Overview PowerCube is high performance charger for conditioning all today’s usuall cells used not only in aeromodellers area. You have available automatic programs for charging NiCd, NiMH cells and manual programs for Lithium and Lead based cells. This charger is not intended for beginners. Basic difference in philosophy is that PowerCube isn’t working with number of cells but voltage, current and other parameters. It’s expected from you as user, you know all detailes about cells you are going to work with. PowerCube is using advanced Dynamic Charging Prediction Model method (DCPM) to charge and discharge your cells fast, secure and efficient. This method is more than just Inflex Point or Delta Peak method. Charger also compares on-line data with data saved in processor and predicts behavior of conditioned cell. |
