Thunder Power Charger
I am charging with the Thunder Power TP 1010-C charger, I am using the Thunder Power TP 205-V balancer. The two units are connected with a "Data Link Cable"
Can somebody tell me what this does. Both units work whether connected or not. A usual with this electric stuff the instruction leaflets are inconprehensible. Many thanks for all and any replies Ed S

Re: Thunder Power Charger
I believe the data link cable is so you can monitor and log the charge and condition of each pack on your PC.

Re: Thunder Power Charger
One is the charger the other is the balancer they both can work separate or together. When charging a batt hook balancer to charger with the data link so the charger can read the cells, plug batt balance lead to balancer and plug batt to charger set your cell count and how many c to charge at and the rest is magic . I have had mine for 5 yrs with not a problem.

Re: Thunder Power Charger
The data link cable allows the charger to receive info from the balancer. ie. #of cells, voltages etc.
If something is not right the charger will shut down preventing overcharge and possible cell damage or fire. PS. you're right Ed, the manuals on this stuff are horrible! Mike Last edited by luv2flyrc; 04-22-2010 at 07:07 AM. |
