Very clear all the way with explaining each detail. I wish everyone was as detailed as this. Leaves me with no questions, you have a new subscriber.
Peace!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it, more on the way :-)
Way better instructions in your video than the ones in the original booklet! Many thanks bro!!
Pleasure, that's why I did the video so it was clear in my head, once you get it, it's a doddle, cheers
I received one of these yesterday. I ordered it after watching this overview. I looked through my 'wire box' which is in a storage facility, couldn't find one with high enough voltage and all that. Then today I went into my boot for some things I had left in there and noticed an old Energizer rechargeable setup I've been meaning to bin. The power adapter for that? Perfect. 16V, 4A out. Amazing luck. :)
Hi Tigger's RC Reviews.
At 5:00 you speak about the charger being rated at "5A MAX" for current, and you point out you are using a "4A MAX" power supply.
That would actually be an error, as the supply has to AT LEAST be able to supply the Maximum the charger could draw, otherwise you may experience voltage drop on the supply causing undue stress on the chargers voltage regulation circuits.
IMO It's really important people at least gain a basic understanding of the differences between Voltage and Current ratings on devices before they start playing around with Batteries that can Explode!!!
I am new to RC hobby, but I have been doing Electronics since I was about 9yo, I am 39yo now, thanks so much for your informative video, but please make sure you're explaining things correctly, I certainly will be checking out some other videos too, to make sure I have the right info before I go buying things.
Cheers.
Having to connect the Deans as well as the JST indicates that individual cells are taking the combined current of all cells in 'balanced charging' mode. This will shorten their cycle life.
Perhaps the 'balanced wires' are connected to a simple 'top balancer' module that discharges a fully-charged cell (keeping it below threshold) while waiting for the others to catch up from the high-current charge on the Deans until the target serial voltage is achieved.
A true balanced charger would have 4-wire connections to each individual cell. Charge and voltage detection.
Oh ok
The balance charge lead does have 4 wires for a 3s battery and the deans connector is actually what enables the charger to connect a bleed resistor circuit to each cell as required. Hence, it is a true balance charger. As each cell reaches nominal voltage it can be kept there while other cells are finishing their charge.
I was unable to fly. I balanced my batteries and drained them with the storage feature. A few years passed. they wouldn't charge at the normal amp rate. It wouldn't start. I used a lower rate and it started. They came back, in perfect balance too. This is a good video. I don't have a bag but use a ceramic pot on a cement floor. I once saw a lipo set a car on fire. Went through the seat to the ground.
Glad you got them going and glad you enjoyed the video. Good and safe with pot and cement floor. I now use a tin box and or the bag. Cheers
You omitted a couple of key points
1. While charging and storage charging you can note the balance charging voltages for each cell this gives an indication of each cell life.
2. When charging several cells at the same time(parallel charging) you MUST ensure all the battery packs are of a similar voltage at the start
Just a note while watching this great video: Input (12v DC) is not "MAX 5A". It draws more current as it needs it and if you read it from the manual and it said something along the lines of "Max 5A drawn from mains socket" it means exactly that. Max amperage draw from your input source is 5 amps. :)
This of course means that you can use basically any power supply that is 12V and 5A minimum to charge everything at all amps. If you would charge at max power the charger can output and you had a 4A power supply. The power supply would cut out at 4 amps and the charger would turn off along with the power supply.
QckSGaming , you are not correct, the Imax B6 charger shown here in this video only charges at 5amps max or 50 watts. That is the maximum battery charge limit you can do with this charger. It will not draw more than 5 amps period. Hence why the lower cost. 5 amps is the limit of charging power for this model of charger, please read the manual.
Other more expensive chargers can charge your batteries at higher amps or higher wattage.
If this is what you need 5 amps maximum charge rate, then no reason to buy a higher priced charger.
I think you are, not wrong TheAarowsmith, but misunderstanding the previous reply. QckSGaming is simply saying that.. The INPUT ampere rating is 5 MINIMUM (not MAX), if you want to achieve the total charge rate capability of this unit and that any external power supply that can deliver 5 amp or more will be needed and be suitable (subject to connector polarity requirement).
Forgot to say.. 5A based on a 12v supply, 4A is suitable using a 15v supply
Should of read comments first lol
Thanks for the great tutorial. I was a bit nervous beginning the drone hobby because of the learning curve of the battery charging - this video made me a lot more confident. Thanks!
