About Dual PowerLab 8x2
 Simple to operate: just connect Dual PowerLab 8x2 between a power source and a
pack, select a pack-specific preset and start charging, discharging, cycling or
monitoring. No jumpers, plugs or dials to set! During Auto Charge, Dual PowerLab
8x2 automatically determines pack capacity and sets optimal current, then
dynamically adjusts charge rate as needed. Alternatively, select manual charge rates
from 10mA to 40A.

 Supports both balanced (depending on chemistry) and non-balanced charging (with
certain safety limitations) of the following chemistries:
 LiPo (1s to 8s balanced, 1s to 2s unbalanced; maximum charge rate of 2.0A for
unbalanced charging).
 Li-Ion (1s to 8s balanced, 1s to 2s unbalanced; maximum charge rate of 2.0A for
unbalanced charging).
 A123©/LiFePO4 (1s to 8s balanced, 1s to 10s unbalanced; maximum charge
rate of 20A for unbalanced charging).
 LiMn (1s to 8s balanced, 1s to 2s unbalanced; maximum charge rate of 2.0A for
unbalanced charging).
 NiCd (1s to 21s; maximum charge rate of 20A).
 NiMH (1s to 21s; maximum charge rate of 20A).
 6V, 12V, 24V Lead Acid (Flooded, Gel, AGM, SLA).
 Holds up to 25 user configurable presets (User Presets), optimized for the different
chemistries, providing charging strategies for most common RC charging needs. Also
holds up to 50 Library Presets. When using the free Charge Control Software, the
number of custom presets is virtually unlimited and will grow over time to meet
industry needs. Replace and customize presets to match your battery inventory.
 During balanced charging, each cell is balanced independently, providing exceptional
charging safety and elevating RC packs to the safety level of cell phones. Typical
packs of up to 4Ah capacity charge in 40 minutes or less using charger’s 3C Auto
Current Mode.
 Latest technology provides the ultimate in safety—even charges packs having hidden
physical damage without danger of fire. A pack will not charge if individual cell
voltages don’t equal total pack voltage.
 Cell balancing to 78μV accuracy with a tolerance of 6mV and automatic over-charge
protection assure longest pack life. Automatic temperature monitoring prevents pack
over-charging at low ambient temperatures and charger damage at high ambient
temperatures. Cold weather settings adjustable per preset. 
 Selectable modes: charge only, discharge only, cycle (charge/discharge any number
of times) and monitor (no charge or discharge, just measure pack voltage).
 Selectable discharge: 

 Internal discharge 10mA to 10A, 95W max.
 Regenerative discharge 10mA to 40A, 1344W maximum when powering the
Dual PowerLab 8x2 from a Lead Acid battery. Regenerative discharge takes
most of that energy and puts it back into the input battery. For example, when
you discharge a LiPo pack for storage, you will be recharging your Lead Acid
input battery.
 Multifunction backlit display lets you select presets, replace default presets from a
library and shows charging data such as individual cell voltages, charge current,
