IDX System Technology 2PLUS Overview

The JL-2PLUS is a compact, two-channel, sequential multi-chemistry fast charger with a built-in 60W power supply. Up to two NP-Style batteries can be charged in approximately 3 hours. The primary use of this unit is as a charger, and you can charge batteries or use it as a power supply, but you cannot do both simultaneously. The charger includes a removable AC power cord.

Portability
The JL-2PLUS offers a lightweight design (3.3 lbs) with a convenient built-in handle.
NP-Style Mount
The JL-2PLUS is designed to directly charge NP-Style batteries. Since the NP-Style mount is one of the most common battery mounts on broadcast and professional camcorders, IDX has adopted the design to help fit that need.
Condition Indicator
An LED condition indicator is offers a quick glance of each battery's charge status.
  • Red (charging)
  • Green (complete/trickle)
  • Orange (battery fault)
  • Durable Construction
    An all-metal case construction ensures that the JL-2PLUS will hold up under the harsh rigors of location shooting.
    Multi-Chemistry Design
    Any combination of battery chemistries can be automatically charged with the JL-2PLUS.
    *Any one of the following battery chemistries can be used:
  • Li-Ion (Lithium Ion)
  • NiCd (Nickel Cadmium)
  • NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)

    *NP-Style only

  • Memory Effect
    This is a simple charger that will charge either Ni-Cad or Li-ion batteries, but it does not contain charging protocols to drain the batteries before charging. Ni-Cad batteries should be drained to the proper voltage before charging to avoid the memory effect.
    Power Supply
    A standard 4-Pin Canon type connector is available on the front panel to provide 60 watts of DC power via the built-in power supply.
    Worldwide AC Power
    As with all IDX chargers, the JL-2PLUS's power switch is recessed to prevent an accidental loss of power. A worldwide, auto-sensing AC power (AC 100-240V) operation is standard.

    12 Years and still going strong!

    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.

    question

    Can the IDX VL-2 safely charge Sony BP-L90A batteries, or is it only for IDX batteries? Thank you!
    Asked by: Christine
    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.
