Cover All Of Your Battery Needs With Thunder Power RC’s TP820CD Dual Port Charger/Discharger/Cycler/Balancer System

Thunder Power RC introduces the convenient, capable and powerful TP820CD Dual Port 20 Amp and 800 Watt multi-function charger, discharger, cycler and balancer system for LiPo, LiIon, LiFe, NiCd, NiMH, and Pb batteries.

The all-new TP820CD is the first ever dual port and the most anticipated, most powerful and most advanced multichemistry charger, discharger, cycler and balancer system from Thunder Power RC yet! With up to 800 watts of total charging power, nearly 4-times that of the ever-popular TP1010C, the TP820CD is equipped with two ports that function completely independently to charge, discharge and cycle a wide variety of 1-8S LiPo, LiIon and LiFe (A123) batteries, as well as 1-24 cell NiCd and NiMH along with 6-30V Pb (lead-acid) batteries. The built-in 2-8S LiPo/LiIon/LiFe (A123) cell balancers, one for each port, and included balance connector adapter boards are readily compatible with all Thunder Power balance connectors and the JST-XH balance connectors found on many other batteries.

The dual port TP820CD offers the convenience and flexibility of two separate chargers in a single yet incredibly compact case as a result of its advanced power conversion technology and all-new Thunder Power RC exclusive design. Each port is capable of charging at rates up to 20 amps, even simultaneously depending on input power and charge settings, offering the ability to charge many of the latest-generation LiPo batteries at ultra-fast rates up to 6C and beyond. This means the TP820CD is well-equipped to quickly charge batteries up to 8S on each port, as well as ‘split’ batteries equipped with interconnect leads up to 16S by using both ports simultaneously.

Popular examples of the incredible charging capabilities of the TP820CD are the ability to charge two 5S 5000mAh batteries, one on each port simultaneously at rates up to 4C, or two 6S 5000mAh batteries at rates more than 3C, to have a complete 10S or 12S 5000mAh battery setup charged in as little as 15 minutes or less time! That’s even faster than single port chargers rated at higher current and wattage output, without the need for cumbersome parallel charging and an even more powerful power supply, and without giving up the added convenience and flexibility that independent dual port charge, discharge and cycling functionality offers. And because each port functions independently you can even mix and match charge, discharge or cycling duties of a LiPo motor power battery and a NiMH transmitter battery, a NiCd receiver battery and a lead-acid field box battery or just about any other combination you might have.

Additional features include built-in data logging and viewing on the large, class-leading and easy-to-read 48-character blue backlit LCD screen, internal resistance measurement and an advanced Storage Mode function to automatically charge or discharge LiPo/ LiIon/LiFe (A123) batteries as needed. Other great features also include dual computer-controlled cooling fans and temperature protection, an attractive and extremely durable aluminum case, plus the ability to install future firmware updates available for free download from www.ThunderPowerRC.com using a standard mini USB cable. Best of all these incredible features are all available at a value that’s hard to beat while being fully supported and backed by Thunder Power RC’s industry-leading 2-year warranty.

Adaptable Balancing

The built-in LiPo/LiIon/LiFe (A123) cell balancers and included balance connector adapter boards are readily compatible with all 2-8S Thunder Power balance connectors and the JST-XH balance connectors found on many other batteries.

Capable Connections

Separate main power and balancer connectors allow for simultaneous charging and balancing at charge rates up to 20 amps on each port while the programming connector can be used with a standard mini USB cable to install firmware updates.

Maximized Protection

The dual ports function completely independently, and with adjustable output power distribution, input power current limiting and low voltage cutoff you can maximize performance of each while also protecting the charger and power supply.
