Description
Regenerative Discharger 2S On-Road V3
Regenerative Discharger 2S V3 gives 1/10 on-road racers a cleaner pit setup and stronger pack consistency. Moreover, it pairs with modern dual iChargers and adds a new way to use your charger. Specifically, it can turn one channel into an adjustable power output for tools.
First, you connect it to supported dual iChargers, including the Junsi iCharger DX6 charger, Junsi iCharger DX8 charger, DX12, Junsi iCharger 456DUO charger, Junsi iCharger 458DUO charger, and Junsi iCharger 4512DUO charger. Then, you run your normal charge and cycle workflow with less clutter. As a result, you spend more time racing and less time managing gear.
Dedicated 12.6V Power Output for Pit Tools
Notably, select iChargers let you set one channel to Power Output mode. Therefore, you can deliver 12.6V (adjustable) at up to 20A for pit equipment. In addition, you can skip a separate 12V option for Regenerative Discharger or a standard 12V RC power supply.
For example, you can run common tools right from your charger channel:
- Tire maintenance: tire warmer, break-in machine, gluer, sander, truer, balancer
- Performance tools: air vacuum, comm lathe, diff checker, inductance (gauss) meter, motor analyzer, rotor tester
- Pit essentials: pit light, soldering iron
Compatibility Across Popular iChargers
Additionally, the Regenerative Discharger 2S V3 works with iCharger 308DUO, 406DUO, and 4010DUO. Also, it supports Junsi iCharger S6 charger, Junsi iCharger X6 charger, Junsi iCharger X8 charger, Junsi iCharger X12 charger, and ToolkitRC M8D charger. However, some models do not offer channel-based power output today. Nevertheless, you can upgrade later when you change chargers.
Key Features That Improve Pack Consistency
Above all, this system helps you lower internal resistance by cycling at high current. Consequently, you can feel more punch, better speed, and steadier lap-to-lap voltage. Similarly, the regenerative approach returns energy during discharge, which reduces wasted heat compared to resistor banks. For background, see battery internal resistance and why it affects voltage sag.
- Lower IR through real cycling: cycle rates can reach up to 45A on supported chargers.
- All-in-one pit layout: use a second channel to power tools and reduce extra boxes.
- Compact wiring: shorter leads keep your pit neat and travel-friendly.
- Plug-and-play workflow: run your charger Cycle mode without bulky resistor banks.
Directions, Specs, and Benchmarks
First, use Cycle mode for routine maintenance and performance checks. Then, set a safe minimum, such as 3.5V per cell, before charge. Next, switch to Storage mode at the end of each race day. Finally, avoid repeating Discharge mode back-to-back, because it can add wear.
- Cycle mode: discharge to your minimum, then charge to balance cells and sharpen output.
- Storage mode: store packs at proper voltage after racing.
- Pro tip: dedicate one battery per car, and run about three cycles to reach peak.
Meanwhile, discharge performance depends on your charger:
- Up to 30A: iCharger DX8, DX12, and 308DUO
- Up to 32A: iCharger DX6
- Up to 40A: iCharger S6, 406DUO, and 4010DUO
- Up to 45A: iCharger 456DUO, 458DUO, and 4512DUO
Designed by enthusiasts, made in the U.S.A. Therefore, you get a purpose-built tool that fits real race-day needs.
