1S to 16S, as well as Lead based cell packs ranging from 1S to 10S, and even features an internal resistance tester for 1S to 6S cell packs so you can really understand precisely what’s happening with the life and health of your batteries.

These charging features are of course complemented by an integrated Servo Tester, a Receiver Tester, a PWM, PPM and sBUS signal generation and analysis, as well as a direct PWR output, and this is all packaged in a neat, well-designed unit that is both light and portable, finished off with a beautiful full colour 2.0-inch IPS LCD Display with a push scroll wheel and exit button. This makes the ToolkitRC M7 Smart Charge Multitool an absolute pleasure to use, offering awesome benefits to both Makers as well as RC enthusiasts, and we’ve been quite impressed with just how many features ToolkitRC has managed to pack into such a compact and effective little unit.

 Typical Applications for the M7 Smart Charge Multitool:

The M7 Smart Charge Multitool is a fantastic tool for almost any Maker who likes dealing with batteries but is particularly useful for RC enthusiasts who love to push their equipment to the limits – while staying safe and keeping components healthy. This is due to the wide range of RC related features such as the servo tester, signal generators, integrated Measurement Tools, as well as the ability to charge, discharge and balance lithium cell packs as large as 6S, and all of these are quite vital if you really love to take your RC adventures to the extreme.

However, with that being said, because of the wide range of cool features that pertain to Lithium, NiMH and Lead based batteries, as well as the really cool signal generation and analysis features included, this 200W powered M7 Multitool Charger and its M6 predecessor are ready to offer benefits to Electronics Makers of all kinds, having quickly become a favourite in the DIYElectronics workshop and firmly securing a leading position amidst the many different Battery Chargers that we’ve tested and used over the years.
