This charger features 400 watts of power via dual 200-watt circuits allowing for simultaneous charging of two batteries up to 10 amps each. The Medion also features a new IR-Mode™ internal resistance test which will test each cell individually and provides single cell and total pack resistance values so you can see the real-time condition of your LiPo and LiFe battery packs.
