great charger but they did not provide any protection between the case and the touch screen so when i picked it up with my hand on the screen it broke so i got another off of ebay but otherwise great product

Consistently get 'Undetected battery or cells error' when trying to charge. Have tried dozens of different batts, same result. Also, the unit did not appear new. The box was torn, there was no plastic bag for the unit, and the screen had lots of fingerprints on it.

Would be a nice charger. If it worked.

This is a great little charger, easy interface, good information and works well. BUT please look carefully at the connections on the balance board, and make sure they suit your application. The connector to the charger is not available from HK. or anywhere else as far as I can find, so without even banana sockets available, custom charge leads have to be from one of the balance board outputs making the whole thing impossibly messy. Shame as otherwise this is a good product. (also applies to the X350)

Don't waste your money on this POS... having same issues with cell count failure on charger... works when it wants to. I bought it for the touch screen and ease of use. If it worked correctly it would be an awesome charger but it doesn't.

This charger is very user friendly. It works very easily and has features that are really cool like graphing as you charge...shows a graph as you charge for amps, voltage, and for temp if needed....I really like this charger I have owned it for a year now with no problems. I would recommend this product to my flying buddies at the field. two thumbs up HK great product at half the price of most other similar products of the same caliber.

So, hard to write this review. I ordered a pair of them. One is running - in one word: brilliant! Greatest charger for that money. Compact, stable, easy to use and well equiped with the external adapter board.

But then, i tried the second one. The 15A fuse on the adapter board was directly blown. After a few more blown fuses and exchanges with the first one, my summary was that the second main unit must be issue. The unit is running visualy fine, but there is a short circuit somewhere inside.

Sending the item back will cost me more than a new one. As a former electronic engineer, i decided to give it a try to repair by myself. I opened this lovely little guy and what i found was stunning:

Verry, verry bad solderings everywhere. Further, there is a isolator missing against the heatsink.

Looks like the item was repaired already - but in a very bad shape. I think there was no quality control at all. This may not happen in 2015! If it would be possible, i would give zero stars for the quality.

But in summary, i have one working unit and some spare parts. Will not open the second one to destroy my feelings. Not shure if i would buy some more of these chargers.

Received the X200 two day ago. Charged 3 batteries the first day with no problem. Second day charger indicating voltage or cell errors when attempting charge or discharge. Have determined that Deans "T" connector is making intermittent contact which causes errors. Batteries with XT60 connectors work fine. I need the charger to continue flying so am reluctant to go through warranty return. Very disappointed.

This is the easiest to use charger I've had so far. It does all the others smart chargers such as Accucel, HobbyKing Eco, Imax, etc., but the user interface is so much more friendly. I like the way the information is displayed in a graph while charging takes place instead of just numbers. I'm very pleased with this.

When I first received the charger it wouldn't power up and on checking the power input lead the connectors weren't making contact with the chargers input contacts, after I bent them out slightly the charger worked fine. The display is clear and I find the charging graphs a lot easier to understand than just a numeric display and so far it has performed faultlessly. The reason for the 4 Crowns for value is because I paid 60 for mine and it's now on back order but only 47!