Hows the drone hobby going now 1+ year later?
@@thepenmen22 I regretfully sold all of my gear when I was in a tight spot financially. Since recovered and thinking about getting back into the hobby. I think your reply on a 1+ year old comment might be a sign for me to get back into it
Nice explanation of this charger, I just got one from amazon and it charged my 5000 mah lipo in 28 minutes rather than about 4 hours on my old charger
Thats really dangerous mate. In order to do that, you must have been charging at 10A. Thats crazy charging amps!! You shouldnt be charging a 5000mah battery any more than 2.5A.
@@JammoJay I bought one as well and in a lot of reviews on YT I saw ppl advice that we can charge the batteries according with their capacity, like it has 2500mah so we should be able to charge it with 2.5A, I'll research more now cuz I don't wish to damage my battery soon
This is the BEST video I have seen on this charger. Immense help to me!
Massive 11.11 RC Sale Bargains goo.gl/T2YgXe Checkout some great deals on this easy to use spreadsheet goo.gl/YSSs6m video on how to use it here czcams.com/video/JXv7dRFyGnA/video.html we all love a bargain :-)
Excellent video. Just thought I'd let you know that if you're on balance charge you can check each cells voltage by pressing the status button and it will show each cells voltage while charging. Your videos are always great and I've watched every one of them. Thanks
Well a big thanks for the comment and a medal for listening to me talking for so long ;-) And an extra thanks for the info on cell status, just makes this bit of kit even better, thanks again, more on the way :-)
Amazing video ! Bought my first RC Car, with 6500 mah Lipo 2S 50C, and fast charger. So your video was great knowledge for me. 3 things want to ask. 1) I already charged twice my battery on balance mode, but never heard BEEP or "FULL' on screen.. Voltage read 4.20 for both cells for few minutes and so I thought I better unplug everything or else I might over charge. Should I wait more, or whats wrong here ? 2) Can I charge it at 6A since I have 6500 mah battery ? Or even 5A ? Both time, I did at 3A only as precaution. 3) With fear of going below 3V low, I want to install buzzer or beeper in my RC Car so that I can stop playing with it on time. How to go about it ? Any video showing how to do this ? Thanks again
Glad it helped. This unit should not overcharge mine never has, I use it so often I would know ;-) You can only charge at the rate of your input, mine is 4amp. here is a video that might help czcams.com/video/vCiKpWnrpq8/video.html cheers
You can buy a version of this charger called the B6ac which plugs straight in to mains power as well as having the 12v input. I find it’s very handy to have that flexibility.
You have a genuine unit unlike all the fakes people are showing on utube.
I am looking into buying a Hubsan H501S and extra batteries and accessories and your videos always pop up in my searches and always answer my questions. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Hey Thanks Ryan, you the King :-)
What a great video on how Lipobatteries are explained and very thorough charging instructions. I bought this charger and love it everything about it is great I wish the alarm was louder though.
Thank you glad it helped and I appreciate your comment :-)
I have, almost, the same charger and its worked perfectly for 4 years now, oh, and it is not true that the B6 does not come with its own "mains" power supply, Mine does have its own AC power supply built in and I just plug it directly into the wall socket. It also has the DC input port that yours has. I think the built in power is the way to go and its just a few dollars or pounds more but worth it.
I have a old charged but it works, I am trying to charge a 7.4 volt 2 cell lipo for my traxxas 4x4. Any way this one won't let me balance charge unless both the main plug is connected and the balance plug is connected, is that normal?
Yes that's normal balance plug has to be connected
@@zingzing_media, thanks for the info!
12v only and you can use any amp power supply as the device only takes what it needs. Reason for this think of a car battery is 12v to anything from 80amp to 110amp in a standard car don’t worry about the amps as long as it’s above 5amp
7:53 do you buy the converter separately? What is the name of the converter?
You can use a notebook power supply that matches the voltage of the IMAX B6 from what I saw. In fact I
did buy the two (charger and power supply) just a few days ago.
Thank you for the tutorial. Just bought a new imax
Nice one Tigger thanks for easing my mind, have to say I was worried that I'd blow up my expensive lipo's or cause a fire, but your video has really opened my eyes to charging batteries.
