Protek R/C Prodigy 65 & 65 AC chargers

A Main Hobbies have announced two Protek R/C chargers, the Prodigy 65 and Prodigy 65 AC, the first items in a new line of chargers from ProTek R/C. The Prodigy 65 is a powerful multifunctional balance charger with a high performance microprocessor that delivers 50 watts of output power and produces a maximum charge current of 5.0 amps with an efficient cooling system, allowing it to efficiently operate at full power with little effort. Featuring an optimized user interface with a variety of functions that allow you to charge, discharge or cycle up to 15 NiCd or NiMH cells, as well as LiPo, Li-ion, and LiFe, up to 6S. The internal balancer will keep your lithium batteries safely balanced when charging in balance mode, while the fast charge mode will get your pack charged quickly and the storage charge mode will prepare your batteries for long-term storage. And where the Prodigy 65 is a great choice for those who already have a power supply, the built-in 5 amp power supply of Prodigy 65 AC provides all of that functionality with power straight from an electrical socket.
