- Here's my recommendation for a great RC RTR Upgrade charger for Lipo, LiHV, Life, Nicd, Nimh, etc. batteries. The ProTek RC Prodigy 610ez is just that - Easy and Quick at 100watts to the single channel charger.

Finally someone who explains instead of posting a picture of the product and just talking
Glad to help out! Thanks for watching!
Nice review, thanks. I have owned this charger for 2 months now, my son liked it so much he sold his and bought one. I especially like the ability to store 10 charge/discharge profiles and it does charge at a true 10amps, something many entry level chargers are incapable of. I use it to charge my LiHV racing batteries and works great! The charge leads are short though and only includes Dean's plug so, I had to go out and buy an extra charge cable. We will see about durability. Overall, very impressed 👍
Nice! Thanks for the comments Jerry and the clarify on the 10amps. I hadn't tested that yet.
Thank You !! For this 'Tutorial' . I am not good at this kind of stuff and you made it simple.
Glad to have helped!
I would really like to see reviews of an expert level multi-port charger using a DC power supply. There are so many entry/inexpensive chargers out there.
Good stuff
Thanks for stopping by!
looks like a great entry level charger.
humble rc thanks for stopping by, buddy!
@@TheRCNetwork anytime rich
On the unbalanced lipo charge profile, there is no selection for more cells, because it sees it as just 1 big cell due to not having a balance lead on the battery. Not many folks have unbalanceable stuff,but for those who do it's good info,,or confusion reigns. I have some prototype batt stuff that does not have balance leads. Backup charger is a Revolectrix for double checking. The Protek keeps up and is just as accurate. Watch the Donjiu ac cord that's included. One side of the ac cord reads 250v 2.5 amp, the other side reads 125v 7 amp. If your on 110v,, make sure the 125v 7amp lettering is facing up.. the 250v should face up only if you are on that voltage. Run the cord out and make sure you are putting the plug into the strip outlet the right way., the same direction as the others on the strip or outlet. The Donjiu cord DOES NOT have 1 spade(ground) on the plug that is wider for US outlets.
Great info - thanks for watching!
@@TheRCNetwork No problem. This charger is also known as the Lectron Pro lipo charger. Different sticker,,same charger basically.
Rich welcome back man..
Thanks buddy! I'm always here...just don't upload as often as I did
Hi . after i 've seen this video i boght one.but in the charge mode ..only....i can't change from 1s to 2s or 3s or more. ..and when i save a profile of tipe of batery..and then when i load it ..it didn`t work ..the only function thats work is the balance mode..can you show this functions on the video please thanks.
Thank You 🙏 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow 10 AMP that's awesome. You can literally nuke your battery. Fast charger for sure.😎🤘🏻
Just say no to nuking batteries! Thanks for stopping by!
How do you know the lipo is done charging?
It will chime
Before I buy... I can't find... 1. What is the difference between STORAGE and DISCHARGE ? 2. Can the voltage cut-off when discharging be set to what I want (3.8 v / cell) ? p.s. Great Video
Storage either discharges or charges to a safe medium voltage of 3.85v per cell . Discharge will obviously discharge your battery to either cycle that battery (charge/discharge) or get it down quicker for storage.
The HRTC C150 is a good charger too. 10amps at AC
I looked up the HTRC - it looks good, just not too keen on buying things from places like "BangGood" 😉
I like that the ProTek line up is from Amain - if you have an issue, give a call to Chico, CA
@@TheRCNetwork you can get the htrc c150 from amazon, all they have are good reviews. They also have a touchscreen version for a little more money.
OK I know this is like 2 yrs old but you stated that the protek 680 is more powerful at 8A and 80W of power when this one is 10A and 100w?? sorry but i'll go with this one..
How I know when battery are fully charged
It should chime
I got a problem!! Battery Check: Balance DLTA V??
Wait so if ur charging ur battery and it gets done does it automatically turn off
Yes, it should slowly trickle charge at the end to get a full 100% charge...then chime to let you know it's done
how am i supposed to connect the charger to the battery?? ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/6400mAh) w/5mm Connectors (ROAR Approved) to the ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger (2-6S/10A/100W) battery has bullet connectors but cant seem to find anyone that has connecting cord for this??.....so they make a charger that dosent hook to there own batts??
You'll need a charge lead like this: www.amainhobbies.com/trinity-2s-pro-charge-cables-w-5mm-bullet-connector-black-tritep2402/p868591
That lead will plug directly into your battery and then into the charger, no other connectors needed. Keep in mind, the 610 is an entry level charger, where you're using race level batteries, they're not going to be directly compatible
Does this charger turn off automatic when the battery is full
Yes, it does
Would you be interested in making another budget rc build like the first series that you made? The $80 kit that came out to be around $250 complete build would’ve been great but it isn’t possible to get that kit anymore.
