Description
The SkyRC e455 is a compact, economical, and user-friendly AC balance charger designed as the upgraded successor to the popular e450. Engineered to handle 2S to 4S LiPo packs and 6 to 8-cell NiMH batteries, the e455 replaces clunky manual slide switches with a simple, intuitive push-button interface to select your desired charge current (up to 4A).
Featuring a built-in balance port and an integrated 300mA cell balancer, the e455 ensures each individual cell is precisely equalized for a full 100% charge every time. Clear multi-status LED indicators provide instant visual feedback on current selection and charging progress. Operating directly from standard wall power (100–240V AC) and packaged with an XT60 charge cable, it is an ideal, hassle-free entry-level charger for everyday RC hobbyists.
