KAVAN C20 Duo small dual-channel charger is a smart AC/DC charger with very simple and intuitive operation. KAVAN C20 Duo is capable of charging popular battery types (NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, LiHV, ULiHV, Li-ion, LiFe, lead-acid), and is additionally equipped with built-in six-channel balancers to ensure safe charging of lithium batteries. The charger features a color LCD display and a programming knob and button for convenient and quick parameter setting, control and monitoring of the charging process.
In addition to the compact, palm-sized design and intuitive operation, the worthy features include:
- the program of new types of high-voltage LiHV batteries with a terminal voltage for charging up to 4.35V
- the possibility of synchronous operation of both channels to charge two identical batteries
- adjustable charging end voltage for lithium batteries (allows gentle charging, which pilots like, or brutal overcharging, which "car fanatics" like)
Overview of basic functions and parameters
- Mains power supply 100-240 V/50-60 Hz
- Power supply 11-18 V DC (XT60 socket)
- For charging 1-16 NiCd/NiMH cells, 1-6S Li-ion/Li-po/Li-Fe/LiHV or 2-24V lead-acid batteries
- Adjustable charging current (0.1-10.0 A) per channel (max. 100 W total with mains power, max. 2 x 100 W with car battery or powerful stabilized power supply)
- When mains power is connected, channels A and B can be allocated the available power (max. 100 W total) in a ratio of 100:0, 50:50, 0:100
- Finish charging with delta-peak automation for NiCd and NiMH batteries
- Lithium-acid and lead-acid batteries are charged using the "constant current/constant voltage" method
- Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
- Adjustable charging end voltage for lithium batteries
- The charging mode allows lithium batteries to be charged with or without a balancer.
- With mains power, the charger can also be used as a 17.5V/max 100W stabilized DC power source.
- Easy firmware update via micro USB port
- Backlit color LCD display with simple and clear menu and parameter display during charging
- Programming knob/button and button for easy and clear charger configuration and control, multilingual menu (including English)
- Various warning messages contribute to safe operation - incorrect input voltage, incorrect wiring, unsuitable battery or battery condition, incorrect output polarity, etc.
- Forced cooling fan.
- Compact plastic housing, small size
The charger is equipped with XT60 output sockets in both channels and universal sockets for JST-XH service connectors, which allows direct connection of battery cables and JST-XH service connectors from 2-6S kits - for kits with XT60 and JST-XH connectors, you can completely dispense with charging cables and adapters. Standard Sky RC adapters can be used to connect service connectors from other systems.
