The Onyx 245 charger is two chargers in one! Identical twin outputs make the 245 an excellent choice for models that use two battery packs or modelers who rotate through multiple batteries at home or at the track. A built-in balancer for each port optimizes charging of lithium packs, including LiPo and LiFe cells such as LiFeSource™ brand packs. It’s also compatible with NiCd and NiMH batteries. AC/DC fl exibility, plus the advanced LCD with backlight, simple menus and controls make it super-easy for anyone to use anytime, anywhere. Its tremendous fl exibility, small size and weight, yet high power give racers another advantage on race day! It is strongly recommended to read this manual completely before use! Damage resulting from misuse or modifi cation will void your warranty. WARNING!! Charging lithium-based rechargeable batteries poses a risk of FIRE!
