The SkyRC MC5000 is the ultimate universal charging station and analyzer, nicknamed the "Swiss Army knife" for cylindrical batteries. It has been designed to meet the demands of even the most discerning users. It supports more than 10 types of battery chemistries, including Li-ion, Li-ion HV, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, eneloop, NiZn, RAM, LTO, and is future-ready with support for Na-ion (Sodium-ion) batteries. With a massive charging current of up to 5.00 A per slot (80W total power) and a discharging current of up to 2.00 A (20W total power), your batteries will be charged faster than ever. A key innovation is the integrated USB-C output with up to 65W Power Delivery (PD 3.0) support, which reliably charges your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

Each of the four slots is monitored independently, allowing you to charge different sizes, capacities, and chemistries of batteries simultaneously. The large 2.8-inch color display provides a perfect overview of all key metrics in real time – it shows current, voltage, capacity, internal resistance, and even charging curve graphs. This makes the MC5000 not just a charger, but a professional diagnostic tool to determine the true condition of your batteries. Operation is extremely intuitive thanks to the physical rotary knob.

An intelligent three-fan system and fold-out stands, which tilt the charger at a 13-degree angle for better airflow, ensure optimal temperature control even under maximum load. This active cooling keeps the temperature within a safe range of 40–50°C, significantly extending battery life and ensuring safe operation.

Thanks to the built-in Bluetooth 5.0, you can fully control the charger, monitor data in real time, view graphs, and update the firmware via the SkyCharger App (iOS/Android). Furthermore, the manufacturer actively releases firmware updates based on user feedback, continuously improving the device's features.
