M9 Smart Charger Multitool – Fast Charging, Test & Analyse

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 M9 Multifunctional Smart Charger 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 M9 Smart Charger is one of the more advanced ToolkitRC Multitools for RC enthusiasts, featuring a whopping 600W output and all-in-one functionality. The unit includes a whole suite of fancy charging, discharging and balancing features for Lithium Based cell packs ranging from 1S to 8S, NiMh Based cell packs ranging from 1S to 20S, as well as Lead based cell packs ranging from 1S to 12S, and even features an internal resistance tester for 1S to 8S cell packs so you can really understand precisely what’s happening with the life and health of your batteries. The M9 Smart Charger Multitool also acts as a dual USB fast charger, watt meter, battery meter, signal source and signal tester. Using one easy portable tool, you can charge, discharge, test and analyse your high-power batteries and RC components.

With in-built speakers for voice alerts and a tilting display, the M9 Smart Charger brings convenience to your fingertips. Its 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. Along with the XT60 port for your batteries, dual USB fast charging is available for USB-A and USB-C devices. A speaker is also installed for the unit to read out each menu item and give voice alerts. You can use custom voice alerts and logo displays using the USB slots as well. The light and portable design is finished off with a beautiful full colour 2.4-inch IPS LCD Display that tilts up for a nice wide angle view. A push scroll wheel and exit button makes navigating the user interface easy and enjoyable. We are impressed with the M9 Smart Charger that seems to package the best convenient features of ToolkitRC toolsets before it into such a compact and effective little unit.
