Charger HTRC N8

Order the HTRC N8 device - professional care for your NiMH and NiCd batteries

For owners of radio-controlled models with nickel and lead batteries, we present charger HTRC N8. This specialized station is designed for NiMH, NiCd and lead-acid batteries. It offers complete control over the charging and maintenance of these types of batteries. You will be able to properly charge, discharge and recharge your batteries. This will extend their life and improve performance. This is an indispensable tool for car enthusiasts, aircraft modellers and boat owners.

Charger HTRC N8 is an expert in the world of nickel batteries. Unlike LiPo, NiMH and NiCd batteries have their own characteristics. They require the correct charging algorithm and periodic maintenance. This device is equipped with battery cycling and training functions. You can eliminate the memory effect and restore capacity. This is a smart investment in the long life of your land and water transport energy resources.

Five main advantages of the device

• Specialization in NiMH, NiCd and Pb batteries. Optimized algorithms for safe and efficient charging. Proper care will extend the life of these batteries.

• Cycling function (Charge-Discharge-Cycle). Allows you to train and restore battery capacity. Helps combat the memory effect of NiCd and NiMH.

• Possibility of charging current up to 8A. Suitable for fast charging of large capacity batteries. This is important for powerful models of cars, boats and airplanes.

• Clear display and simple controls. Displays voltage, current, capacitance and other parameters. A clear interface for fine-tuning the process.

• Compact size and reliability. Doesn't take up much space in the workshop. Durable design for long-term use.

Operating principle and technical details

Charger HTRC N8 operates on the principle of an intelligent current source. For NiMH and NiCd batteries, a charging algorithm is used to determine the voltage delta (-ΔV). The device supplies constant current and continuously measures the voltage on the battery. When the battery is fully charged, its voltage begins to drop slightly. The device detects this drop (delta) and automatically stops charging. This prevents overcharging and damage to the battery.

Additional important feature - cycling. The device first fully charges the battery, then completely discharges it. This cycle can be repeated several times. This helps to "break" the crystals inside old NiCd batteries. In this way, their original capacity is restored. HTRC N8 does all this automatically according to the specified parameters.

Specific functionality and technical characteristics:

• Battery types: NiMH, NiCd, Lead-acid (Pb, SLA).

• Number of cells (for NiMH/NiCd): Typically 1-15 cells (depending on the model).

• Voltage for Pb: 2V, 6V, 12V (for lead batteries).

• Maximum charging current: Up to 8.0 A.

• Discharge current: Typically 1-2A (for cycling function).

• Input power: External DC power supply (for example, 12V).

• Functions: Charge, discharge, cycling (Charge-Discharge), fast charging, training.

• Determination of end of charge: By voltage delta (-ΔV) for NiMH/NiCd, by voltage for Pb.

• Display: LCD screen with backlight.

• Connectors: Output crocodiles or special connectors for model batteries.

• Purpose: Maintenance of batteries for radio-controlled cars, airplanes, helicopters, boats.

This charger is an ideal choice for modelers working with NiMH equipment. It is suitable for lovers of car models, ship models and aircraft models.
