The Dual V-Mount 6A Travel Charger from BLUESHAPE allows you to charge two V-mount batteries sequentially and features a 4-pin XLR power output. It's very convenient to use, featuring a carry handle and a rotating foot on the bottom for desktop use. This updated model of the CVTR2 charger allows you to use the XLR output as a UPS backup with a quick failover function, and it features a higher 6A simultaneous charge. It is also fanless to ensure a quiet charge. Batteries under 190Wh take less than two hours to charge, while batteries up to 290Wh can take a bit over four hours to charge to 100%.

The charger features a pop-out stand that neatly tucks away underneath when not needed. It can be powered via an included AC cable or the separately available BLUESHAPE In-Car Adapter. A data socket allows for a USB connection with a separately available 4-pin LEMO to USB cable to a computer in order to monitor charging activity and log battery data. The optional BLUESHAPE BSCVMON cable and maintenance utility are required for this, and up to four chargers can be monitored on a single computer.

This charger features a BLUESHAPE technology called IPCS (Intelligent Pre-Charge System) that allows it to provide charge at increased speeds to batteries with fast-charge supporting features, such as pre-charge protection and cell-balancing. IPCS does this by initially boosting very low voltage cells to a state at which charge can be applied with a medium-low current without causing damage. Then it charges with a 300mA current for a while, and when the battery reaches a reasonable voltage state, the charger speeds up the charging process by switching to full throttle. To counteract the increased heat caused by this fast-charging capability, the charger employs another BLUESHAPE technology called CTP (Charger Thermal Protection) that allows the electronics to work out the best possible charge profiles without causing damage, even in adverse temperature conditions.
