Received mine no problem and ordered a geekcreit AC 100 - 240v to DC 12v 5a 60w convertor. Only $6 on Banggood, turns this into a nice home charger also. Much cheaper than the AliExpress AC adaptor for nearly $70
1:19 usb port - for upgrading firmware or charging usb device ;)
That certainly packs in the features to a small package 👍
Nice to see your still about Grandad been a while since i've watched one of your videos
@@sparkles9868 hey thanks, feel free to watch as many as you like, every view is appreciated. I don't do the sort of videos that CZcams likes to push so it does get a bit quiet over here 😆👍
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Why not ask Colin Furz to give you a hand with some videos he has over 8 million subscriptions and even been on Alan Titchmarsh and other TV shows
@@sparkles9868 I do what I do. I am not trying to compete and I am not interested in commercialising my videos. As for number of subscribers, if you ask any CZcams channel what percentage of their views come from their subscribers you might be very surprised at how small that percentage is. It is probably in single figures. Of course 1% of 8 million is still 80K views and I don't even get 1% of my 80K subscribers. Such is the wonder of CZcams,
handy bit of kit
Hello, dear Andrew!
Please check the charging mode of the lead battery Pb.
Is the charging voltage set to 14.4V and 14.7V?
Is it charged only up to 14.10 or is it charged as installed up to 14.4V and 14.7V?
OK?
4:25 "big bitchin' battery" :)
Well it is big.
Hot wire cutter power control hmmm . good idea .👍 thinking about getting the istd t6 charger. Wondering even though i have no 8s batteries . should i just get the
t8 Which is 1000watt 30amp vs. T6 which is 780 watt 35 amp. .?
It does not charge. Under no circumstances. Maybe defective. Brandnew, tested with two accus and ToolkitRC P200. Charges with 0,03A only, although one accu is empty. Btw: You really should drink some more water!
Is it possible to have regenerative discharge? Or does the energy just blown out into the atmosphere?
Just swap the batteries over I guess
I have the M8 charger from Toolkit. In the setting menu there is a discharge option. There you can choose either internal or recycle. Recycle should not be used when using a bench power supply.
The main thing I don't like about this charge is the capacitance touch
screen can be a bit infuriating to use... as there is no tactile "bump"
or "dot" to know where the button is like if you're in the dark or
swiping blind... and sometimes you have to swipe rather than push. I
always seem to press too high or too low for enter or go back and end up
pressing the arrow keys.
Also, the pop out feet seem rather
fragile and you always forget to put them down, blocking the fan. It
would of been better if they put the fan exit on the back, or put 4
rubber bump feet on all four corners underneath to support it off the
surface for clearance for the fan. Otherwise, it does what it was
meant to do.
To get the $22 price, you have to buy it as a group buy from the mobile app on Banggood... otherwise it's like $31.
Great review, they got my money
Thanks Andrew. Is it also capable of charging through the balance ports only, or must the power leads always be connected to the battery being charged? (Obviously it's faster with the power leads connected, but I have some batteries that don't use T60 and I don't mind charging them slower through the balance port only).
Unfortunately not possible. It can see when the XT60 is not connected and will not charge.
Can the USB be used as power input? 12v 1.5A from phone fast chargers should be enough for small batteries
NO, just for charging USB devices
@@AndrewNewton oh, then the power supply will be as expensive as the charger itself.
Handy 👍
Hi, can you check what is the lowest discharge voltage sellection setting for li-po and li-ion ?
Don't have this anymore
Hi Andrew...How long did you practice before recording this? Looks to me if you need a university degree to operate it... Good job again.
Ha! I did have to run through it a couple of times.
2:57 Voltage on 1 and 2 cell.
3:46 Voltage on 2 and 3 cell.
You reconnect balanser wire, and do it bad?
Correct. Well spotted
I have issues connecting balance port to this charger. Its brand new from box. Balance port would not fit in the slot. Have you faced this issue ?
Mine fits easily, but the pins inside are very easily bent. Make sure they are all in line
slide the virtual scroll wheel!!
does this turn off and alarm ehen charging is complete?
cheers
sod it, thanks for the link time to get one
I had already seen a basic review about this and got impression it was just a charger.
Thanks to your review I am very impressed but can you plug a servo tester in to it and use that to power a ESC ?
Probably could but not a good idea. You would have very laggy control over ESC signal
@@AndrewNewton Thanks for replying
Be careful!
After updating the firmware - the charging mode of the Pb batteries began to work incorrectly!
Thanks for the warning
Which version did you upgrade to?

See the description of the problem under the video!
I'm legit first....
So happy for you
Go work on the homeslice 3.0 :D @iforce2d
@MAD GRUMPYMAN ...Lol🤣
Can it step up the voltage?
Damn, I cut that out by mistake. Yes it does, I'll upload that clip.
@@AndrewNewton thank you
I like that! Pricey?
Cheap as
The problem with the M6 and M8 is charger, which it balances during the entire charging cycle. This is not necessary and therefore the charging process takes much longer. You can see it, if the cell number is highlighted, then the voltage value is frozen during balancing. Li-Battery packs that are connected without a balancer will not be fully charged. I can not recommend the device for charging. The device should charge without balancing until the battery is almost full, and then balance. This is what all my other chargers do (ISDT, HOTA, ...). I do not use the device for charging, but only as an adjustable voltage source.
Thanks for that. Good to know
