Frequently Asked Questions - V-Charge 200 Duo VOLTCRAFT
What types of batteries can I charge with the V-Charge 200 Duo?
The charger supports LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, and Pb (lead-acid) batteries. It automatically detects the battery type based on your selection.
Can I charge two batteries simultaneously with different chemistries?
Yes, each channel is independent. You can charge a LiPo battery on channel 1 and a NiMH on channel 2 without issues.
What is the maximum charging current per channel?
The maximum charge current is 7.0 A per channel. However, the total power is limited to 100 W per channel (200 W total), so the current may be limited for higher cell counts.
Does the charger have a balance function?
Yes, it has an integrated balance function for LiPo, Li-ion, and LiFe batteries. The balance current is 200 mA per cell.
What is the input voltage requirement?
The charger requires an 11–18 V DC input, typically from a mains power supply or a car battery. Use a suitable power adapter with at least 200 W capacity.
