Dght LiPo Balance Charger 2S-3S – Compact RC Charger with XHR Plug, AC 100-240V, LED Charge Status
Dght LiPo Balance Charger 2S-3S – Compact RC Charger with XHR Plug, AC 100-240V, LED Charge Status
The Dght RC balance charger is designed for 2S and 3S LiPo batteries commonly used in remote-controlled cars. It operates on AC 100-240V input and delivers a maximum charge current of 1000mA. This compact charger features two output ports – one for 7.4V (2S) and one for 11.1V (3S) batteries – but only one battery can be charged at a time. The dual-color LED changes from red (charging) to green (full) so you can monitor progress at a glance.
Balance Charging: What It Does for Your Batteries
Balance charging is a method that charges each cell in a LiPo battery to the same voltage. This charger includes balance wires that connect to each cell individually. By charging each cell independently, it helps maintain the health and performance of your battery pack over time. Without balancing, cells can drift apart, leading to reduced capacity or even damage. This charger is specifically built for 2S (two cells) and 3S (three cells) LiPo packs.
Compatible Batteries and Connectors
This charger works with 2S and 3S LiPo batteries that use an XHR plug. Typical applications include RC cars, trucks, and other remote-controlled vehicles. It is not compatible with 1S, 4S, or higher cell counts, nor with NiMH or other battery chemistries. Always check your battery's specifications before connecting.
Charging 7.4V vs 11.1V: Which Port to Use?
The charger has two labeled ports: one for 7.4V (2S) and one for 11.1V (3S). Use the port that matches your battery's nominal voltage. Do not attempt to charge a 3S battery on the 7.4V port, or vice versa. Also, never connect batteries to both ports at the same time – the charger is designed for one battery at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I charge two batteries at once?
No. The two output ports are for different voltage batteries, and only one can be used at a time. Connecting both simultaneously may damage the charger or batteries.
How do I know when charging is complete?
The LED indicator shows red while charging and turns green when the battery is fully charged. You can then disconnect the battery.
Does this charger work with 4S batteries?
No. It is designed exclusively for 2S and 3S LiPo batteries. Using it with other cell counts is not supported.
What type of plug does it use?
The charger uses an XHR connector. Make sure your battery has a matching XHR plug. If not, you may need an adapter (not included).
This Dght balance charger is a compact and reliable option for maintaining your 2S and 3S LiPo RC batteries. Its simple operation and clear LED status make it easy to use, while the balance circuitry helps prolong battery life.
