SKY RC S65 Neo charger 65W

The SKY RC S65neo 65W is a small, versatile, AC-powered charger that is easy to use for charging all types of rechargeable batteries at home. The S65neo allows you to charge and discharge common battery types (NiCd, NiMH, Li-poly, Li-ion, Li-Fe, LiHV, Pb); it also features a built-in four-channel balancer that ensures very safe and convenient charging of lithium batteries.

It stands out from standard 50–60W chargers thanks to its truly intelligent software, which offers features previously found only in “machines” in much higher price ranges:

• setting the cut-off voltage for charging and discharging lithium batteries (allows for gentler charging, preferred by pilots, or, conversely, aggressive overcharging, favored by car model enthusiasts)
• Setting the cut-off voltage for charging and discharging lead-acid batteries
• Measuring the total voltage and the voltage of individual cells (for lithium batteries) even outside of charging/discharging cycles
• Measuring the internal resistance of the entire pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Special program for charging lead-acid AGM batteries and charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures

Overview of Basic Functions and Parameters

• AC power supply: 100–240 V/50–60 Hz
• For charging and discharging 6–8 NiCd/NiMH cells, 2–4 Li-ion/Li-poly/Li-Fe/LiHV cells, or 6–12 V lead-acid batteries (conventional and AGM)
• Adjustable charging current: 0.1 A – 10.0 A (Pb: 0.8–10 A)
• Adjustable discharging current: 0.1 A – 2.0 A
• Max. power: 65 W for charging, 10 W for discharging
• Charging termination via automatic delta-peak detection for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Lithium and lead-acid batteries are charged using the “constant current/constant voltage” method
• Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Adjustable end-of-charge and end-of-discharge voltages for lithium and lead-acid batteriesand lead-acid
• Repeated charge/discharge or discharge/charge cycles for NiCd and NiMH batteries, up to 3 cycles
• Three charging modes for lithium batteries—fast charging (with or without a balancer), charging with a balancer, and storage charging/discharging
• Three charging modes for lead-acid batteries—for standard lead-acid “car batteries,” for lead-acid AGM batteries (batteries with electrodes separated by a glass-fiber separator impregnated with electrolyte), and for charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures (-20°C to +5°C).
• Charging termination when the set time, delivered charge, or temperature limit is exceeded (requires the purchase of a SkyRC temperature sensor).
• Measurement of total pack voltage and individual cell voltages (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of total internal resistance of the pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of the total internal resistance of the pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries) — both at rest and during charging
• DC power supply mode with adjustable voltage of 6–17 V and current of 0.5–9.0 A (max. 65 W)
• The XT60 power output connector and the universal JST-XH 2-4S balancer connector allow you to directly connect the battery being charged without the need for a charging cable or balancer adapter (if the pack is equipped with an XT60 power connector and a JST-XH service connector)
• Socket for a temperature sensor
• Backlit LCD display with a simple and intuitive menu and real-time parameter display during charging/discharging
• A series of warning messages ensures safe operation—incorrect input voltage, improper connection, unsuitable battery or battery condition, incorrect output polarity
• Protection against reverse polarity and output short circuits.
• Compact plastic enclosure, very small dimensions—fits right in the palm of your hand
• Built-in fan for forced cooling
• Built-in AC power supply.

You can purchase a temperature sensor separately to measure the temperature of batteries being charged or discharged.

Note: When charging lead-acid batteries, the charger allows you to set the cut-off voltage to 2.30–2.75 V per cell — making it suitable for charging conventional lead-acid batteries (car batteries) and gel batteries with a reversible valve, as well as gas-tight gel batteries, which must not be charged to more than 2.30 V per cell. For discharging, you can select a voltage of 1.8–2.0 V/cell.

The charger set includes: S65neo charger, power cord, and user manual.