I have considered it...just need to find a platform that hits that dollar amount
The RCNetwork Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully you can find something. I looked around and haven’t seen any kit that would fit into the budget category. There was a Baja style kit for around $150, but it jumped in price once all the parts were picked out. I’m new to this so I have no doubt that you could do it cheaper.
I did an blog article response to that series on my website after they sold out. There's two options - look into HobbyKing - they had a couple of options, but you're up against issues with part availability. The other option would be to buy used, like a previous gen model - like a Team Associated B6 or B5 or the TLR 22 4.0 - those can be had as a roller for about $100 with quite a few upgrades and already dialed in. Just some thoughts
Does it charge 1s lipos?
Ok don't laugh but I got this to charge my receiver pack for my nitro Revo. Along with my EZ start battery pack. I am trying to figure out how to set this thing to charge those. Rec pack is Ni-MH 1100mAh 6v and the EZ start battery is a Ni-MH 2000Mah 7.2V. I know this is overkill but I plan on getting into more powerful Electric RC so I will need a good charger anyway. So if anyone could put it large Crayon for a total RC and Charging Newb I would be most appreciative.
Nimh charging is pretty easy - just plug the lead in, set the mah and hit charge
I've had this charger for a few years with no complaints. But I recently got an axial crawler rtr that came with a 2s 350 mah lipo battery. How do I adjust this charger to 350 mah? Does this charger only go in increments of 100 mah?
Thank you.
You should be able to adjust the mah down to that level
@@TheRCNetwork I tried. Only increments of 100 mah. I called Amain and they said to charge at 300 mah.
@@TheRCNetwork of you know of a way, please let me know. Thank you.
@@GeorgieBud2020 yeah, I’d play it safe and just goto 300
How will you no when your battery fully charge up I just got my first rc and I got my stuff charging up now does anybody no
It will beep at you
@@TheRCNetwork does it shut of by itself
I still use my hitec x4 ac/DC
Wow! That was my 3rd ever charger - It was a great charger, but I never really needed more than a 2 port charger even racing 2-3 classes
The hitec works well when I go to the track I run 2 classes amd my 3 boys are in rc too it fits the suit well
Ahh, there you go!
I believe Hitec makes these chargers for Protek/Amain.
How do I know if it started to charge my lipo battery??? And how I know when it is fully charged up????? I started the charging but is stuck on battery check:balance dlta v ..
Did you actually "start" the cycle by holding it down? When done, it will give you a chime
I am currently using an Imax B6ac. Its ok at charging but takes hours and hours to do lipo storage. My 2s 4500mah lipo took around 6 hours! 1amp max in storage mode. How much better would this charger be at storage charging/discharging? Looking for a decent charger under $100 that must be able to take 220v
The hard thing for nearly every charger on the market (especially AC/DC) is discharging....even my Team Orion Touch Duo ($250) at 5amps takes forever to discharge for storage.....this one is likely low as well
@@TheRCNetwork Yes it is. I'm currently cycling a new LiFe 2S 6.6v 1800mah pack at 1.8A and it always hits the safety timer at 240 minutes when discharging to 3.3V. When I check the voltage after, it's still at 3.31V per cell.
Is this a true 10 amp charger? I know that a lot of the AC/DC chargers can only output 5 amps when you charge on AC
To my knowledge, yes, it can charge at 10amp / 100watts
Yes, charges at a true 10 amps, at least with my Protek 4900mAh LiHV pack.
I have the Prodigy 680 and used it 7 times only, after one and half year the touchscreen doesn't work, I lost my charger that is like new... so sad about it...
Did you try Amain to see if it might be under a warranty at all?
@@TheRCNetwork Only 1 year of warranty, I didn't try
Mine won’t connect to my battery alll of a sudden ?
Won't connect or won't read on the charger>?
The RCNetwork charger displays cell connect error
Check that all of your wires on both the battery and wire harness for the charger all intact. Then verify that your charger is set up for the right chemistry, mah, voltage, 2s, 3s, 4s, etc. If there's still an issue, your battery may have dropped below a minimum voltage, or dropped a cell. You can check with a voltage checker made for Lipos
Not good for me if not have charge % info
Understandably.....but most chargers do not include a percent....just the current status in V/mah
Anyone realizes that all of them have four buttons and same port placement
With the exception of the touch chargers.....many of the chargers are similar in format
