RadioLink CB86-Plus 156W DC 6A 8-Port Balance Charger - RLKA001008

Overview

Target User Level: Intermediate to Advanced RC Pilots & Drivers
The RadioLink CB86-Plus is a high-precision, 8-port DC balance charger engineered for managing multi-pack lithium battery inventories. Featuring a unique 6-channel independent power supply architecture, it balance-charges every individual cell directly through the balance port at up to 6A, delivering ultra-accurate cell balancing without requiring main power leads.

Product Description

Streamline your charging workflow with the RadioLink CB86-Plus 8-Port Balance Charger. Unlike standard parallel charging boards that risk voltage imbalance between packs, the CB86-Plus features an automated 8-port sequential cycling system. Connect up to eight 1S–6S LiPo, Li-ion, or LiHV battery packs at once, and the charger will safely sequence through and fully service each battery pack automatically. Powered by soft-switching technology and independent push-pull circuit topology, the CB86-Plus operates at up to 97% efficiency, keeping temperatures below 35°C even during maximum output charging. The integrated 2.8-inch TFT color display delivers real-time per-cell diagnostic data, internal resistance monitoring, and an automatic battery repair function for recovering over-discharged cells.

ATModels Bench & Track Notes

• 6A True Independent Balance Charging: Charges each cell directly through the balance connector at a full 6A current, achieving exceptional 1mV (0.001V) voltage accuracy without external main lead plugs.
• 8-Port Automatic Cycling: Ideal for field days or overnight preparation—plug in up to 8 packs, hit start, and let the system sequentially balance charge each battery without manual swaps.
• Cool & Efficient Operation: Advanced push-pull circuit design maintains low thermal output (<35°C), extending charger lifespan and eliminating noisy cooling fan stress.
