I have the t400 and I’ve even used it to balance charge and revive a few Milwaukee power tool batteries and bring them back to life, they are a really good line of chargers!
I was literally asking myself "hmm what's a good lipo charger I should get"
And here you are with a video on one of the recommendations
👉🔮🤣
I love my charger, and I bought it cuz you recommended it and knock on wood it has worked great . Thanks Guy!!!!
*Good Video* 👍Thanks!
This was the first charger I ever had. It worked great for about a year before one of the channels went out. If you attempt to charge on channel 1 it shuts off until you turn it off and back on. It's now the charger I take with me. This video is great and made me remember that I can increase the wattage on the channel that still works which I hadn't thought of doing. Thanks Guy. 👍
Smart batteries have center pin on the IC3 connector for data. It tells battery telemetry to the charger/device. This is similar to what DJI uses on their drone batteries.
Just had a issue with a battery that would not charge on my Ballance charger. Put it on my non Ballance charger and it charged low cells finished it with Ballance charger. Saved the battery.
Ps have you opened that charger box some have a fuze inside.
Guy I have the c240 version. Its been super reliable and I've had it for 2years now using it all the time👍 Another brilliant entertaining video Guy👍👍
Great review I just purchased one to go along with my venom duo charger that's been taking a little longer to charge then usual. So decided to get one of these cant beat a duo charger with touch screen at that price.
I love my t240 duo, bought one last year after seeing how good it was on your channel 👍
I bought the HTRC T400 love it great charger. Started looking at them after your last video really nice chargers.
That's a lot of info bro but thanks for sharing! Especially for people newer to the hobby like me
For me the Best of the Best batery charter i have the T240 for about 4 year and a T400 for One year and are the Best 👏👏
i got that charger. i love it. i never plead off my protective one that came with it. great 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this. Great looking charger!
Thanks for the Review, looking to get a new charger and this charger is one on my list, tis helped make a decision on this one. Subbed Ya!!! Cheers!!
When you going to Rip the XRT man your killing me here Guy lol :P
🤣😜😂
The more often you charge a battery higher than its 1C rating the quicker you reduce the life of the battery. For example: that 7200mah battery 1C charge rate is 7.2A.
Awesome👍💯 good info
I use that charger too it's been great sometimes fan makes noise have give it a smack and it goes away
I have the push button model works great for the donuts 🍩 definitely recommend it.
i have the exact same charger. love it.
I'm going to get one in two weeks got alot of new RC cars and going to need the charging power
One time I put in Chinese by accident I couldn't figure out button for language ( I don't speak Chinese)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love mine as well t240
I have that charger for spare and bring out and for charge at 10A on 4S 14.8V you have to use the DC. Not enough volts on AC since you are using 150W instead 240W. Maybe 2S or 3S you can charge at 10A on AC mode
Yes💯👍
The best charger I owned
Is it normal that the T240 seems to lift off while charging a NiMH at 3-4A? Had to put it in the attic because of the noise, though I rather want it in sight...
I like dual chargers. I have 2 so I can charge up to 4 packs at once. I was thinking of getting another one, but haven't because 3 of my batteries have dropped a cell so I'm down to 9 packs. Maybe next spring I'll be in the market for another charger when I replenish my pack supply! 🤪👍 For the winter I wont be running as much.
Smart thinking
@@rcguygarage I've seen those venom quad chargers, but I've never looked into them to see if they are worth getting. In theory it would be great to charge 4 packs with one charger! But I'm not sure how well they work, or how long you can expect them to last. I have a Spectrum S2100 dual charger and 2 3s G1smart packs, and 2 4s G1 smart packs. My other charger I picked up from my LHS is a Ultra Power UP200 duo that I got when I first got into RC a few yrs ago. 3 out of my first 4 pack that I bought died, but my 4 smart packs are still going strong, and the 4 Gens Ace basher packs i bought are still going strong! For me it seems like spending on better quality packs makes more sense for longevity. But I guess it all in who you talk to because I've heard horror stories for everything. I killed my first packs with terrible driving I believe. But bad crashes take their toll!
Is this powerful enough to charge 2 large mah 4s batteries. People on forums keep telling me 75w per channel isnt powerful enough. I was considering returning this and getting the T240 duo or the gens ace lmars 300 which has more power than the T240. Im just trying to understand if the c240 or t240 has enoufh watts to charge 2 large capacity 42 batteries in a timely manner. Thank you
You have to keep in mind if you're looking for performance you have to pay for that buying these types of chargers aren't necessarily designed with nitrous charging in mind if you get my drift. It's that old saying if you want to play you have to pay. You also need to think about how things charge in a sense the slower you charge these batteries the better off you are in the long run because it hurts the packs less. I myself am not concerned with that so I charge everything at the highest rate possible and just deal with the consequences cuz I just don't have time for that. This might not be the answer you're looking for but it's the best I can give you. I'll leave a link to one charger You might want to look at below. This is from Ovonic and I've had some fairly good success with how it charges
amzn.to/49f5VIo
try to used back the AC i think it will work again..
