I'm very happy with this charger. I tested with my cheap voltmeter the final volatge and it seemed lower than displayed by the charger. So i tried to calibrate it :
Hold on "ENTER" and "-" button at while powering on the charger. The charger display something like this :
+00 VOL: x.xxV SAVE(ENTER)
Then plug in a battery in the charging plug and you can see the voltage detected by the charger. Now you can adjust it by pressing + or -
I just have to find a good voltmeter because i don't trust my voltmeter more than the accucel ! 231 people like this review.

Bought one as support to my standard field charger (MPX LN5014). Some of the features I like (vs old charger): +bright display easily readable in the sun. +balancer functionality with detailed voltage display of all cells. +faster LIPO loading without the final "trickle charge" +store discharge, memory etc. +nice set of connecting cables. +low shipping weight. -only visible drawback is the black housing, which will tend to get hotter in direct sunlight.

I ordered 2 of these chargers from HobbyCity, as I wanted a simple, easy-to-use charger for my Li-Po batteries. I found the charger very user-friendly, even though no manual is supplied with it. However, I have found a link to the charger manual here which may be useful to others:-

Having read it through, the Turnigy Accucel-6 has even more capability than I first believed just by pressing the buttons!! The balance functions work really well and much information can be obtained from the charger displays. This is a really impressive charger, all the more so given the price.
Thanks again HobbyCity for a great product!! 92 people like this review.

Nice charger, not so good discharger.
Good: 1) bright display easily readable 2) balancer functionality with detailed voltage display of all cells on one screen. 3) Memory for batteries 4) USB data collection 5) Many connecting cables. 6) Cheap to buy 7) Can be used with Twin pack charge lead to charge two 3s1p: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6569 8) Good, easy to use menu
Bad: (reason for 4 stars) 1) Discharge function is only so so. With a 3s1p you can discharge at a maximum of .5a and with 6s1p just .2a so it can take all night just to discharge a pack. 2) Fan makes a lot of noise, this is probably due to the charge's small size they had to put a small fan that moves a lot of air to cool it down. It is a budget charger with above budget performance, you don't need to discharge a lot of full packs get it.
Note to the review below, you need to plug in the power and balancing port at the same time to balance charge. 87 people like this review.

| You can balance charge two 2 or 3 cell lipos at the same time by using 2 of the balance ports. The (-) of all ports is common. Use the 2 and 4 cell port with the low lipo in the 2 and high lipo in the top (left) of the 4 port. Slice off the right hand key on the plug so it fits in the port. Use the 3 and 6 port to charge the 3 cell lipos. Then connect the cells in series and plug in. You could charge three 2 cell packs this way. Excelent charger 73 people like this review.

| That is great charger in term of value for money, try on balance mode to charge my 3S LIPO, after finish charge i use my digital meter to test, two cells was 4.20V and one is 4.19V. fantastic charger! only one problem is the cooling fan, sometime stop spinning, but it is o.k, if you have any grease, can open the fan and put on it and solve the problem. Don't miss the chance! 72 people like this review.

| Nothing yet was written about the balancer. The balancer is very accurete - each cell has the same voltage (measured with multimeter Metex) but 0,02V lower, than charger reads. So the charger shows 3,15 V at each cell after balancing, but really it has 3,13. But this is no problem and it is great charger anywas. Sorry for my english :) 50 people like this review.

It's an incredible price for the quality and the capability. Better than my Ultramat 25.
For information, the balance voltage (measured with a tuned multimeter) : 1 : 4.2108V 2 : 4.2032V 3 : 4.2007V 4 : 4.2048V 5 : 4.1870V 6 : 4.1863V
For information, the voltage has to be 4,2 ± 0,05V => [4,15 4,25].
Each cell voltage are ok.

Very good charger for the price, charges everything, has safety features. There is all protection, like short circuit, inverse polarity. It takes about 50 minutes to balance charge my HXT D9 G2 18300mAh 3S 20-32C lipo and a lot less to charge my NiMh batteries. 31 people like this review.

Best Cost/Benefit Charger you can get! I already tested it with NiCad, NiMh, Pb and LiFePo4 batteries, it works great. You can perfect ballance LiFePo4 cells with it! 29 people like this review.

EXCELLENT Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 5A Balancer / Charger These are excellent and very cheap chargers. I have two and now I buy a third charger. With them almost every day full LIPO batteries and work without any errors. Very good battery balances. Due to good Sat LIPO battery charger in good condition. Highly recommend Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 5A Balancer / Charger and deserves five points 28 people like this review.

Hi All, I wrote the 2 star review and was wrong. The Accucel-6 Charger works great! My buddy Richard told me to plug in both plugs on my lithium battery into the charger. I did so and I get battery charging and single cell readings. I guess this is correct? A manual and battery charging wireing diagram would really help. Thanks HobbyCity, Turnigy oh, and Richard too! 7-9-2008 Scott 22 people like this review.

| I'm amazed that HC can offer such a feature rich charger for this price! And not only is it a great multi charger, it even comes with a full set of output leads. 22 people like this review.

Agradeço ao pessoal da Hobbycity por ter colocado esse carregador a nossa disposição, trata-se de um equipamento que não deixa nada a desejar das marcas conhecidas. Produtos como esse devem ser sempre disponibilizados a nós, pois podemos confiar nos produtos que a Hobbycity nos disponibiliza e adquirí-los sem qualquer receio. Posso ressaltar algumas características como: - display que acende - facilidade de programação - exibição das informações de forma detalhada, bem como, informações individuais das células. Claro que ainda estou testando o produto mas sem dúvidas supre as necessidades do Hobby.
I am thankful the staff of the Hobbycity for having placed this porter our disposal, is about an equipment that does not leave nothing to desire of the known marks. Products as this always must be available we, therefore we can trust the products that the Hobbycity in disponibiliza and to acquire them without any distrust. I can stand out some characteristics as: - display that lights - programming easiness - exhibition of the information of detailed form, as well as, individual information of the cells. Clearly that still I am testing the product but without doubts supplies the necessities of the Hobby. 21 people like this review.

Works great for me. Accurate enough and has all the features I was looking for. I saved around $100 in buying this charger and it's working great. What a bargain! 18 people like this review.

I bought this because I've recently started paralleling 3s packs and I wanted the option of balance charging out of the 6s port. Also going to A123s soon. It has all the usual features of multichemistry chargers, but what I like the best is:
1)User settable NiMh cutoff sensitivity. I've been tearing my hair out trying to charge my camera NiMh batteries with another (way more expensive) charger. 2)Individual cell voltage display while charging. Great for identifying sick cells before they cause a real problem like crashing your plane!
My only comment is that A123 menu is within the Lipo menu so it's not a quick change between the two, unless you use the data memory.
