Description
The SkyRC D260 is a versatile, high-performance dual-channel AC/DC smart balance charger designed to handle the rigorous demands of RC hobbyists and competitive racers. Featuring two independent circuits capable of delivering 130W of charging power per channel (260W total) at up to 14 Amps, the D260 lets you charge two different battery packs simultaneously across flexible AC (110–240V) or DC (11–18V) input sources.
Equipped with an intuitive five-button interface and a bright backlit LCD screen, the D260 supports a wide spectrum of battery chemistries including LiPo, Li-Ion, LiHV, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, and Lead-Acid (Pb), complete with specialized AGM and Cold modes. Beyond battery management, it functions as a dual-output DC power supply (5–25V) and features PC software connectivity (ChargeMaster) for real-time data graphing, cell monitoring, and firmware updates.
