Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like Tmj ✌️
Excellent tutorial review video. Great charger. Thank you Captain Steve for sharing it with us.
Thanks for the stickers 😄 have a blessed New Year 🙏.
Happy New Year
great review Captain
i use the Gen Ace imars dual ... it is awesome ... so this is a must
Cool Cap!
Well done Captain!!!; sort of got the tech side of this review!!!, only due to the fact that I still rely on my Smart Powercharge 100 for my Inspire battery's !(keeps them healthy and alive !!!!) have a great New Year!!!
I like the set always great information
Wow, that is one intelligent smart charger. Sweet review Steve 😅
Good afternoon cool video nice review
Wow 😳
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the price of this charger Steve, as usual you did a top job with your review, cheers to you and your family for the new year ahead.
Happy New Year!
Good review Steve. I got 2 mini chargers the Toolkit M4 and the Isdt 608PD also got the Mobula 8 analog drone witch I have messed setup.
One should never just plug in lipos into a charger AND WALK AWAY. Please new RC people, do not do that. Stay in sight of your charger when you charge lipos.
You're so right, I usually duck, roll, and run away.
I think every lipo, lion battery in the world comes with that recommendation. Most humans don’t stand and stare at their chargers for hours on end, unless of course their meds ran out. We all charge batteries and then work on other things within the same room area.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 you aren't lioning about that. After I duck, roll. and run away. I leave my battery changing bunker. Then go right over to my fireworks shop and get my other hobby going on.
Thanks for heads up. Purchased a fire bag too
Nice review! The G-Tech technology looks similar to Spektrum smart and ISDT battgo!
With News Eve coming and popping champagne, what is the best drone to fly? 😂
The best would be a drone that flys you home after a nite of New Year’s Eve partying
@CAPTAINDRONE798 very wise Steve. I have just installed a return to home button on myself, but I didn't think about how?
This or the Skyrc D200 neo?
Cool looking charger. I have learned to respect the power of lipo batteries. Over the past 5 years in the hobby, I've only had one issue while charging a battery. But that was one issue too many. Scared the living you know what out of me. So I customized a metal ammo box to use when I charge batteries so if something happens it's contained in that box.. so I usually charge while I'm watching TV or something and the charger is about 5 ft away from me. One time about a year ago I started to smell a funny odor and heard a sizzling sound. I jumped up unplug the charger grab the ammo box and ran out the front door and got it away from the house. I really didn't know what to do, so I let it sit there for a while before I open the box. When I did all the cells had swelled up a ton. I'm not sure how far away this was from possibly blowing up. Maybe someone can confirm this but I was told to put the battery in salt water and that would discharge the cells. That's what I did then disposed of the battery. I would love to see a video on what to do when you have an issue charging a battery. I will say i have allot more respect for lipo batteries since that issue.
Good call on the battery!
Another great review! Between this and the SkyRc Q200 Neo, which one would you choose?
This one is ONLY amazing if you buy the compatible batteries, otherwise it is just a normal two port charger.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 great review. Since you say it's just a normal dual charger if you're not using the g tech batteries, which charger with this power would you recommend? For 300watts it seems like a good charger and value even if you're not using the g tech batteries. Thank you for the great content
@@LegendsPizzaCoUsing this with GTECH batteries is great because you also get the benefit of the battery self discharging itself if you leave it unattended for a week. If you want an everyday charger with no added features then have a look at the SKYRC, ISDT and TOOLKIT RC brands (I’ve reviewed the good ones on my channel).
an intelligent charger shame i'm not, if it doe's the job better and quicker plus two at a time i'm all for it and the prise very good great going to buy one review again Steve. { and a happy new year to you all}.
Happy New Year
Hello Captain Drone,exelent content love ur Chanel,.
Can u please do a review on the budget drone TSRC Q8..thanks and happy new year..from Baja California Mexico..
is there a power on/off button? or do just unplug the power cord?
Just unplug. Most battery chargers work in this way.
I got drone for Christmas and a r c rock crawler
Enjoy!
