SKY RC S100neo charger

The small SKY RC S100neo 200W charger was designed to provide everything you need for charging, including a powerful power supply, with easy operation. The S100neo allows you to charge and discharge common types of cells (NiCd, NiMH, Li-poly, Li-ion, Li-Fe, Li-HV, Pb), and is equipped with a built-in powerful six-channel balancer (1 A/cell), which ensures very safe and comfortable charging of lithium batteries. It can also operate in regulated power supply mode with an output voltage adjustable in the range of 2-30 V and a current limit of 0.1-12 A.

The intelligent software offers common functions and is designed for practical users who purchase the charger to charge batteries:

• program for new types of "high-voltage" lithium batteries LiHV with a final charging voltage of up to 4.35 V
• setting the final voltage for charging and discharging for lithium batteries (allows gentler charging, which pilots like, or, conversely, overcharging, which "car enthusiasts" love - max. 4.22V for LiPo, 4.12V for Li-ion, 3.67V for LiFe, 4.37V for LiHV with current firmware)
• programs for charging maintenance-free lead-acid AGM batteries and charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures
• measuring the total voltage and the voltage of individual cells (for lithium batteries) even outside of charging/discharging - and even without the need for power: the S100neo can function as a standalone tester, powered by the battery under test
• measuring the internal resistance of the entire set and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• special program for starting DC motors (for a selected time at set voltage and current)
• There is a socket for a temperature sensor for safe charging of NiMH batteries.

Overview of basic functions and parameters

• Input supply voltage 6–30 V DC (to fully utilize the charger's power, the power supply should provide a voltage of at least 24 V) when powered from a battery or a stabilized mains power supply
• Mains power supply 100-240 V/50-60 Hz
• For charging and discharging 1-15 NiCd/NiMH cells, 1-6 Li-ion/Li-poly/Li-Fe/LiHV cells or 6/12/24 V lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte and maintenance-free AGM
• Adjustable charging current 0.1–12.0 A
• Adjustable discharge current (0.1-2.0 A)
• Max. charging power 200 W when powered by an external power supply or car battery or 100 W when powered by the built-in power supply
• Max. power for discharging 5 W
• End of charging using automatic delta-peak for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Lithium and Pb batteries are charged using the "constant current/constant voltage" method
• Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Adjustable end voltage for charging and discharging for lithium batteries
• Repeated cyclic operation of charge/discharge or discharge/charge for NiCd and NiMH batteries, up to 3 cycles
• Three charging modes for lithium batteries - normal charging, balancing charging and storage charging/discharging
• Three charging modes for lead-acid batteries – for normal lead-acid “car batteries”, for lead-acid AGM batteries (batteries with electrodes separated by a separator made of glass fibers impregnated with electrolyte) and for charging lead-acid batteries at low temperatures (-20 °C to +5 °C).
• Charging stops when the set time, temperature (for NiMH/NiCd) or the supplied charge is exceeded
• Measurement of total voltage of the pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of the total internal resistance of the pack and individual cells (for lithium batteries) - S100neo can also function as a standalone tester powered by the battery under test
• Stabilized power supply mode with adjustable voltage and current limitation 2–30 V/0.1–12 A, max. 100W when powered from mains/max. 200W when powered from an external source
• Running-in mode for DC motors for optimal matching of the carbon brushes and commutator (the motor runs for a selected time at the set voltage and current)
• USB-C port for updating charger firmware
• Temperature sensor socket
• Backlit LCD display with simple and clear menu and display of parameters during charging/discharging
• A number of warning text messages contribute to safe operation - incorrect input voltage, incorrect connection, unsuitable battery or its condition, incorrect output polarity, etc.
• Protection against polarity reversal and short circuit at the output.
• Fan for forced cooling.
• Compact plastic box, small dimensions

The charger is equipped with an XT60 output socket and a universal socket for JST-XH service connectors, allowing you to directly connect the battery power cables and JST-XH service connectors of 2-6S kits - if you use kits with XT60 and JST-XH connectors, you can do without charging cables and adapters. To connect the service connectors of other systems, you can use standard Sky RC or RC System adapters.

Note: When charging lead-acid batteries, the charger uses a final voltage of 2.40 V/cell (or 2.46 V/cell in the AGM battery program and in the cold charging program) - for this reason it is suitable for charging classic lead-acid batteries (car batteries) and gel batteries with a reversible valve. It is not suitable for charging gas-tight gel batteries, which must not be charged to more than 2.30 V/cell.

The charger set includes: S100neo charger, power cable, instructions.
