Description
The HTRC C240 DUO is a high-performance, dual-channel smart balance charger engineered to charge two different battery packs simultaneously. Featuring versatile dual power input (100–240V AC mains or 11–18V DC field power), it delivers a total of 150W power distribution in AC mode (CH1 + CH2 = 150W max) and a robust 120W per channel (240W total) when running on DC input, supporting up to 10A charge current per port.
Housed in a compact, safe plastic enclosure with a twin 2×16 LED display and a built-in smart cooling fan, the C240 supports a wide array of chemistries including LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, LiHV, NiCd, NiMH, Lead-Acid (Pb), and Smart Batteries. Packed with advanced features like internal resistance checking, terminal voltage control (TVC), battery meter telemetry, and individual cell balancing, it provides professional-grade power management for hobbyists and multi-battery setups.
