The Ultimate Charger: ELAN R X2

[neallewis]

Yesterday I picked up a new charger from MB Models, the Elangears ELAN R X2. It's an independent dual channel (2 in 1) charger, with built in power supply, so runs off 100-240V AC and 11-16vDC. I believe it's the most powerful AC powered dual charger available. The first channel (charger) is 10A/120W and the second channel is 15A/180W output. It has a 10A/12v DC power output to run external chargers/soldering iron/tyre warmers/tyre truers/pit lights, etc, and USB 5Vdc 1.5A output for mobile charging/mp3/ipad and pit lights.
It supports all major battery types: lipo, li-ion, life, nimh, nicad, pb and can also discharge at 7A.
The charger software features various charge, discharge storage programs, along with battery management and smart charge modes. It's not just a clone of the common 4 button chargers, far more advanced.
Really happy with is as all the other high spec dual charges I've looked at required external PSU and a huge clutter of wires and stuff on the pit table. This is super clean and tidy in a self contained unit.

Single channel and DC only units are also available, along with a nice range of accessories and leads: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...t/?q=Elangears
