Overview
The Hitec RDX2 1600 Duo is a two-port charger with a built-in power supply, rated up to 1600W on DC and 500W on AC, with up to 32A per port for fast turnaround at the track or in the workshop.
Reverse discharging of up to 1100W between channels A and B, a 50A parallel mode and support for every common chemistry make it a powerful pit-side solution.
Key Features
- Dual port charging up to 32A per port, or 50A in parallel for a single pack
- Built-in power supply mode, up to 36V @ 32A, for external devices
- Up to 1100W reverse discharging between channels A and B
- Balance, standard, storage and discharge modes for lithium packs
- Re-peak and delta-peak modes for NiMH/NiCd
- Capacity cut-off and ventilation fan
- Compatible with the Hitec AD380 discharger/analyzer
Performance Benefits
- Charge two large packs at once for less downtime
- Runs from AC mains, or unlocks full 1600W with DC input
- Fast reverse discharging gets packs to storage voltage quickly
- Powers pit accessories through the power supply mode
Usage Notes
- Full 1600W output requires a suitable DC power supply; AC is limited to 500W
- Per-port current drops on 6S-8S packs (23.8A per port at 8S on DC)
- Always balance charge lithium packs and never charge unattended
- Update firmware with Hitec's PC Charge Manager software
