The Onyx 235 charger is great for a huge range of charging and balancing needs for electric on-road, off-road, boat and radio applications! Charge currents up to 8 amps and output voltages for charging up to 10-cell NiMH or 4S LiPo packs make it equally as useful for 1/32 scale micros as large as 1/8 scale electrics, plus nitro receiver packs and transmitter batteries. A built-in balancer optimizes charging of lithium packs, including LiFe cells such as LiFeSource™ brand packs. A built-in jack is perfect for charging radio batteries. A USB jack allows for charging of music players, cell phones, etc. while at the track. AC/DC fl exibility with detachable input cords, reversed backlit LCD, simple controls and menus make it super- easy to use anytime, indoors or out.
