The new Protek R/C Prodigy 610 Duo features two independent channels, each capable of supplying 200W and monitoring the battery’s condition with its own internal balance port and temperature sensor port so you can charge your batteries quickly and safely. A 5V, 1000mA USB port allows you to charge any USB device conveniently at your work space, while the PC Link port gives you the option to monitor and log overall pack voltage, temperature, current and total capacity. Additionally, an intuitive touch-sensitive navigation panel will allow you to easily make your way through the charger menus without worrying about buttons malfunctioning due to debris, and the blue backlit LCD display with white characters offers clear visibility in any environment. The Prodigy 610 differs in that it only features one channel capable of supplying 200W, which apart from the form of the device itself, is essentially the same charger.
