Description
Model LC10S15ADC-MC, for use with LiPo, Li-Ion, A123, NiCd, NiMH, and Pb battery packs
10s Multi-Chemistry, 15 Amp, 600W model for automatic and manual charging with available high-power
balancing, overcharge protection, and automatic charge/discharge to storage (for Li batteries)
Features
Charges Lithium Polymer, Lithium Ion, A123, NiCd, NiMH, and Pb packs. Charges any brand of
pack.
Supports high-power balance charging of Li or A123 battery packs. Balance charges one 1s to 10s
pack, or two 1s to 5s LiPo packs simultaneously. When two packs are connected, the balance
connections and pack main discharge wires are wired in series by the charger.
Equipped with Cellpro brand (JST PA series times two, 6 position) balance connectors which enable
the charger to monitor and independently charge each cell to its optimum level (balance charge
operation).
Accepts Cellpro 10s Adapters for plug-and-play compatibility. Cellpro 10s Adapters support from 2s
to 6s battery packs (all brands). For more information on REVO adapters, visit
Backward-compatibility with older Cellpro 4s adapters is assured using the available 6-pin to 5-pin
adapter(s) (REVO PN: CP10S-5S/4S-ADP-US) for charging 2s to 4s Cellpro packs having 5-pin
balance connectors.
Also supports customer-selectable, XH mode. JST XH/EH balance connectors and wiring are
growing to be the dominant scheme in the industry. Switching to XH mode, the CP10XP can support
existing XH style adapters you may already own. Splice in REVO PN: CPBP6P-10-US battery
pigtails to the wires on existing adapters and you are good to go!
Supports non-balanced charge of Li (up to 2s), Ni (up to 28 cells), Pb (up to 24V), A123 (up to 12s).
Accepts 10-32 VDC input.
Up to 15A max charge current.
Maximum 25A input current
720W max continuous input and 605W max continuous output at 30V DC input. Charger will achieve
rated output to a 10s LiPo using 30V DC input. Increasing input voltage beyond 30V does increase
power output, but only if the charger’s output voltage exceeds 42V; e.g., when charging 12s non-
balanced A123 packs. However, 32V DC input is a maximum rating. It is recommended to utilize
input voltage slightly below the absolute maximum.
Supports AUTO rate charging (1.0C, 2.0C, and 3.0C charge rate) using Advanced Fuel Gauging
technology, or manual set currents of 0.10A – 15A in 0.10A increments.
Industry’s largest 1A proportional integrated balancers
Power-balance-charge packs through balance connectors in tandem with the main discharge wires of
the battery pack(s). Unit does not support balance-connector only charging.
Compensates for balance wire lengths up to six feet with 1mV accuracy.
Displays individual cell internal resistance to 0.1milliohm, for estimating pack quality, health, and
performance.
Storage Preset available to charge or discharge Li batteries to appropriate per-cell storage levels; 3.8v
(LiPo), 3.0v (A123).
