Fully programmable charger AND discharger for NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion, Li-Poly and Lead Acid RC model Battery Packs with integrated balance connectors for LiPo packs.

Powered from 11V - 18V (5A) DC Input (Car Battery, Bench Top Power Supply etc.) making it an ideal mobile charger for all applications.

This charger is also very small and light (only 260g), making it very easy to travel with.

Comes complete with charge leads to fit JR/Futaba, BEC, Deans, Tamiya, Glow Starter, and crocodile clips for connection to LIpo power packs etc. Also includes a Li-Po Balance Lead adapter for 2 - 6 cell lipo batteries

NiCd/NiMH - 1 - 15 Cells
Li-Ion, Li-Poly, LiFe - 1 - 6 Cells
Lead Acid - 1 - 10 Cells

The Overlander RC-6S is an amazing charger, capable of satisfying almost all you RC battery charge and discharge needs.

The integrated balancer connections save the need to buy a seperate balancer and the included leads give you the ability to connect to most battery types.

You can also change many of the charge parameters to fit your own needs which is a fantastic feature but which needs to be viewed with caution as it is quite possible to configure the charger incorrectly.

The only real down side to a charger like this is the complexity of setting it up, unfortunately you can't have this level of control and wealth of features without making it a little complicated to use.

So make sure you read the instruction thoroughly and ensure you fully understand the settings before hitting the GO button!

Customer Reviews of Overlander RC-6S Programmable Intelligent RC Balance Charger and Discharger

  First class charger  Have just bought a second one of these excellent chargers as a back-up. Using my car emergency start kit as the 12v supply means I can charge anywhere; not to mention the charge-discharge programs to revive old batteries.\n  Mike Carr

  Does what it says on the tin  Just had this charger a couple of weeks, used for all types of rechargable batteries and had no problems. Read the manual.\n  Andy

  Ideal at home and on site  I have owned this since Jan 10 and I have been using it to charge NiMh 6v batteries, 3s Lipo's, Pb and Nicad. I can say that has not let me down, and it is very user friendly. I use it for charging and balancing batteries for my model aircraft. A few lads at the club have also bought them since.\n  Neil