Thank you so much. ... Roy H
0:27 I have that same exact "lovely little gadget", and it IS lovely! ...and the alarm on it is LOUD!!! lol
This is an amazing video, thank you very much, i learned a LOT! I watched so many videos about charging batteries and most people always miss some minor things but in your video I thought you covered almost every question I was asking myself! Subscribed as well!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and subscribe, most importantly glad you enjoyed the video and it helped, I'm new to this, well just over a year now but just wanted to share what I had picked up along the way to help others enjoy this great hobby to the max ;-) Have fun and look after them lipo's, thanks again
@@TiggersRCReviewsTTFN I put the battery to charge normally with the process you showed in the video and after 10 seconds it stops charging and throws me out and doesn't charge. I don't understand why this happens?😓
Now I understand what they tried to explain in the manual. Thank you
Small question, why I can only select max charge current to 1.0A?
Sounds like you are in discharge area then you only get 1amp normal max charge rate is 5amp
The grin on my face when you showcased your rubberband charge system. You really do find a reason to use them for anything, don't ya :D
This video is much better than the manual I guess it's coming with (ChinEnglish), I've got the B6AC V2 incoming.
Glad I made you smile, life should be full of them LOL Of course it's rubber bands...well how do you think Tigger gets his bounce ;-) Glad it helped, nice charger cheers
Just ordered the Imax B6 mini. Been toying with the idea for a few months but you have sold me on the idea.
Hope it works the same as yours as this video is replacing the instruction manual lol
+matthew hillman Hi Matthew, no pressure on me then LOL actually the manual isn't bad but loads of other stuff it can do and TBH I just want to charge and look after my LiPo batteries the easy way and fly more often. If you have any problems I will help if I can, it's a good bit of kit. Thanks for the comment
+Tigger's RC Reviews
Sorry to be a pest. If I wanted to charge a 1S 280mah battery, should I choose 0.2A or 0.3A?
I am trying to avoid burning my kitchen lol. Thanks
+matthew hillman Hi Matthew, not burning down kitchen is a very good move ;-) I charge mine at .3A just check battery does not get warm, I always keep checking, all my batteries, as they charge. Technically you should charge at a 1 rate but .3a is not even 10% over and I have never had a problem. If you have several 280mAh batteries I would get this lead goo.gl/AkxBBK. Hope that helps
Great tutorial but my I-max didn’t come with the deans lead I had to buy one separately of which the company I bought the I-max off ended up paying for as all my batteries are deans. I’ve had the charger sat since Monday and I’m waiting for it. I’ve not been able to charge my lipo’s and run my cars I’m very frustrated with it all!! 🙈
Thank you for this video, you fully answered any questions I had and the links in the description helped me the trouble of find this ( PS I did a quick search and the prices were way more the the ones in the links)
Best explanation yet!
"mark on table" 7:37 :)) I thought my monitor is dirty
LOL screen wipe with every click through LOL cheers
Say, can teach me how to charge a heng long lithium ion battery? The long black colour stock battery.
Like,what are the settings..
Thanks for this really helpful video! I have a question, I have installed SkyRC ChargeMaster and it requires to set both Charge and Discharge amps. I understand how to calculate the charge A of my lipos, but how do I know what the discharge A is? Can you help me?
Glad it helped I have not tried the Chargehmaster I have only ever discharged at the rating of the battery ie 500mah discharge rate 0.5a my charger will only discharge at a max of 1.0a anyway. I very rarely discharge with it as it takes for ages I just run the battery out on a quad or car ;-)
i left my lipo full for over a year and its fine. used it and it worked fine and first time i charged it the internal resistance was weird. but after few cycles it was fine
Very nice video. My genuine SkyRc IAMX B6, is on the way from Banggood. I've been watcing lots of videos and have a question -
After charging, say 2, 1-cell 350 mAh batteries at 0.7A, will the charger "buzz" a sound when they are finished?
Thanks for this. I just got one of these from a coworker for $20. Just got a used Typhon 6S.
Spot on. Everything. Used an imax for years.
Very informative man! I bought mine and the seller always say that i will refer to yt vid on how to use it.
Thank you so much for posting , this is the very best , clear explanation on CZcams !
