If I had a dime for every time someone's channel covered a charger and everyone rushed to order one,I would be rich. I will continue to use what I have. It's been faithful for 5 years and counting.
I recommend no matter what charger you have you do not use the discharge setting. 1st it takes forever and a lot of times you forget your working with a lipo. 2nd the unit gets hot which will degrade the charger components over time. I find it best to just plug it into your air craft and run it down a bit closer to storage letting the motor run about 1/3 to half throttle. It takes far less of your time and its much safer all around. Once its down closer to storage you can leave it at that or finish getting it to perfect storage charge on the charger.
I started with a Prodigy charger from Flite Test. Added a Venom Pro Duo, now I will have two double chargers so I can be ready for the field in less time! I like the big, digital screen.
I've been using it for years to charge 8 Lipos at 2C (on 2 separate paraboards) simultaneously at max power with a big power supply, it's great ! Much better (reliable) than the ISDT crap that always end up bugging in the long run.
What is the average life space or cycle span for battery’s I realize every battery’s different but at what point should I be saying this lipo is no good. I’ve never got rid of a battery and some fly like shit and some with like 30 cycles fly fine. Can someone explain the things to look for when a battery is no longer “good”
Just retired and getting into the hobby. I'm interested in purchasing this charger. I need advice on what adapters and/or cables are needed to charge an E-flite 7.4V 280mah 2S 30C Lipo Battery: PH Planning on getting the kids and grandkids into the hobby! Thank you for any help, its much appreciated.
Hey guys, enjoy your videos. I have a Toolkit M4Q smart charger that does what I need, but the balance plugs won't stay in unless I put something heavy in front of them. I know it's been a few months, but how are the balance connectors on the D6 Duo Pro? Is there enough tension to hold the balance leads in? Really appreciate the help!
Question. I want to cycle nimh batteries 6 cell. I use a turnigy reaktor now, i can program it to cycle 3 times and discharge down to 6v and charge it back until delta v is reached. This charger doesn't seem to have that function...is there something i am missing
I have a connector for the back xt-60 to clips for a car battery but mine does not work when connected to a car battery not sure if I'm doing it wrong can someone please tell me how to run this charger from a car battery please
