SkyRC MC5000 Universal Cell Type Battery Charger & Analyzer
£108.90
The SkyRC MC5000 is a professional-grade charger and analyzer for cylindrical cells, offering advanced control and precision across a wide range of battery chemistries. With four fully independent channels, it can charge, discharge, and analyze up to four batteries simultaneously, each with custom parameters. The large color display provides real-time readouts of voltage, current, capacity, resistance, and charge/discharge curves, making it ideal for testing, maintenance, and battery health evaluation.
A spring-loaded sliding contact adapts to many cylindrical sizes, making it compatible with everything from AAAA to 32700 cells. Supporting up to 10 battery types including Li-ion, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, NiZn, RAM, LTO, and Na-ion, it delivers adjustable charge currents up to 5A and discharge currents up to 2A. Multiple working modes—Charge, Discharge, Storage, Refresh, Break-in, and Cycle—offer full flexibility for every cell condition. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 allows you to monitor and control the charger, view live graphs, and update firmware via the SkyCharger mobile app.
It also includes a 65W PD USB-C output for powering compatible devices, a quiet active cooling system, and safety features such as reverse polarity, overload, and temperature protection.
