    The fact that it charges two batteries simultaneously (without a parallel charging board) and that it can charge my phone is awesome! thanks again for having all these awesome giveaways!

  • @kelvinwolf225
    @kelvinwolf225 Před 5 lety +1

    Things awesome! I love that it charges phones wirelessly because I can put in this drawer thing under my desk and charge my phone on top of the desk and batteries right under. Thanks, Albert

    @GroundControlRC Před 5 lety +1

    Looks like a good charger. I have the SkyRC D100 which has most of the features this one has, although, lower wattage on the charger. I love the chargers with the two independent charging ports. Thanks and Happy Charging!

    Smart charger like this would be a huge upgrade from my current charger. Lots of great features that would allow me to monitor battery life beyond just charging.

    Being able to charge in the field is a plus. But also the ability to charge my phone as well while I am in the field is a sweet feature. Thank you for this review.

  • @malnatisdiecastandrcs3408

    I love the fact that u can use this with AC and DC gives u the option to charge at home and in the field! I could really use a hobby grade charger. Thanks for another great review! The wireless phone charging option is pretty cool also!

    I watch like 20 videos when I'm working on quads haha.

  • @paulnewton6238

    Built a DIY 24V supply out of 2 $25 server PSUs and run the non pro - DC only version off that. Can charge two 6S 5000mah lipos from storage to full power in under 20 minutes. Definitely will do 15A per channel as long as it isn't exceeding 300w. I think with the 6S batteries I hover around 12-13A per channel, everything else is the full 15A.

  • @chapz8627

    @nerdCopter Před 5 lety +1

    +1👍 i love that it has a plug rather than supplying your own power supply!! (also love the dual charging. i would not need to charge 1 at a time at 33 minutes each like my 80w charger)

  • @bmolzen
    @bmolzen Před 5 lety

    I have the D2... the 12 amps per channel is limiting for the days you want to charge all your batteries. The extra 3 amps on the Hobbymate would help.

  • @garrettchristian8270
    @garrettchristian8270 Před 5 lety

    Hey Albert,
    I see what your saying about the wireless charger for the phone not being really needed. However it could be useful if your using that charger out in the field on an all day event. You could charge your phone while you fly. It wouldn’t be something I would want to spend extra to have, but could still be useful. Seems like a really nice charger.

  • @ncbassmix
    @ncbassmix Před 5 lety

    Looks like a solid charger. I like that you can use this in the field unlike the ISDT and I can wirelessly charge my android phone at the same time. Definitely going on my wishlist.

  • @peculiarcloud
    @peculiarcloud Před 5 lety +1

    Thanks for the review. My biggest concert about all these chargers is how noisy they are. How does this compare to the ISDT D2 (with two smaller fans instead of one big on the D6 Duo)? I hope they can resolve the fan being on all the time with a firmware update because that's just nuts.

    • @AlbertKimTV

  • @ladypotatas

    I love this charger as it allows wireless charging! And also it has 2 channels!

  • @Imakilln
    @Imakilln Před 5 lety +1

    Could you please clarify what the 'Discharge ext' function does? Ie is it a regenerative discharge mode (ie discharge the battery plugged into the front into the battery plugged into the rear) or does it simply discharge the rear battery into an internal resistor?
    If it is indeed a regenerative discharge mode this might be my next charger!
    I have been using a dual channel icharger knockoff for years simply because of it's ability to do regenerative discharge - when I finish flying for the day I regeneratively storage discharge all my charged flight packs into the large 24Ah pack I take with me to charge from and being dual channel allows be to discharge both 3s and 4s packs simultaneously.

    • @AlbertKimTV
      @AlbertKimTV  Před 5 lety +1

      All I know is that it discharges the lipo used for input power in the back. I don't know how it is doing that however.

    • @zeroair
      @zeroair Před 5 lety

      Albert is actually incorrect in what the "Discharge ext" function does. This is for discharging batteries at higher currents than the device supports INTERNALLY. So you connect a battery to be discharged at, say 15A (which is the max), *through an external load* and perform the discharge test EXTERNALLY. Max per channel is 325W, and it's possible to do both channels at that power (so, 650W total).
      The manual says "The recommended load resistance is between 1.5 and 2.5Ω." and you'd need that to be a high power (or cooled) load I imagine, since it'll get hot at 325W. Too bad no one seems to show how to do this.

  • @ng-iq4kx
    @ng-iq4kx Před 4 lety

    The external discharge isn't for discharging the DC battery. Plug a smaller 2,3,4 cell in and discharge that into a bigger, say 9 or 12 cell battery plugged into the DC port. Discharges a lot faster. Just make sure the bigger battery can take in the charge.
