Default Charger with touch display ?

Hello,

I like to know if you guys have experiance with charger which have a touch display ? Like Absima CTC Duo.
Is the dust a problem for the touch display ?
Cause i not sure if there are problems if the vans transport dust trough the loader and the displays will not work some day.

There are two types of screens. Sonic and capacitive. Neither should be dust sensitive. The capacitive will be moisture sensitive.

I can't speak for any experience with touch screens on chargers, but I will say this, I have been using touch screens for years on my radios and recently tried to go back to a jog wheel and it was far too painful for me... it was like going back to a flip phone after getting spoiled with a smart phone, no joke! Anyway, I went back to my trusty touch screen radio just for the convenience!

In contrast I am using the iCharger 406 Duo right now, and while that charger offers every imaginable feature that I can think of... my only complaint is that it's not a touch screen because the menu navigation is absurd, it's by far the LEAST USER FRIENDLY charger I have ever owned

The next 40A charger with active IR display, Regenerative Cycling and Touch Screen will get my money!

As for dust, I would drape the charger with a towel when not in use and simply use a screen protector for a cell phone and periodically wipe the screen with an alcohol swab, this has worked for me with the touch screen on my radio for years

Dual Powerlab 8 Touch is the new hotness.
