HTRC Dual 10A RC Battery Charger with Balance, Discharge, and Large Screen

Choosing a charger for several kinds of RC batteries calls for more than a matching connector. The HTRC dual charger supports multiple battery chemistries and offers two separate channels, so you can charge two different batteries at once while selecting the appropriate settings for each.

Its large screen, selectable operating modes, and saved battery profiles make it practical for routine charging at home or at the field. Use the correct battery type and keep charging within an adult’s view, as directed by the manufacturer.

Requirements

Select the battery’s correct chemistry and settings before charging. The charger supports two channels, but each channel is intended for one battery at a time, do not charge two different batteries on the same channel simultaneously. Use either the AC input or the DC input, not both together. Compatible battery connections include XT60 and EC5, along with the listed AC and DC connector options.

Everyday use

For an RC session, you can set one battery on each channel and choose the matching charge or balance-charge mode. The charger also provides discharge and storage modes, plus cycling and battery-meter functions. During charging or discharging, its AUTO function can identify the cell count. When a battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically. The display lets you select modes and adjust voltage and current, while memory can store settings for up to 20 battery profiles for later selection.

The included adapter cables help connect supported battery setups, and the separate balance extension cords are useful when working with balance leads. Buyers praise the charger’s versatility and charging function, while feedback on balancing is mixed. Some buyers also raise fire-safety concerns. Follow the battery maker’s charging guidance, select the correct chemistry, and keep the process in an adult’s visual range.

Questions before you buy

Can it charge two batteries at the same time? Yes. Its two channels can charge two different batteries simultaneously, with one battery per channel.

Which battery types does it support? It supports LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, and LiFe packs from 1S to 6S, NiCD and NiMH from 1S to 15S, Pb batteries from 2V to 20V, and Smart batteries in types I, II, and III. Choose the matching battery type before charging.

Can I use AC and DC input together? No. Connect the charger to AC or DC power, but do not use both input cables at the same time.

Buying verdict

The HTRC is suited to RC hobbyists who work with different battery chemistries and want charging, balancing, storage, and discharge modes in one dual-channel unit. Its broad battery support, adjustable settings, large screen, and saved profiles make it a flexible fit for maintaining batteries used in RC cars, aircraft, and drones.
