This looks like a real nice charger as it does about everything! Is there a US version?
One for all – the new power charger cannot only charge all commercially available battery systems simultaneously, including LiPo batteries, it does very fast on four independent charging channels and operates in a way which protects the batteries. A newly developed microprocessor-controlled battery management saves battery data individually, compiles it in a database and transfers to a PC via a USB port. The data can be evaluated in detail with the optional “Charge Professional” PC software. You always know the state of all your batteries. If something new comes onto the battery market – no problem! Thanks to the Flash memory technology, the charging device can fulfill future needs!
