SkyRC eN18 NiMH AC Charger 4-8 Cell 1.2Amp
£14.99 Inc. VAT
A simple AC wall charger for 4-8 cell NiMH battery packs.
Introducing the Sky RC eN18 NiMH AC Charger – a simple AC wall charger for 4-8 cell NiMH battery packs.
Ease of use is the most important thing with the eN18 NiMH charger. Simply plug this charger into a free socket, connect the battery via the Tamiya / Deans connector (please select as require) and off you go. It can charge at up to 1.2A. The coloured LED shows you the current status and goes green as soon as the charging process is completed.
With the built-in delta peak detection, the Skyrc eN18 ensures that your batteries really reach their full capacity when charging. In this way, you can get even more performance and even longer running times from your batteries. This is achieved through the use of a peak detection circuit that monitors the battery’s voltage during charging and automatically shuts off the charger when the batteries’ voltage peaks and falls. This is in contrast to a timed charger, which often gives you a battery that is not fully charged.
Compact but Versatile:
Want to get the most out of your batteries? SkyRC eN18 is more than just a peak charger – it’s a versatile peak charger capable of charging both electric car battery packs and nitro car receiver packs. This is possible because the SkyRC eN18 offers voltage ranging from 4.8 to 14.4V at 1.2 amp. You can charge 6-8 cell NiMH battery packs as found in most electric cars, trucks, and buggies. With the 1.2 amp charge rate, you can safely fast charge any 4-5 cell nitro car NiMH receiver’s pack.
Plug and Charge:
eN18 will start charging on the fly once the correct battery is connected.
Delta-V Peak detection:
With the Delta Peak detection circuitry, the SkyRC eN18 allows your batteries to reach their full capacity when charging, so you can get the most power and run time from your batteries. It achieves this by using peak detection circuitry that monitors the voltage of the battery pack while it’s being charged and automatically shuts the charger off when the packs’ voltage peaks and then starts to drop. This is in contrast to a timed charger, where you often end up with a battery pack that’s not fully charged.
Stabilised Output for Maximum Safety:
With the stable pulse charge, eN18 pumps a fixed 1.2A current to charge your battery reliably. All the chargers have passed the rigorous burn-in process to ensure they are durable enough to withstand use cycles and other operating conditions.
Trickle Charge : optimize the battery:
All batteries self-discharge over time, NiMH batteries have a relatively high self-discharge rate of about 1% per day. Trickle charging can keep NiMH batteries in optimal condition to replenish the charge that is continually draining off.
Universal-Voltage Input:
With the worldwide input voltage of 100-240V AC and detachable plug*, RC hobbyists can enjoy racing and flying wherever they are.
Output Connector: Tamiya Male or Dean Male – please select as required. A UK mains AC plug is included.

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery Safety Guidelines
PLEASE READ AND KEEP FOR REFERENCE
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries can be extremely dangerous if not handled correctly. A lithium fire can reach extremely high temperatures, is unpredictable and difficult to extinguish.
A standard four-cell 1500mAh LiPo battery at full charge stores a massive 25Wh (watt hours) of energy!
Please take these risks seriously. We advise following the guidelines below to safely use and maintain your LiPo batteries.
Disclaimer
This information sheet is provided to help our customers understand LiPo battery safety. However, you use this information at your own risk. Following good practices will also help to ensure the longevity of your battery packs.
By purchasing LiPo batteries or charging equipment from our store, you accept all risks related to their use. If you disagree, please contact us immediately to arrange a return before using the product.
1. Charging Safety
- Use a proper charger: Always charge LiPo batteries with a LiPo-compatible charger.
- Set the correct parameters: Charge at the recommended voltage and current settings specified by the manufacturer. Many fires occur due to incorrect charge settings. In most cases, the safest charge rate is 1C.
- Double-check connections: Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse charging can lead to cell damage or a fire.
- Charge in a safe environment: Charge batteries on a non-flammable surface, in a fireproof container, and away from flammable materials.
- Monitor while charging: Never leave charging batteries unattended. Stop charging immediately if the battery becomes hot or swollen.
- Avoid overcharging: Never exceed 4.2V per cell (4.35V for LiHV Lithium-ion Polymer High-Voltage batteries).
2. Storage Safety
- Storage voltage: For long-term storage, maintain a ‘storage charge’ voltage of 3.7V to 3.85V per cell.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Always store your LiPo pack in a safe and non-flammable container away from flammable objects. A LiPo sack or metal/ceramic storage container is best. Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures (above 60°C/140°F). The ideal storage temperature is 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F).
- Avoid full discharge: Never store batteries at full charge or with a low voltage (below 3.3V per cell).
3. Handling and Usage
- Inspect regularly: Check batteries for any damage, swelling, or leaks before use.
- Avoid physical damage: Protect batteries from impacts, punctures, and exposure to moisture or water.
- Never short-circuit: Avoid contact between battery terminals. Do not store or transport batteries where they can come into contact with sharp or conductive materials (e.g., metal objects).
- Use within limits: Stay within the manufacturer’s recommended discharge rate and capacity ratings for safe operation.
- Monitor during use: Use voltage alarms or onboard monitoring to prevent over-discharging (below 3.3V per cell).
- Crashes: If a battery is damaged in a crash or shows changes in appearance (including swelling or gassing), move it to a safe place to observe, and discard it. Never attempt to charge a battery with physical damage, regardless of how minor the damage may seem.
4. Disposal
- Lifespan: Rechargeable LiPo batteries do not last forever. Batteries that have lost 20% of their initial capacity should be removed from service and disposed of.
- Dispose properly: Never throw LiPo batteries in the general waste. Dispose of them at certified recycling centres.
- Prepare for disposal: Fully discharge batteries before disposal and tape the terminals to prevent short circuits.
5. In Case of Fire
- Fire containment: If a LiPo battery catches fire, use a Class D fire extinguisher or sand to smother the fire. Avoid inhaling fumes and vacate the area immediately.
The market is swamped with random Chinese brands when it comes to selecting a battery charger, but SkyRC stands out as one of the most reputable. They specialise is developing chargers and power supplies for hobbyist and enterprise.
