SkyRC PC1500 1500W 12S/14S LiPo Charger

The SkyRC PC1500 is a dual-channel AC charger built for the large 12S and 14S packs used on agricultural and industrial drones. It balance-charges two packs at the same time, and its built-in CAN bus lets it talk to smart batteries as well as standard lithium packs with balance leads.

Key features

• Up to 1500 W on 220 V mains, the normal supply in India, with up to 25 A charge current (shared across both channels in slow mode).
• Charges 12S and 14S LiPo, and 12S LiHV.
• Three modes chosen with one button each: Fast, Charge and Storage, plus a synchronisation mode for paired packs.
• LCD shows charge time, battery percentage and every cell voltage in real time, with voltage and internal resistance meters.
• Conformal-coated circuit boards resist moisture, mildew and smoke corrosion in field use.
• Short-circuit, reverse-polarity and over-temperature protection.
