P • Using the D400 Charger with a RangePro RPX8-P Battery
Introduction
The Range Pro X8 RP6S24KHDx is a dual 6S2P, 24,000 mAh, high density, battery pack consisting of two
independent 6S2P Lithium Ion Polymer battery packs installed in a single battery cage. The battery packs are
impedance matched at the factory, placed in a common cage, and wired independently to a single connector.
On the aircraft the unit provides a blind mating power solution with easy insertion and extraction from the sys-
tem using a dovetail rail system and latching mechanism. The power pins from both battery packs, though
housed in the same connector, are independently routed to the aircraft power sensor module.
For charging, power and balance port connectors are separately wired for each battery pack and broken out for
connection to a charger using a custom cable. To connect the RP6S24KHDx to the SKYRC Ultimate Duo
400W (D400) Balance Charger, use the RPBCCA400-12 twelve-inch cable that includes a battery mating con-
nector on one end and two sets of power and balance ports on the other. Custom cable lengths are available
upon request.
This appendix provides instructions on how to customize the D400 charger for use with the RP6S24KHDx
battery as well as some common troubleshooting steps for addressing issues that may arise when the unit is not
set up correctly. For additional details on how to use the D400, refer to the Ultimate Duo Instruction Manual
provided with the charger.
