Thank you for doing this. Such a geeky thing but I appreciate that you put in the time. I have had to refer to it several times as I am a newbie with my son and this hobby is far more than just plug and play. Well done.

[@ShyamRavii]

Very helpful video! Thank you for making it!

[@ragsixracing]

I like the equipment reviews👍

[@zaczimmerman2598]

[@ThompsonWoodworks]

Thank you, that was a big help!

[@bartbbb1046]

For the price, you have a good little charger. The menus really look like the Sky Rc ones.

[@ShenRC]

👍Looks cool very futuristic looking... nice showcase.

[@RazorRC]

thanks Shen!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool charger,great overview

[@RazorRC]

thanks

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Neat little charger, perfect for the average basher 👍

[@owen8538]

Can you lower the cut off voltage on that

[@angrylad8561]

Can you buy separate battery adapters for it, like IC3 battery (orange connector)

[@Cuisinenomade1]

How do you charge a 2s 450 mah? At 0.4 amps? Thanks

[@enriquerogel345]

What’s up with the bal port

[@meters-br5cn]

great charger and 100W 10A is available now.

[@chris-ip4pk]

Just bought one cheers for telling us that

[@meters-br5cn]

@@chris-ip4pk surprised! how do you feel about this charger then?

[@brayanlopez4836]

Is this charger safe to “forget” to disconnect after fully charged?

[@joshuamartinez9419]

Wht r da bottom row numbers and how do they go up

[@meegssan5716]

Doesnt seem to charge my scx24 batteries

[@MauzyrockRC]

Would you know why a shorty 3s lipo 2200 would have one cell charge faster and discharge more slowly than the other 2?
2 cells are @ 3.8 and the third is 4.8
Not sure and both packs are like it...

[@RazorRC]

pretty much means that third cell has gone bad

[@ReturningtoYOU]

mines is stuck at check ball port I've tried everything

[@The8429]

I’m guessing they’ll come out with a dual charger

[@RazorRC]

Would be cool. Something that could do 150W on two channels on AC would be a killer charger!

[@LawrenceTimme]

This is ok upto 4s but a bit weak for bigger 4s or 6s. I prefer 150-200w chargers.

[@RazorRC]

yeah, more of a 4S charger than a 6S. but can do 6S at a lower amperage if needed.

[@TattedTommysTv]

Mine worked well when I first got it now all it says is check ballancer everytime now and it's brand new I wouldn't suggest anyone getting these

[@youmee4996]

can you tell why when you choose CELLBAL you only go up to 4.10 v/cell but if you choose CHARGE you go up to 4.20 v/cell ??

[@RazorRC]

GA says to use CHARGE, I don't really understand why, but it will go to 4.2V and they say it also is balanced.

[@ZeuZLoD]

@@RazorRC Yea I was confused when charging my 6s lipo as well with this. I used CELLBAL and all my cells were at 4.09. Switched to CHARGE and they went to 4.2v across all the cells. Im assuming that CHARGE is a balanced charge considering all my cells were identical. Then, whats CELLBAL then lol? Confused I am.

[@ASCIIDOS]

I have this query, does cellbal fully charge too? Or am I doing a cellbal then a charge?

[@trailerpark187]

So when the battery is full will the charger shut off?

[@brayanlopez4836]

It kind of does, but I’m still wondering if it will damage the battery while plugged in after the charge is done, the charger goes into a different mode when it’s finished charging

[@trailerpark187]

@@brayanlopez4836 I got it figured out. I'm new to the real RC world. I started with a traxxas ID charger, just a plug and charge. But this one has some much stuff in it. Just takes awhile to het used to it. But mine says charge done and shuts down. The screen does stay on though.

[@seanm5106]

When balance charging the charger seems to stop early and not complete the charge. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

[@AkagiPro1]

Same here it stops early during balancing at 8.2v for a 2s pack I don’t know why? Should be 8.4v ??

[@dragonheart5316]

Charging in CellBal mode means the charger only balances the cells up to 4.05V per cell or 8.10V total voltage for a 2S. You need to set it to CHARGE if you want it to fully charge the battery (2S 8.4V) it should balance also. I have one, and looked at my manual.

[@AkagiPro1]

@@dragonheart5316 thank you for the response am just used to other chargers which can balance to 4.2v per cell when using the balance mode.

[@seanm5106]

I eventually stopped using my Gens Ace imarsiii after it overcharged my 3s lipo. Luckily I was there to stop it before it got to 4.35 Volts per cell

[@trailerpark187]

@@seanm5106 so this charger doesn't stop automatically?

[@joshmarauder]

Does it stop on its own?

[@RazorRC]

yes

[@vietdragon5610]

it have safty on it Nice that way when you charge if you sleep and for got to take it out or something you dont burn down ur house i guess

[@aarondodson1261]

There is no option for lion

[@vietdragon5610]

i dont wana to burn my room just because charge if charger dont have safty it it really dangerous it will kill people like instanly

[@chris-ip4pk]

Whaaaat

[@remainsmemories626]

Soooo..... Just another IMAX b6 copy?... Your review, however, was pretty good

[@RazorRC]

Thanks. The B6 is only 50W, so can only charge a 4S at about 3 amps. This can charge a 4S at a full 5 amps.

[@fredbloggs7345]

Next time show the display 😡😡😡😡

[@RazorRC]

Huh? The display is right there.
