iSDT K1 100W/250W 10A 2-6S AC/DC Dual Channel Smart Charger

The iSDT K1 100W/250W 10A 2-6S AC/DC Dual Channel Smart Charger is designed for charging rechargeable batteries used in RC cars, RC aircraft, FPV drones, helicopters, and other hobby electronics. Its dual-channel architecture allows two compatible battery packs to be charged independently, making it useful for enthusiasts who manage multiple batteries during practice sessions, competitions, and project development.

The charger supports both AC mains input and an external DC power source. In AC mode, its maximum charging power is 100W; with a suitable DC supply, it can deliver up to 250W per channel. Actual charging power depends on the selected input source, battery voltage, current settings, and operating conditions.

Features

• Dual-channel charging: Charge two compatible battery packs simultaneously through independent channels.

• Flexible AC/DC input: Use AC 100–240V mains power or a compatible DC source rated for 10–30V.

• High charging capacity: Provides up to 10A charging current per channel, with up to 250W per channel on DC input.

• Wide battery compatibility: Supports LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, LiHV, lead-acid, NiMH, and NiCd batteries within the specified cell-count limits.

• Color LCD: Monitor charging information and adjust settings through the charger's interface.

• Balance charging: Supports balancing for compatible multi-cell lithium battery packs.

• Adjustable digital power supply: Offers a power supply mode for suitable electronics and bench applications.

• Firmware upgrade support: Firmware can be updated by connecting the charger to a computer through its supported USB interface.

• Safety alerts: Supports abnormal battery-voltage and incorrect cell-count warnings.

• Active cooling: An integrated fan helps manage heat during operation.

Applications

• FPV racing and freestyle drone battery charging

• RC cars, trucks, boats, and other remote-controlled vehicles

• RC airplanes, helicopters, and gliders

• Charging compatible lithium battery packs for hobby projects

• Battery maintenance for electronics and robotics enthusiasts

• Bench power applications using the supported digital power supply mode

How to Use

1. Choose the power source: Connect the charger to AC mains power or a suitable 10–30V DC power supply. Use only one input source at a time.

2. Connect the battery: Attach the battery's main charging connector to the appropriate output and connect its balance lead when required.

3. Select the battery chemistry: Choose the correct battery type, such as LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, or LiHV.

4. Set the cell count: Confirm that the selected number of cells matches the actual battery pack.

5. Configure the charging current: Set a current appropriate for the battery manufacturer's specifications and capacity.

6. Review the settings: Check the voltage, battery type, cell count, and charging parameters before starting.

7. Monitor the process: Keep the charger and battery under supervision throughout charging.

8. Disconnect safely: Stop charging and disconnect the battery when the process is complete, following the instruction manual.

Important Notes

• The advertised 250W rating applies to DC operation and is the maximum power per channel, not a guarantee that every battery will charge at that power.

• The 100W AC rating is the charger's maximum charging power in AC mode; available power may be limited by operating conditions and channel configuration.

• A suitable external DC power supply is required for DC operation and is not necessarily included.

• Use the correct charging profile for the battery chemistry and cell count. Incorrect settings can damage batteries and create a fire hazard.

• Never charge damaged, swollen, leaking, or otherwise compromised batteries.

• Charge in a well-ventilated area on a heat-resistant, non-flammable surface, away from combustible materials.

• Do not leave charging batteries unattended.

• Confirm the actual package contents, AC power lead, and connector compatibility with the supplied product listing before ordering.
