The 625 DUO Touch AC also provides important information during the charging process, including a data graph, internal resistance of the battery and individual cell voltage. Additional features include adjustable per-cell end voltage, worldwide voltage compatibility, automatic cell count recognition, and a Digital Power setting that allows you to power additional DC powered equipment when you aren't charging a battery.

Hi-Voltage Capable
This charger features a Hi-Voltage LiHV mode that allows you to safely charge Hi-Voltage LiHV capable batteries. You can adjust the charging end voltage of this mode up to 4.40V per cell, which is considerably higher than 4.20V per cell of an ordinary LiPo battery. Charging at this higher end voltage requires a Hi-Voltage LiHV capable battery, but the power gains are significant to the overall punch and power for the R/C model. But please note: battery voltages exceeding 4.20V per cell is prohibited from sanctioned racing rules, such as ROAR, IFMAR, etc.

How To Calculate Your Charging Needs
To determine if this charger is suitable for your application, you must perform this calculation to determine the maximum amp rate the charger can supply. Divide the Watts of the charger by the Voltage of the battery pack. This will tell you the maximum amp rate the charger can deliver (Watts / Voltage = Amps). For example, if using the Touch 625 AC and a 6S LiPo battery, you would divide 200 Watts by 22.2 Volts to realize a 9 Amp charge rate. This means that the charger can supply a maximum of 9 amps to a 22.2 Volt 6S battery. This amp rate will gradually reduce as the battery voltage increases during the charge cycle.

LiPo Battery & Charger Warnings:

1) DO NOT leave the battery in your model when charging
2) DO NOT leave unattended when charging
3) ALWAYS balance charge the battery
4) ALWAYS use a LiPo charging bag
5) YOU MUST use a Li-Poly specific charger to charge the pack (NiMH or NiCd only chargers WILL NOT WORK!)
6) YOU MUST not over discharge the Li-Poly battery pack
7) READ & UNDERSTAND the instructions carefully before operating this battery

WARNING NOTE: This charger is not recommended for use with Traxxas batteries with ID connectors or Spektrum Smart batteries with IC connectors. Charging batteries equipped with ID or IC connectors may require additional steps in order to safely balance charge your Lipo batteries. Please refer to your vehicle or aircraft owner’s manual for recommended batteries and charging equipment.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
absolutely the best charger i have owned so far and my last one was the orion touch duo before it died on me( 5 months owned and no contact back from orion's customer service). the protek 625 is very easy to navigate and very simple to use which is nice compared to some out there but at the same time it also has some very complex features that arent complex to use. also 25 amps of charge rate is ridiculous for an ac/dc charger without having to lug around a huge power supply every where with you. you wont regret buying it!

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
Absolutely go buy this charger!!! If you're looking for a charger that you can plug in and can charge 4s packs in about 20 or so minutes, this is the one!!!I used to have a slow charger that could only charge said 4s pack at about 3.5-4A. It took over an hour to charge that battery!

Love the touch screen. Even comes with a little stylus. Multi configurations for memory enables you to save any of your settings to a specific memory setting. Recall it from the charge screen and you're good to go! Even charges LiHv.

Relatively quiet for the size and how much juice it can provide. Love the dual ports. True 200w/ channel charging. You can even discharge on one side and charge on the other! MUST BUY!

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
Excellent charger! I upgraded from a plastic Traxxas EZ Peak charger, which seems like a toy compared to this ProTek unit. The build quality is incredible (it's built like a Sherman tank as the saying goes), and the touch screen interface is excellent. The charger auto-detects the type of battery to be charged/discharged though you want to double-check mAh and charge/discharge rate. The ability to discharge at a higher rate is particularly useful since it was taking 8+ hours to discharge a fully-charged LiPo with my old charger. Overall an outstanding product and I'm very happy with the purchase.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
Best AC/DC charger you can buy in my opinion. Super easy to use, charges every kind of battery and it's just a super well built powerhouse. If you want the best, here it is. You dont know what you are missing until you get a great charger.. charges everything from my LiFe 7px transmitter battery to my liHV graphene crawler 3s batts to my monster 65010mah 4s graphene HV Protek's.

2 year update: Still loving the charger even though ive only been able to use it maybe a dozen times in the last year. One thing that i have noticed, and ive seen other people with the same problem, and that is that the port on the right side (#2) always displays a higher internal resistance number than the left. A pack might show 15 ohms on the right and the same battery on the right could show 25 ohms. The charging is still awesome but i just dont know what the accurate resistance is.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
Charger is awesome. I liked the thought of not having to use a separate power supply. Charges up to 25A, shows battery internal resistance on each cell. It is a big bulky and heavy but not anymore than a comparable charger w/separate power supply. Worth every penny...

Fantastic charger ! Very easy to use and powerful . It's light and compact for a charger of its power. Be sure to always plug in to a surge protector as I found out the hard way a surge will blow out the internal power supply.

This Protek RC charger is powerful and very complete while being very easy and intuitive to use!
The measurements per cell are accurate, no abnormal heating observed so far and the ventilation is not too noisy.
In short, very good product for a reasonable price.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
Works well, screens are very easy to read, setup was simple. Huge improvement in discharge rates over my previous, smaller charger.

My very minor quibble is that it's nigh impossible to use the touch screen with Sasquatchian fingers. It comes with a tiny little tapper tool that works great, but seems hard to keep hold of. It's got something dangling from it, there is probably an attachment point I'm too stupid to find. But keep the little tapper pen, you're gonna want that thing.

This is my first real charger. I have always had Traxxas cahrgers prior. The Prodigy is very easy to use and understand. It seems to do a good job and comes with a good amount of cables. The only thing I would like would to have longer leads on the balance boards. Otherwise I think it is perfect!

ProTek RC "Prodigy 625 DUO Touch AC" LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger
I’ve just started using this charger and so far so good
The shipping was fast and it arrived in great condition
It includes some great accessories ,2 balance boards
and other cables etc.
and I also ordered
a couple of octopus cables that accommodate most plug types
The display screens are bright and easy to read
Programming is very easy
The included stylus works well but I’m not sure where it’s supposed to be stored with the included tether???
If you need a full featured high powered charger I would highly recommend checking this out!
