Orbit Microlader Pro

 

Professional charger,

up to 8 A, 1-32 NiCd/NiMh- or 1-12 Lithium Polymer(LiPo)-cells

 

 

The Orbit MICROLADERpro continues the approved technology of the Orbit MICROLADER V6.3. With this model we fulfill many customers' need for more power: Charging and discharging currents of up to 8 Amperes make this device a high-performance charger for Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh), lead (Pb) and Lithium Polymer batteries. Its wide range of possibilities will soon make it your reliable, permanent companion: automatic quick charging, reflex charging, normal charging, discharging and forming (or reconditioning) of 1 to 32 NiCd/NiMh- or 12 LiPo-cells.


The Orbit MICROLADERpro is as user-friendly as our Orbit MICROLADER V6.3. Easily and conveniently you can access the individual operating modes, where you can directly enter and save the desired charging/discharging current or the number of cycles. The LCD display informs you at any time about the battery voltage and current as well as the charging time and the charged electricity in mAh. Its extensive range of features makes this device not only a powerful charger, but also a valuable maintenance and measuring device for all R/C hobbyists who need more power.



The Orbit MICROLADERpro can also be connected to the optional PC interface for measurement data transfer and analysis on a PC running the Orbit MICROLOG software.

Orbit Microlader V6,3

 

Universal charger, up to 6 A, 1-30 NiMh/NiCd- or 1-11 Lithium Polymer(LiPo)-cells

 

 

The Orbit MICROLADER V6.3 combines all functions an R/C hobbyist could wish for in one compact device: automatic fast charging, reflex charging, easy (cc) charging and discharging. The forming or reconditioning of new or rarely used battery cells is also possible with this device.

The Orbit MICROLADER V6.3 is a powerful charger for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh), Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), lead (Pb), and Lithium Polymer batteries, which simultaneously serves as a precise measurement device for the battery capacity. A clearly arranged LCD display informs you at any time about the battery voltage, the charging current, the total charging time, and the charged electricity (in mAh).


The Orbit MICROLADER V6.3 can be connected to a PC interface (sold separately) to transfer and analyse the measured data with the Orbit MICROLOG software.


The Orbit MICROLADER V6.3 is user-friendly and, due to its sophisticated and compact design, very robust and handy.

Orbit Pocketlader

 

Universal charger, up to 5 A, 1-12(14) NiMh/NiCd- or 1-5 Lithium Polymer(LiPo)-cells

 

 
 

The Orbit POCKETLADER combines all functions an R/C hobbyist could wish
 for in one compact charger. All rechargeable battery types 1V up to 21V and
 50mA up to 4 amps can be charged and discharged.
The Orbit POCKETLADER is a powerful charger for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh),
 Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), lead (Pb), and Lithium-Ion/ Polymer batteries,
 and simultaneously serves as a precise measurement device for the battery
capacity. A clearly arranged LCD display informs you at any time about the
battery voltage, the charging current, the total charging time, and the charge
(in mAh).


The Orbit POCKETLADER has a SIO interface to analyse the measured
battery data with the Orbit MICROLOG software and to update the
POCKETLADER with the newest firmware (firmware-flash).

Orbit M-Saver Flash

Receiver battery monitor (ultra-bright red LED)

 

The Orbit M-SAVERflash is an optical voltage monitor that informs you about the state of your receiver battery at any time. It is simply plugged into an unused servo output of the receiver. An extra-bright red LED flashes once, twice, or three times, depending on the battery voltage. If the LED shows the critical range (triple flash or permanent red) while the battery is under load, the model should not be started any more. A precision switch allows the Orbit M-SAVERflash to be used for 4-cell as well as 5-cell receiver batteries.
 

  • Operating current: 4 mA at 5 V
  • Connection: JR/Futaba (20 cm) with gold contacts
  • Operation: Battery voltage check by moving rudder several times
  • Weight: 4 g (with cable)
  • Dimensions: 11 x 5 x 36 mm (52 mm with LED)
  • Package includes: Orbit M-SAVERflash with connection cable and data sheet

Orbit M-Saver Ultra

Receiver battery monitor (LED bar)with memory

The Orbit M-SAVERplus is an optical voltage monitor for 4-,5- or 6-cell NiCd/NiMh (=2s Lipo). It informs you about the state of your receiver battery at any time. It is simply plugged into an unused servo output of the receiver. An ultra-bright twelve-segment LED bar digitizes the course of the receiver battery voltage in three ranges: yellow, organge, and red. Thank to its memory function, the current battery voltage and the smallest voltage measured so far (under load) are displayed simultaneously. If the LED display drops into the critical range (red) while the battery is under load, the model should not be started any more.
 

  • Operating current: 11 mA
  • Connection: JR/Uni (25 cm) with gold contacts
  • Operation: Battery voltage check by moving rudder several times
  • Weight: 7 g (with cable)
  • Dimensions: 9.5 x 6 x 56 mm
  • Package includes: Orbit M-SAVER ultra with connection cable and data sheet

Orbit Lipo Checker 5S 4,2v

 
The Orbit LiPo-checker is a precision voltage supervisory unit for rechargeable lithium battery cells (Lipo). It is simply connected or plugged to paralleled lithium cells. An ultra-bright LED digitizes the voltage curve of the cell(s) into: voltage is constant = (LED-OFF), voltage rise (LED-FLASHES) and overvoltage (LED-ON). An controlled current sink discharges the cells to an allowed level. This can balance the lithium cells in a pack to equal voltages. An alarm output is activated if the max or min voltage is reached anyway.


 
  • Operating current: 10uA, max. 550 mA
  • Connection: JR/Uni or BEC(Tanic) connectors
  • Operating voltage: +2,1V to +4,5V
  • Thresholds: < 2,7V, > 4,20V, >=4,23V
  • Dimensions: 50 x 5 x 105 mm
  • Package includes: 5s Orbit LiPo-checker with connection cable and plugs