I recently started practicing with simulators and I've bought a couple of quads you recommended though I've not had much chance to fly them due to time of the year over in UK. Do you ever get motion sickness when flying, I can only last 20min at a time on the simulator before I need a break. Love the content, keep it up.
hen you say over in UK, I live in the Highlands of Scotland, no we have real weather up here LOL I have never tried a simulator, so can't comment on that. I haven't suffered from motion sickness and don't ever fly for solid 20 minutes with goggles, line of sight yes, but that is a totally different experience. I would say you are OK with it and unlikely to fly for that long when you get to fly outside. glad you enjoy the channel, hope that makes sense, happy flying when the weather breaks :-)
Thank you so much. I needed this video bigtime. I would have never figured out how to start the thing...or how to figure out the amps!
Spot on glad I found this clip I've never used a balanced charger before. But have had to buy one. So I know how to use it THANKS MAN. Will the charger work with a balance board?
thanks man ...!!!! you are awesome 🙂🙂🙂
Loving that comment, thanks glad it helped :-)
I have one like this and everything works except, charge in balance mode and balance battery . Work couple seconds and then on the screen at mah shows 0 and stay like this hours . In simple mode charge in series reach's at the end, but in balance mode charge or balance battery do nothing . You tasted yours it's ok ? Thanks
Just got this charger. Thanks! It helped
Kool, still use mine all the time, glad it helped
Great tutorial brother also I like the elastic band idea to . Well done 👍👊👍👊
Thanks for the video, the level of detail was perfect
for what I needed to know
Pleasure
How do u know when it's finished charging
ever figured it out?
It beeps and stops.
So should I balance the cells before I put the battery into storage mode?
Dear sir, when im charging my 1000mAh 20C 11.1V battery on 'the Balance charge mode, it shows
Li3S 0.3A 12.60V
BAL (time) 00023
how come it doesn't show 1.0A on the screen?
is my battery dead?
great info.
Does the charger actually alert you when its finished charging the battery?
yes it beeps really loud, you can hear it from the 2nd floor in my house and the screen starts flashing "fully charged" or something along those lines
Great video just purchased one of these you have been a big help thankyou
Hello, thanks for this quite informative video. I've storaged my mavic air drone battery with a very low voltage for about 2 months, I think it completely ran out of charge now it doesnt even charge when I plug in the original DJI charger, is there a way I can recover this battery, using something like a balance charger, or is it gone forever?
at 13:04 you stop the balancing before showing the voltage values of the individual cells. How would it look? I've heard, that the ones with higher voltages (the one that will be drained) start blinking. With my imax b6 (40 euros, amazon prime) that does not happen....all the cells just seem to change voltages randomly up or down every few seconds. starting values for my s5 balancing were 4.05 3.93 3.90 4.20 and 4.01. after 120 minutes it ended saying 463mah have been transfered and the new voltages are 3.95 3.93 3.87 4.21 and 3.93. what could be the explaination?
Hi, sorry not come across that one and have no idea why it would not balance charge, hope you get it sorted, that battery sounds all over the place
Great, you give all the details most other ignore to mention.
Thanks for your video it was really helpful!
Do you know if there are multiple chargers (like the ones for the 700mah batteries) for the big ones which have the yellow plastic connector (3000/ 5000mah) ? How many of those batteries would be okay to charge at the same time ?
How do I know when the battery is charged?
The charger beeps and it says Full (on LCD)
Why do you have to connect the battery to two ports. meaning one for the deans and one for the smart charger function. If you do a balance charge shouldn't you disconnect the deans ?
Just the way most good chargers work, I assume they can throw more power to it through the deans(main) cable(good gauge cable) and then balance using the balance cable, just my thoughts. BTW it wont charge unless you have deans(main) cable attached ;-)
Great video, last decent RC I had was a Traxxas Summit so I know nothing about these New Lip batteries.
This has been my frustration with having so many drones. Storing all the 3.7v (single cell) batteries. I only have a couple of 2 cell. Never sure when I would be flying each drone again? They can sit for a long time. If I did not "storage" charge them - OK if they were left as NOT fully charged? Again, most of mine are the small 3.7v JST plug type single cell ( 150 mah - 600 mah)
Amazing video!! To charge outside what kind of 12 volt battery you recommend to use?
Great video, I have some LiPo batteries for my Yuneec Q500 drone, they are 3s /11.1 volts. I left them charged for several months, didn't know I should have put them in storage mode. what should I do NOW? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I would just run them(fly them) and see what happens you usually lose flight length, I've done it with some of my Typhoon H ones, not the end of the world, happy Yuneec flying :-)
Does this charger stop charging once the battery is fully charged
Why does the voltage increase when discharging in storage mode??
