Thunder Power RC released the brand new
TP-610C-ACDC computerized battery charger today, the first sophisticated computerized charger to feature a built in AC power supply. The new TP-610C-ACDC balancer, charger and discharger can use any 100 to 240 volt AC source or 11 to 18 volt DC power supply, making it one of the most flexible balance chargers ever made. Whether you’re out at the field running off a field battery or at home on the bench, the TP-610C-ACDC can service all your charging / discharging / cycling needs.

Unlike most battery chargers, the new TP-610C-ACDC features a built in power supply. This eliminates the need for an external power supply or 12 volt battery and allows you to charge your batteries using almost any AC source. If you’re flying beyond the reach of extension cords or other AC sources, the TP-610C-ACDC can also draw power from any conventional DC 11 to 18 volt DC power supply or battery. Because you can run the new TP-610C-ACDC using household power it can be used to charge your 12 volt flight battery without an external AC source. Instead of using an unreliable and dangerous wall wart type power supply for your 12 volt battery, you can finally migrate all your charging needs to a computerized charger.

Including an AC power supply in the charger design has the following  benefits:

  • You don’t have to buy a separate power supply to use your Thunder Power RC charger. Most computerized chargers on the market, including the popular TP-610C require an external power supply in order to run. The new TP-610C-ACDC eliminates this requirement by including a built in adapter.
  • If you don’t already have a 12 volt power supply you don’t need to run your charger off of a 12 volt battery. Most field batteries are designed to provide 5 to 10 amps for a few seconds while starting fuel airplanes. If you use your 7 amp-hour field battery to run your charger, you will deplete it after only a few cycles (assuming an average battery capacity). Many flying fields now provide 120 volt AC outlets for chargers and power supplies, so use them to power your balance charger while you use your 12 volt battery for other purposes.
  • Obtaining a new TP-610C-ACDC is cheaper than getting a TP-610C balance charger and 5 amp power supply separately.
