V-PEAKE5 is a DC high‑power‑density 2‑6S balance charger with a total charging power of 60W and current up to 5A. It adopts an integrated DC/DC control circuit design, offering wide operating conditions and simple operation. Supports multi‑battery charging, with LED indicators for real‑time charging status. Equipped with multiple protection systems (input over‑voltage, under‑voltage, over‑current; output over‑voltage, under‑voltage, over‑current, short‑circuit). Compatible with BC1.2, Divider3, QC2.0, PD3.0, SDP, and CDP fast‑charge protocols. With a compact size of just 8.5×5.5×2.0 cm, it is portable yet powerful, meeting the fast balancing charging needs of drone batteries and various RC model batteries.
60W / 5A High‑power charging Supports 2‑6S LiPo / LiHV / LiFe Supports NiMH 1‑16 Cells Multiple protections: OVP, UVP, OCP, short‑circuit Compatible with PD3.0 / QC2.0 Type‑C DC input, 5‑20V wide voltage
Note: Before use, confirm battery type (LiPo / LiHV / LiFe / NiMH) and cell count (Lixx 2‑6S or NiMH 1‑16 Cells). Use a Type‑C power adapter that supports 20V/3A or higher to achieve full 60W output.
Q1: Can this charger charge two drone batteries at the same time?
Yes, the E5 supports multi‑battery charging, but the total power is 60W. The actual number depends on each battery's voltage and set current. For example, two 3S LiPo packs each at 2.5A would draw about 63W (3×4.2×2.5×2 ≈ 63W), which is near the limit. We recommend distributing current according to battery capacity to avoid over‑load protection.
Q2: What is the maximum power output when using a PD fast‑charger as the power source?
The input voltage must be between 5‑20V. The actual charging power is limited by the input source. With a PD3.0 adapter supporting 20V/3A (60W), the charger can deliver full 60W. With a 5V/2A standard adapter, the output is limited to about 10W. For optimal performance, use a Type‑C adapter rated at 20V/3A or higher.
Q3: When using LiHV (high‑voltage LiPo) for drones, does the E5 automatically set the correct termination voltage?
The E5 supports LiHV, but you must manually select the appropriate battery mode (LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/NiMH) before charging. Once LiHV is selected, the charger uses 4.35V/cell as the termination voltage. Do not use LiPo mode (4.2V) with LiHV (under‑charge) or LiHV mode with standard LiPo (over‑charge). Always confirm the battery type beforehand.
Q4: Why does the charger occasionally show a red LED and refuse to charge?
A steady or flashing red light usually indicates a protection trigger. Common causes: ① Input voltage below 5V or above 20V; ② Output short‑circuit or reverse polarity; ③ Cell‑count misidentification (e.g., a 6S pack detected as 7S). Check the input source, wiring polarity, and ensure each cell voltage is above 2.8V. If the issue persists, verify that the Type‑C cable supports high‑current transmission.
Q5: With charging current options of 1A/2A/3A/5A, which one is recommended for drone batteries?
We recommend charging at 1‑2C based on battery capacity (mAh). For a 1500mAh pack, 1.5A‑3A is a good range. If speed is critical and the battery supports 5C charging, 5A can be used, but note the 60W power limit – a 6S battery at 5A would draw about 126W (6×4.2×5), exceeding the charger’s capacity. Therefore, for 6S packs, the maximum usable current is approximately 2.4A (60W / 25.2V). Always calculate based on cell count and power to avoid current‑throttling or protection activation.
