[![CH5050_2800x2000.jpg](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CH5050_2800x2000.jpg?width=320&name=CH5050_2800x2000.jpg)](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/)The Inspired Energy [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) is a desktop dual bay smart charger / calibrator which works with all [Inspired Energy N-series smart batteries](https://accutronics.co.uk/product-category/inspired_energy/inspired-energy-batteries/n-series-batteries/). The [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) starts charging any compatible battery, either Nickel metal Hydride or Lithium ion Inspired Energy batteries, as soon as it's inserted.  The smart charging technology employed by the [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) means that it is the battery which dictates its charging voltage / current requirements and the [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) responds accordingly until the battery signals that it is fully charged - this means that any Inspired Energy N-series smart battery can be charged regardless of its voltage, capacity or size. The [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) can also operate as a battery **calibrator** which is activated by pressing a button on the front of the [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) battery bay.  This feature allows the [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) to exercise the battery over a full charge and discharge cycle allowing the battery's internal fuel gauge to realign itself with the actual capabilities of the battery cells - *clever stuff which can also prolong the life of your battery*.  Occupying a footprint of just 180mm x 122mm the [CH5050X](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) is a compact solution which fits comfortably on a desk or bench and it is supplied with a 24VDC desktop power supply and full instructions.   The [charger/calibrator is available to purchase on our website](https://accutronics.co.uk/product/ch5050x/) but don't forget to order your power cord as these are sold separately.
