New from AMain Hobbies brand EcoPower is this Electron Mini Intelligent Charger. Launching together with 10 new EcoPower batteries that are directly compatible with the charger, the EcoPower Electron Mini Intelligent Charger makes charging easier than ever. When combined with an EcoPower Intelligent Battery, the Electron Mini will immediately recognise the battery type, whether 2S, 3S, or 4S, and will automatically begin charging using the ideal settings. The Intelligent symbol lights up when an ECP Intelligent Battery is connected, making it easy to identify auto charging is underway and then the charging progress bar shows how far the battery is from full charge. Charging is made extremely simple with just two buttons to choose from, Charge or Storage, and it can charge LiPo, LiHV, and LiFe battery chemistries, but not NiMh batteries. NiMh charging is not compatible with LiPo batteries, so the ECP-1007 is safer because it eliminates the possibility of charging in the wrong mode and takes the guess work out of charging for those who are new to the RC hobby. The Electron Mini Charger includes a high power 65W USB-C power supply, which is necessary to achieve the maximum 5A output on batteries up to 4S. The brand new EcoPower Intelligent Battery lineup provides a power option for a vast array of RC cars, trucks, and boats from 2S to 4S.
