Just because a charger is small and affordable doesn’t mean it can’t handle many charging needs and the ElectriFly Triton EQ is proof! Based on the Triton Jr., Triton EQ offers the capability to handle the latest battery technologies including LiPo, Li-Ion and even LiFe (A123) cells and there’s no need for an external LiPo balancer – it’s built in. The Triton EQ can also charge 1-14 NiCd and NiMH cells – great for radio batteries – with charge currents up to 5 amps to handle large power packs. And that’s in addition to the convenience of a built-in AC power supply and a new reversed LCD with backlight and adjustable view angle!

  • DC input makes the Triton EQ portable; a small, very lightweight, built-in switching AC power supply makes it handy for indoor charging as well.
  • Balancing capability for up to 6S lithium packs is built in, so it’s equally useful for the smallest indoor fliers as well as big outdoor aircraft.
  • Not only is the LCD reversed with a backlight, it also features a 0-45° adjustable view angle for easy reading.
