More new items from Muchmore who have released their new Cell Master Specter charger and optional discharge bank. The charger features a 4.3″ IPS touch display with a new menu structure designed to be easy to use for all skill levels with the display showing the battery condition very accurately with clear colour and fast response. A real time battery IR view allows you to check your battery condition quickly and easily with the battery resistance monitoring feature. It’s designed for LiPo and LiHV cells and includes an optimal cycle mode to maintain your batteries and guarantee the most power. The Specter cycle mode for stock racers supports 3 cycling functions which lowers the internal resistance to create more performance. This unit now supports 40A charging and, with the optional discharge bank, 40A discharging up to 350W. The discharge bank adds the additional 20A to the discharge performance of the charger, which by itself is 20A. Featuring a full aluminium case, it aids in dispersing the internal heat build up to improve efficiency and user protection. It also sports a status LED which makes it easy to check the current working status of the unit.