He was so impressed he bought the company.lol.✌️
Free chargers for everyone
@@rcguygarage 🙃😆
The T240 is the BIGGEST POS I have ever purchased! As documented in a LOT of videos elsewhere first Channel One resets when you start to charge as if you have just turned the unit on. Then the kicker for me was not being able to go to Channel TWO to even use that as the touch screen is stuffed also. (And at this point NO the screen has had VERY LITTLE USE!).
🤣😂🤣 tough break I guess
So do you like HTRC chargers better?? then the other charger you just got from that other company? I know u recently did a review on it, and i know in your own opinion 😆 😂. I have been using this company chargers for awhile, it’s my go too😉👍🏽💯
It's an oddity because I see a certain benefit to the other charger that this one doesn't do The other one is more newer and updated with software when I've noticed it seems to push power to one side more than the other and that might be dictated by what the battery can take I haven't exactly figured it out yet. And the other ones scream is smaller but more visually brighter and sharper because it's not a touch screen
Guy day to work on xrt video today the run will be I can way tow see it be good day for you in all fo your hard work on xrt is will be a good videos to watch good job 👏
I had one of those and it pooped out on me. I loved it but choose to go a different route the next time
You may have it set to charge at 10 amps, but it doesn’t have enough wattage to charge a 4 cell at 10 amps. Sure, it’ll do a 2cell at 10 amps but for each additional cell you add, the wattage can’t supply enough power to charge at 10 amps. This is where this charger falls short. A higher wattage charger will do larger packs quicker due to being able to charge at higher amps. As far as how many amps to charge at, you need to know the charge rating of a pack. A 7500 mah pack with a 1c charge rate should only be charged at 7.5 amps. Charging at more amps than the pack rating will decrease the life of the pack. Hope this helps
So basically what you're saying is leave it at 10 amps and I'm safe 👍💯 obviously I'm going to have to watch that once I start pumping DC full power to it 😜 💥🔥🚒
@@rcguygarage haha well if you have say a 5000 mah 2s pack with a 5c charge rating, you can go ahead and charge it at 25 amps!! You just multiply the first number by the charge rating. Or the first two. So a 7500 mah pack with say a 3c rating would be 7.5 x 3 = 22.5 amps.
@@Sixbillion1 come on guy This is the struggle of the poor people 🤣😜 I honestly don't have any need for nitrous turbo chargers or packs I'm just out here to have some fun probably just like you but you're at a different level than me I'm just a regular guy who drives a pickup truck and shovels dirt for a living
@@rcguygarage haha nah man I’m just a blue collar guy in the auto refinishing industry. Just trying to offer some info on the subject of wattage vs. amps and how they relate to charging packs. A high wattage high amp charger will charge up multiple 6s packs in like 10 minutes.
I used to be really into boats which drained packs very quickly, so having a capable charge setup to get packs done quickly was a thing.
Anyways, carry on 👍🏼
I'm glad you're taking all of this light-hearted as that's exactly how I mean it some people can't take my type of humor
I have the button one i love it
I have some 2S batteries that only have JST connector. Will this charger charge them by only plugging into the balance board?
I need a dual charger I’ve been looking at this unit I love my HTRC single.
The t400 that I have is a very good one as well
@@rcguygarage thx 🙏🏾 guy 😎
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using HTRC C240 battery chargers manufactured by Shenzhen Haitan Technology Co. Ltd. because they pose a risk of serious injury and death.
😂🤣 c240 vs t240
I personally charge at 20 amps. Some of the guys I race with they go up as high 30 to 40 amps
Nice but you must be into racing so I guess that's what matters So even the batteries that I use are garbage to someone like you I'm assuming 🤣😂😜 and no don't get all bent out of shape because you think I'm calling you a Starbucks coffee drinking primadonna cuz that ain't the case
@@rcguygarage I'm a budget racer I have few decent packs and bunch of cheap ones also. What the old timers told me they train their battery packs if that make sense. No idea if that's possible. What they told me they do they charge them at high rate and discharge at high rate for like 10 cycles before they even use them. I've been doing this for 2 years now even on the cheap packs but I never leave them unattended. Oh I'm a badass racer only time I don't finish last is when someone breaks down 😂
@@RacingTheClock see! It's good to have a sense of humor👍💯👊
@@RacingTheClock yes training nicad batteries was actually a thing back when I actually used to race RC but that was in the early 90's 😜
anyone swapped from the older style button charger to a touch screen, what do you think ?
im looking if i should upgrade my 2 older button style chargers too a single double charger thx
Guy can you help me out I have the t240 dual battery charger I accidentally deleted one of my profiles.
Can you explain simply to me how I can get that back possibly.
I did subscribe and hit the bell thank you.
Keith
All high end battery chargers are made by chinese companies they will just be rebadged for usa . The gens ace imars dual and d300 are made from a chinese company so are venom and sky rc and all high end chargers. Milwaukee power tools and all apple products are made in china btw.
@@jalee6587 and so is Ford Chevy Dodge🤣😂🤣
There is a newer one ht400.
Yes it's on the bench with the others👍💯
Hey guy, you should check out this charger HTRC T400 Pro balance charger on Amazon for $126 I own this charger and it's Awesome 200 watts and 400 watts
I have the 400 and it's great compared to that traxxas charger
@@662SSIPPI Yeah I love the T400 pro
