Much More Cell Master & Power Supply Legend

Shown for the first time at this weeks TITC race in Thailand are the latest charger and power supply offering from Much More. The new Cell Master Legend charger has the same advantages of the current Cell Master and Silent charger, meaning it will be able to charge super linear, just like what Cell master does, and be able to handle Ni-Mh and NiCd, just like the Silent charger does, as well as LiPo, LiFe and LiMn. The new Legend sports two ports up front, one for the built-in balancing port for LiPo, while the 2nd is used for the temperature probe (included) or as an I/O port for the separately available 40A discharger and Cell equalizing charging tray. Interacting with the chargers menu is now different also, with 2 keys (forward and backward) and a wheel, similar to that on your mouse, for changing the value up or down. The new Legend Power supply, pictured below the chargers, is essentially two 20A power supplies in one box and can be monitored by the built in LCD display. The box itself features 4 outputs on the back, 1 output on the front as well as 1 USB port on the right side.
