Thunder Power RC TP820CD Firmware Update Instructions
Instructions to help you with TPRC CUI and Firmware update.
Thunder Power RC Charger User Interface (CUI) -.ZIP File
New CUI posted 31/3/2011
TP820CD V3.7 UPDATE FOR USB - .ZIP File
v3.7 Update posted 24/8/2011
TP820CD V3.9 UPDATE FOR USB - .ZIP File
v3.9 Update posted 24/8/2011
Any TP820CD charger that has the 3.5v or older firmware needs to be updated to the 3.7v (DO NOT upgrade to 3.9v).
Chargers that have 3.6v installed from the factory need to be updated to 3.9v


The TP820CD is the first ever dual port and the most anticipated, most powerful and most advanced multi-chemistry charger, discharger, cycler and balancer system from Thunder Power RC yet. With up to 800 watts of total charging power, nearly 4-times that of the ever-popular TP1010C, the TP820CD is equipped with two ports that function completely independently to charge, discharge and cycle a wide variety of 1-8S LiPo, LiIon and LiFe (A123) batteries, as well as 1-24 cell NiCd and NiMH along with 6-30V Pb (lead-acid) batteries. The built-in 2-8S LiPo/LiIon/LiFe (A123) cell balancers, one for each port, and included balance connector adapter boards are readily compatible with all Thunder Power balance connectors and the JST-XH balance connectors found on most other batteries.

The dual port TP820CD offers the convenience and flexibility of two separate chargers in a single yet incredibly compact case as a result of its advanced power conversion technology and design. Each port is capable of charging at rates up to 20 amps, even simultaneously depending on input power and charge settings, offering the ability to charge many of the latest-generation LiPo batteries at ultra-fast rates up to 6C and beyond. This means the TP820CD is well-equipped to quickly charge batteries up to 8S on each port for use in series as up to 16S in large-scale airplanes and helicopters. A popular example of the incredible charging capability is the ability to charge two 6S 5000mAh batteries, one on each port simultaneously and with maximum input voltage and power for ultimate efficiency, at just over 3C to have a complete 12S 5000mAh battery setup charged in as little as 20 minutes or less time. And, because each port functions independently, you can even mix and match charge, discharge or cycling duties of a LiPo motor power battery and a NiMH transmitter battery, a NiCd receiver battery and a lead-acid field box battery or just about any other combination you might have.

Other great features include built-in data logging, viewing and internal resistance measurement, dual computer-controlled cooling fans and temperature protection, an attractive and extremely durable aluminum case, plus the ability to install future firmware updates available for free download from www.ThunderPowerRC.com using a standard mini USB cable. Best of all these incredible features are all available at a value that’s hard to beat while being backed by Thunder Power RC’s industry-leading 2-year warranty.

Coupled with a Max Amps 47A power supply this charger is so simple to use and can handle anything you connect to it out at the field or at home. Dual ports are a work of art. Great product and warranty speaks for itself. Thanks Modelflight for the prompt delivery and assistance. Regards Tony