Hi Tigger, when using the multi cable for charging the single cells (all150mAh cells); do the cells have to be at the same state of charge before charging or very close to each other?
Is it possible to over charge any of the cells. If I’m charging 4 x 150 mAh cells I would set the charging current to 0.6A ?
Yes they should all be around the same level of charge. You can only over charge a cell if they are at very different levels of charge. Hope that sorts it for you. Always be careful with charging any lipo, search YT for Lipo catch fire for the scary stuff. Cheers
Thanks Tigger, I have a Lipo bag and I use the temperature sensor I made on the battery when charging with the Imax B6. I’ve learnt from watching your videos great stuff.
Hi Barry, That's good and glad to here it, cheers
Good info on Charging Mate ❤Although I would encourage Everyone to do their homework on LIPO CHARGING BAGS as some are useless. There are some demonstrations of this on CZcams by user "Angry Zeppelin" Not all Lipo Bags are SAFE❗
Lol @ the mark on the table! I thought I had a spec on my ipad and tried wiping it off lmao!
so happy with it. that I ordered another one. one for the car and one for home :)
Yep that's what I need to do, keep carrying one from motorhome when we go off, much easier to have 2 :-)
+Tigger's RC Reviews yep. i got my chargers on amazon UK for £24.99 a pice with p&p and ofcause its legit with hologram and serial number for that price I see no reason not to get 2 ;-)
yep, I may try a different one, just to give it a try, and may review, if I get the time, but two is definitely the way to go, have fun and thanks :-)
At 11" I took a pause coz' i thaught my washing machine somehow turned on. But, i guess it was yours.. 😅 btw great help with this tut!
Though that was only me 🤣🤣
Great video man. Just one question. When you want to store your battery, you suggested to just go and fly the drone to lower battery. What happens if you fly it for to long and therefore you need to charge it again for storage. Do you still use the “Lipo storage setting”?
Yes. It will increase or drain the cells as required.
Great info Tigger.
I use the same charger for all of my LiPo batteries.
The one thing you've taught me in this presentation is the storage. I knew about it, but was NOT aware of when to put them into storage mode.
When I get home they will all be placed into storage now!
They were fully charged about 6 days ago.
I use an old military ammo can as my "safe" box for charging. When I go out I have a small plastic "pencil" box with shipping foam to hold my batteries. But the ammo can still comes with me if I'm out for more than one flight. Especially since my flights are done in my back yard. :)
I made my own 1-5 adapter for my 1S's. Question: would you recommend to store 5 at a time with the adapter? Or do them individually?
Thanks again for some great info!
+Del Quad4X Took me awhile to understand the storage thing but I haven't had a cell go down since I started looking after them properly. Like the ammo box idea. It would get passers by a little worried that you are flying a drone LOL I can see you in combat gear next...OK I have finished now.
I personally run them down on quad and then storage separately I then know everything is good ;-) and you can do it while watching archive Tigger Rc Review videos :-))))
+Tigger's RC Reviews LOL
Funny you should mention the combat gear ... in cold weather months I generally gear up in my military camo. It is much warmer than anything I could buy retail. :)
+Del Quad4X Funny old world I went into a shop for camouflage gear looked everywhere and couldn't find it...........Now you hate me LOL
+Tigger's RC Reviews lol
So does the storage charge discharge the battery to 3.8 or charge it to 3.8?
How do you know if the charge is completed?
介绍的很仔细,真心谢谢你,也解决了我的一个充电错误
Whats the difference between this unit and the B6AC V2. You said you shouldn't use the battery once the voltage gets below a certain point, how do you know when you're flying your plane when to stop?
And how do I know when the battery is done charging ?
Answered this several times, always good to check other comments ;-) it flashes full and amps goes to 0
Tigger's RC Reviews sorry ! I'm lazy 🙂 thank you so much though
No problem, I'd do the same, good bit of kit works well, cheers
How do you know it’s full? Or just stick it in there for an hour ?
Great video. May I know why discharge rate for storage can’t go beyond 1.0A? Thanks.
just bought this charger and a couple of 2S 2200 batteries, and wanted to put them on storage charge, but when I did so the voltage just went up from 7.57v until the charger pinged and said the battery was full. Is this correct or do I have a problem?
