Skyrc D100NEO - User Manual

The SkyRC D100neo is an AC/DC multi-function smart charger, an enhanced version of the D100, designed for various RC batteries. It features dual independent ports and can operate as a dual-output digital power supply.

Function Description:

The D100neo is primarily a smart charger for a wide range of RC batteries, including LiPo, Lilon, LiFe, LiHV, NiMH, NiCd, and Pb (Lead-Acid) types. It offers various working modes tailored to each battery chemistry, such as Balance CHG, Charge, Discharge, and Storage for Lithium batteries; Normal, Discharge, Re-Peak, CYCLE_D_C, and CYCLE_C_D for NiMH/NiCd batteries; and Charge, AGM Charge, Cold Charge, and Discharge for Pb batteries.

Beyond its charging capabilities, the D100neo can function as a dual-output digital power supply, providing adjustable voltage (2V-27V) and current (0.2A-10A) per output. It also includes a 20W USB Type-C PD 3.0 charging port, enabling rapid charging for smartphones, tablets, and compatible laptops like the 2020 MacBook Air.

The device can be connected to a PC or Mac via a USB Type-C cable and controlled using the "Charger Master" software. This software provides a visual display of charging and discharging parameters, including charge time, capacity, charge current, and voltage, presented in a curve format.
