Multi-bay NP-50 charger

[nickreich]

I thought I saw a photo either here or on one of the FB pages of a multi-bay slot-loading charger for 6 or 8 NP-50 (Fuji) batteries as used in Lectro SSM transmitters (and the new little Zaxcom one, I think). Search as hard as I can - I can't find it again. Does anyone have a link?

Thanks, Nick

They had some they were closing out recently.  Also, they may be releasing a new version in the future.

Sound Guys Solutions are meant to coming out with an eight bay one. Couldn't tell you when, it's all in the rumour mill at the moment. There was a bit of talk about it on the Australian soundie FB forum recently. I for one keenly await.

Cheers Nate.

Only one I've seen is the 12 bay lectrosonics makes. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1243685-REG/lectrosonics_chs12lb50_battery_charging_station.html

 We did do a custom run of some 10 bank charges. We do have 4&8 bank charges in the works but unfortunately have had a delay in our molded parts. 

 We do currently have a USB powered 2-bank charger available.  This does charge the batteries simultaneously.  We've had a couple clients use these and a USB charging hub to make multi chargers.

yes, that's the one I saw. The Lectro one looks good too, wasn't aware it existed. Thanks all.

Looking to use a hub to connect to 5 of these/10 batteries at once - what are the specifications for current for such a configuration?

If you got more NP50 batts, try those handcrafted chargers of Joppe ("WrineX"), better charging & more functional at a fraction of the space.

What makes them better at charging?

+1 for Joppe’s charger. Just bought 2 of his new version and love the size and quality build. Also love the fact that one can force the charger to top up the batteries so you know for sure they are @100%
