Is POWERSPORT a simpler charger than the MXS 5.0? It has only three lights while the MXS 5.0 has eight.
×
No. Both chargers contain an eight-stage charging programme, but they show this differently. On the MXS 5.0 a light shows for every step, and the voltage and power curve is shown above and below the lights. On the POWERSPORT we've chosen to reduce the number of lights and instead just show which phase the charger is currently in – Check, Charge or Care. However, MXS 5.0 is a more powerful charger than POWERSPORT.
