RadioLink CB86-Plus 156W DC 6A Charger

The RadioLink CB86-Plus (Part No: RLKA001008) is a high-precision, 8-port DC balance charger that stands out in the RC market for its unique "Independent Charging" architecture. Unlike traditional multi-port chargers that use a single power source shared across ports, the CB86-Plus features six independent power supply circuits, allowing it to charge each cell in a LiPo pack individually through the balance lead.

Key Features:

• 8-Port Automatic Cycling: Connect up to eight 1S–6S LiPo packs at once. The charger will automatically cycle through and fully charge each battery one after the other, making it ideal for overnight prep or long days at the field.
• Independent Balance Charging: Because it charges each cell independently at up to 6A, there is no need for traditional power leads—the charger does all the work through the balance port. This ensures an incredible 1mV (0.001V) precision, significantly better than the standard 0.01V found in most chargers.
• TFT Color Display: A large 2.8-inch screen provides real-time data for every individual cell, including voltage and internal resistance, visualized with clear graphical cues.
• Battery Repair Mode: Includes a specialized "Repair" function designed to safely revive over-discharged LiPo cells that have fallen below the standard 3.0V threshold.
• High Efficiency & Low Heat: Utilizing a "Push-Pull" circuit design, the charger achieves 97% efficiency, typically keeping operating temperatures below 35°C even during high-amp sessions.
• Multi-Chemistry Support: Compatible with standard LiPo (4.2V), Li-ion, and High Voltage LiPo (LiHv 4.35V).

Power Supply Tip:

The CB86-Plus is a DC-only charger, meaning it does not plug directly into a wall outlet. Pro-Tip: To utilize the full 6A charge rate across larger 6S packs, you will need a 12V DC power supply capable of at least 15A. If you're at the field, you can power it directly from a 12V car battery, but be mindful of your vehicle's voltage to avoid being stranded!

Important Connection Note: Always power on the CB86-Plus before connecting your batteries. The charger performs a self-diagnostic on startup to ensure the independent circuits are ready for the load.
