M8P Multifunctional Smart Charger – 600W 20A

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 math just to keep your batteries in good shape. Instead, you can get awesome portable tools like the M8P 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 M8P Multitool Smart Charger is a direct upgrade from the ToolkitRC M8S Multifunctional Charger, noticeably improved with 50% more power of 600W 20A output, a new user-friendly interface, and all the same convenient features. The unit is a wonderful all-in-one toolkit that includes a balance charger, watt meter, measurer, signal source, drone charger, and signal tester. All these tools are essential to RC and high-power batteries for electronics projects. A whole suite of fancy charging, discharging, and balancing features are included 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 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.
