Xtrema Li - Balancer Introduced at SEFF


Yes you have all been asking about it and we are finally showing our hottest new product and our next big upgrade to the Xtrema. The Xtrema Balancer is a 2-6 cell Li Balancer that balances all Li rechargable batteries down to 2.8 volts/cell. Like the Xtrema we are offering free updates for life so that you can feel secure that you will always have the latest technology and the coolest new features. It can operate in three modes: stand alone, stand alone with data cable, and integrated with the Xtrema via the BIM (Balancer Interface Module) (( Yeah I know it has a NASA type techie name but guess what? Engineers from Florida are geeks so it's OK!))

Stand alone with the optional data cable the Xtrema Balancer offers some cool features never seen before: (same cable as used with the Xtrema) You can start or stop balance from your computer while watching the indiviual cell voltages displayed. It will also discharge to a specified voltage. (another way to get storage charge) You can also specify a programmable maximum voltage to allow you maximise the life of your cells. And like the Xtrema, data cable owners will be able to download updates FREE from Internet without having to return the unit to us.

When the Balancer is connected to the Xtrema with the BIM you will be able to gang one or two of them together to get up to 12 cell balancing (M1 cells) fully integrated into the Xtrema Charger/Wattmeter. It will also add bullet proof cell count verification to the Xtrema. The BIM provides all the necessary opto isolation and communications channels to allow you to hook up your stacked packs with out fear of accidental shorts.


While this design is still under development we hope to have it fully tested and in production by the end of the summer. While we have not fully gone through a costing of the balancer we hope to have it retail for under $35. The BIM and all the necessary connection cables to support up to two balancers should be under $49.

Stay tuned for release dates:
