IDX System Technology 2PLUS Reviews
12 Years and still going strong!
By StudioP
Rated 5 out of 5

I just found a receipt saying I bought mine in Feb 2011 for $620. Looks like they have got cheaper over time, but it has been worth every cent. The ability to charge and provide 12V power out at the same time has been a lifesaver on some jobs in the past. Hoping mine still has a few more years in it!
Spend more of the Simultaneous model.

These work great, they are work horses HOWEVER I wish I had just went with the Simultaneous fast charge model form the start. Yes it's 2x as much, but in the long run worth it. If only these models were simultaneous, but they are not.

We build custom charging systems and one of our Aerospace companies has us install two of these in their builds, I verified with them and it will work with no issues.

question
Can the IDX VL-2 safely charge Sony BP-L90A batteries, or is it only for IDX batteries? Thank you!
Yes it can...but I will mention that it has been my experience that Sony chargers work best for the life of Sony batteries and IDX chargers work best for the life of IDX batteries.