Storage is usually based on 3.8v per cell so that's pretty spot on ;-)
Do you put the charger in the fire proof bag also ?
Great video!!! So helpful putting the battery that i own as an example! I just bought the eachine racer 250 mini quad and this balance charger looks great for me. Thank you!
+John Collier Hi John, glad you enjoyed it and it helped. This is where I bought my one goo.gl/3SaJEY great piece of kit for the money like the Eachine Racer ;-) Hope you thumbed up and subscribe, if you haven't already. Thanks for the comment and happy flyin'
Hi Mr T, what adapters do you recommend to charge AA batteries and AAA batteries with the LiPro?
Great vid BTW
Hi, glad you enjoyed it, I have never charged any AA or AAA using it so really can't advise on it, hope you get it sorted
I'm assuming you mean rechargeable ones because recharging standard aa or aaa can go bad. I would get a separate nitecore or similar charger that's built with cradles to hold the battery and proper safety and voltage checks for those cells. You can get 4-8 bay nitecore chargers for $15-45 and they are great quality. imrbatteries.com has a great selection as well as battery cells too.
I am having an issue with this charger. When I try to balance charge my 3S LiPo the charger detects that it is 2S? Has anyone has this issues?
Hi Tigger, no-one seems to have a video on how to wire the outputs of the iMAX B6 V2, to charge a Hubsan Drone's LiPo 4200mAh 11.4v 47.9Wh battery, since it has 3 cells and 4 wires. The IMAXacB6 has 3, 4, 5, & 6 outputs; but the iMAX B6v2 only has a 6 pin conductor plug, plus the (-), (as well as the + and - output). I can't seem to find any videos or manual diagrams on what the balanced outputs would wire to, on the Hubsans' red, white, white, black wired cable. Any Idea how I should wire it?
Where can I buy a female T plug to EC2 female connecter for B6 charger
How do you know when it's done charging?
It makes a noise and the amps drop to zero
How many amps should I charge a 11.1 lipo at 1200 mah
Awesome video very clear and informative
Very nice. Fantastic instruction and description. Thank you.
I’ve got a Gens Ace 14.8v 5500mAh 45C LiPo battery..
it’s fine to charge at 5.5A isn’t it?
Booklet doesn’t really explain what is safe etc ... only what everything is.
I would like to charge my Soshine 9V 6F22 Li-po battery with a Imax B6 Mini. Need advice on the 2 cells socket cables for the balance socket. How do i wire it to the 9V 6F22 battery. I have no idea how this goes. The li-po battery only has a plus and negative, no wires sticking out.
How to you know the amount of charge? My old charger shows a % fuel.
My 3s are showing 4.0 each right now, but the charger in your video shows 11.1 V
Will this connect to a EC5 lipo battery?
Please tell me mate what does smart charge on this charger do??
hi there,need HELP, ive got the imax b6ac v2, and every time i go to charge it keeps saying BALANCE CONNECT ERROR the battery i have is a 4000 22.2v,can you please help ,THANK YOU .
I assume you have connected the balance charge cable, that's the only time I have come across this error
Great tutorial Tigger, It was very helpful for me. Many thanks and greetings from Christchurch, UK.
+russpeed1 Pleasure glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful. Christchurch I remember taking the kids there for Tucktonia model village.....OK ask your parents...maybe your grandparents LOL Know it well used to live just along the coast.
Well I think you mean Tuckton, dont recall a model village though, however I haven't lived here very long. I walk my dog there quite often. They have the Tuckton Tea rooms with a crazy golf course, perhaps in yester year it was a model village. Hmmm I will research it.
+russpeed1 That's why they called it Tucktonia ;-) goes back to the 70's and 80's....crikey there were people then! LOL loads on google about it, think there used to be a go-kart course around the area but we are going back a looooong time. Enjoy your RC's :-)
Yeah you were spot on, I did a wiki on the place and it closed in 1986. Apparantly after the council refused them permission to build a roller coaster. Blimey you learn something everyday. There used to be a "Pontins" holiday camp here also Lol.
+russpeed1 You see not just the odd RC review site this one, you get local history tooooo, you don't get that from Flyin' Ryan or quadcopter 101 LOL maybe that's why they have so many subscribers hmmmmmm ah well I'm not changing really enjoying the CZcams community :-)
It is 5A out not in the higher the amperege your power supply can deliver the better but you need that to charge the batteries on a maximum of 5A!
