Bantam e-Station 501DX PC Ready Charger

AtomicMods Product ID: 12778
Item is out of stock.
This intelligent charger will safely charge and discharge, Ni-Cd, and Ni-MH, Lead Acid and Gel Cell batteries as well as Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer. Like most high quality chargers it has banana jacks on the charge output so you can use any sort of cable you like. The 2x18 digital display conveys the charging and discharging status as well as setup information, and the 4 menu buttons give you a simple control interface. The included temperature probe can be used to automatically shut down the charging in the event of an overheated pack to increase the safety when charging Lithium batteries. You can also store the charging profile for your 10 most used packs for convenience. The charger even has reverse polarity detection on the power supply input and battery charging output to protect the charger and battery pack from these common mistakes. There is a USB interface for connecting to your PC with the optional Bantam EAC100 PC Interface Kit. The software allows you can graph the battery voltage, battery temperature, charge amperage, and milli amps delivered during the cycle as well as battery pack temperature with the included temperature probe. The software also allows you to save the graphs and compare them to other packs.
  • Requires:12 Volt Power Supply
  • Application Notes:If you use a small power supply, you will limit your charge rate. The charger does not create power but funnels what you give it in to your battery pack, so if you only have a 500 mA power supply, you cannot charge faster than 500 mA. In this example it would take 2 hours to charge a 1000 mAh battery pack. If you have a 1000 mA power supply, then you can charge the same pack in 1 hour. Since the maximum charge rate is 5 amps, you should purchase at least a 5 amp power supply so you have the ability to fully utilize your charger. If you use the coaxial plug for power input, the center pin is positive.
  • Team AtomicMods Comments:This is a great charger with lots of functionality and at a good price and I really like the PC interface. Like all chargers of this size, the charger case is one large heat sink and since discharging takes the battery current and burns it off in the form of heat the case will become quite warm during discharging. While this is normal I do recommend a using Pit Fan when discharging to keep the charger and the pack cool. Don't forget to grab some SuperFlex 18 wire and the appropriate plugs to make some charging cables with. - Rob