I just had a lipo explode started fires thru out my kitchen be aware but dont be near it if it explodes it was a spectrum 4s 14.8 volt 2200 50 c .i was in room next to it it caught curtain on fire melted my electric can opener caught some other stuff on fire .PLEASE BEAWARE . HOPEFULLY you wont be near if a battery explodes
Lucky you caught it. Usually they get hot then hiss before they pop. Lipos catching fire while being charged are always from one of the following:
- damaged battery causing a short
- incorrect number of AMPS select
- incorrect cell end voltage selected
- incorrect total voltage for number of cells selected
- defective battery charger (doesn’t stop charging when end voltage achieved).
I had a battery fire not long ago. Check out my video: czcams.com/video/UgNjGMXNsc8/video.htmlsi=quzIpGWTvE5-8lss
Fimi x8 pro,,are you uploading this month?
Does it only show the ohms with Gtech batteries or will it display the resistance with other types of lipos as well?
All batteries
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks I have been trying to confirm that.
Just bought two of these. I cannot find information regarding internal resistance either in the menus, nor the manual. I'm using Zeee batteries. Any pointers how to get to resistance testing? Thanks
@@squarebody4546 Did you try scrolling down on the screen?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes. Cannot find. Just sent message to Gtech/GensAce trying to confirm if it's supported or not.
My current charger maxes out at 3.2amp per channel when charging 6s batteries. Will this charger save me any time by being able to charge a 6s battery at 5.5 or even 6amps using the wall plug…?
Yes… if you increase amps you reduce time
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I ordered mine and just for the cell balance function it is well worth it to add to my arsenal.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 will this charger accomplish this…?
@@itzjoeylo4501if you wish to charge batteries look for a charger with plenty of watts per channel. 100 watts per channel is typical but it is low. 200 watts per channel is better, and anything above 200 watts is great.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so with this charger, one 6s at a time in the combination of both channels for 300watts, correct?
Hey I’m considering buying a Mjx 18 drone but I don’t know where to buy it and I’m having trouble trusting bangood
RCGOING has the MjX B18 PRO at a very good price, and I know from experience that they're excellent to deal with.
@@hopsta5628 thank you for the help, I looked everywhere I’m just a little skeptical of new websites
Never had an issue ever with Banggood. Fast shipping, products were new, sealed. Good pricing.
How do you parallel charge on the D300? Every time I try to parallel charge on it it will display an “Output voltage error” and ask me to confirm. After confirming it goes into idle mode and remains there until a different command is imputed. I’m attempting this under the “charge” mode on the dropped down function menu and making sure I impute correct amount of amps (times how many batteries I’m charging) and the cell count of the batteries (wish remains the same) Thanks in advance for any help…
Parallel charge? Do you mean you have the unit plugged into AC power and you have batteries of the same voltage and mw all plugged into a parallel board, and that board is plugged into one channel with balance cable? Or do you mean SYNC charging… using two ports to charge one battery?
First one. Using parallel board. Not sync charging.
@@tenzenortiz5106 bit of an old reply but the parallel/sync charging mode is for physically bridging the two outputs together, not related to using a parallel charging board on a single output.
Anything wrong with Traxxas lipo batteries and their ID chargers?
Yes. If you have not noticed, those chargers are “dumb” chargers when they come to charging none Traxxas batteries, and further, Traxxas batteries have no balance plug so you can’t easily charge them on everyday chargers.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 We’ve got 4 kids, all have Traxxas vehicles, 2S Lipos, and two double ID chargers. We race every week at local tracks. I think there’s a hidden balancing cable in the Traxxas lipo battery plug, but the plug looks the same as those without. For safety, I just tried to standardize and simplify the process so everyone could plug their battery in and the chargers recognize the battery and adjust their charge settings automatically.
3 rd yr no stickers man , did it the first day also
Boo hoo
As long as you included your correct address and the correct answer, and did all of that before the cutoff date and time then you should indeed receive stickers. Go back and check what you sent because there were around 50 people who totally screwed up their submission and we could not send stickers to them.
I did not get any rc 😢
Did you write to Santa?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes but I got coal 😀
