Power Peak Eternity Robbe 8471 1-8471

The flagship of the robbe Power Peak series of chargers. A good-looking high-performance computer charging / discharging station with battery management for all current battery types. With integral Equalizer for Lithium-Ion, LiPo and LiFe batteries, maximum charge current 20 A.

The clear lines and elegant appearance of this charger are made possible by the new Cap-Touch system: no-contact sensors for the switches and the 3-D hotkey permit a smooth, sealed surface devoid of projecting controls.

The large, bright, backlit 95 x 65 mm graphic LCD monitor provides a clearly arranged display of charge parameters or battery data; the screen is also mounted below the sealed operating surface. The screen offers 192 x 128 pixels and can display twelve separate lines, allowing the use of a clearly legible display font. The screen shows the essential parameters of the current procedure in numerical and graphic form, giving the user the opportunity to observe and check the current process at all times.

The set-up menus are easily and conveniently navigated using the CAP-Touch system, and the menu system can be set to various languages (German, English etc.).

An important feature is the pioneering Battery Identification (BID) system. The range of different battery types used in modelling is constantly widening, and each battery type requires its ´own´ specific charge process.

The robbe BID system automatically stores the essential battery data, ensuring safe and simple operation.

Particular advantages:

Simply connect the BID chip key to the charger, and the charge process begins.

No tiresome searching through the menu for the set-up parameters

Maximum protection from accidental mis-setting

Essential battery data is stored in the BID key

Of course, the E1 charger can also charge batteries not fitted with the BID system.

One BID key is supplied with the charger as standard.

With integral Equalizer for Lithium, LiPo and LiFe batteries.

When the charger is connected to the voltage sensor lead attached to the battery pack, the charger is ´informed´ of the cell count and the voltage of each individual cell. This feedback keeps the charger constantly aware of the state of the cells, so that it is always able to respond in the appropriate way. For example, if any one cell reaches the final charge voltage, the charger reduces the charge current in order to prevent overcharging.

The maximum charge power is enormous at 315 Watts, equating to a maximum charge current of no less than 20 A, corresponding to a charge rate of about 15 A with a 5S LiPo battery. High charge currents are particularly important in order to obtain short charge times. The new RO-POWER 30C LiPo batteries can already be charged at 2C. LiFe batteries can even be charged at 5C, so this high charge power is important, as it significantly reduces effective charge times.
The maximum discharge power is 160 Watts, i.e. a maximum of 40 Amps with a 1S LiPo cell.

Specification:

more Specifications:

The following battery types and cell counts can be charged:
1 - 36 NC cells
1 - 36 NiMH cells
1 - 12 PB / lead-acid cells (2 - 24 Volt)
1 - 14 LiIo (3.6 V), LiPo (3.7 V), LiFe (3.3 V) cells, plus special voltage.

In addition to the Charge, Discharge and Cycle modes the charger also provides different charge processes to suit the various battery types.

For Lithium and Lead-Acid batteries the charger operates using the CC-CV charge and cut-off process.

In the interests of safety it is possible to monitor and display the temperature of a battery during a process; it is even possible to terminate the charge automatically at a particular pre-set temperature; the appropriate sensor is supplied as standard.
Future-proof: Flash memory technology is the key. Software expansions can be loaded in the form of upgrades. Alternatively the charger software can be updated to cope with new battery technologies.

Rapid developments in Lithium battery technology mean that new battery types are constantly appearing, all with different charge and cut-off voltages (Lithium-Ferrum, Lithium-Phosphor, etc.). The Eternity charger is already prepared for these changes, as it features a special menu with a variable set-up facility for the Lithium battery voltage. This means that it can be adjusted within broad limits to suit new Lithium battery types and their cut-off voltages.

The charger features a USB interface for connection to a PC. The excellent free PC software "Logview" is now well known, and can be used to process the data from the Eternity charger for recording, storing, comparing and printing. The charger also features its own internal memory, so that data can still be recorded if no PC is connected to the unit, allowing the data to be read out and stored at any subsequent time.

The charger features two independent charge outputs, intended for drive and flight batteries (OUT 1), and transmitter / receiver batteries and small LiPo packs (OUT 2).

Quiet, temperature-controlled cooling fan.

Output 2 can be used to recharge LiPo batteries with 2 or 3 cells and NC / NiMH batteries with 4 to 8 cells, using a charge current of up to 2 Amps (24 Watts).
