Faulty, but they will not accept return. Product not mistreated in any way, but it still failed 1 month after I received it. Impossible to repair at home as case is very difficult to remove. DO NOT BUY FROM HOBBYKING!

No USB port, but cheap 8cell charger

Mar 01, 2017

Does the job but a few issues. First there is no USB port on the one that i got. Furthermore it won't stop charging when I charge a 7s lipo pack on balance. It will stay on 0.1amp for hours. That was not the case with my previous charger. Changing the chemistry type is cumbersome. I could not push the voltage to charge LiHV. Does 150Watt max. my 7s pack won't go higher than 5.4amps (which is 150Watt more or less)

Please advice, did i get the old model??

Very good quality charger.
It doesn't say anywhere, but you can calibrate this charger by pressing simultaneous on "ENTER" and "-Dec" then power on the charger...it will enter in calibration mode.
Measure your LiPo battery with a good quality voltage checker (I used a Fluke), then connect your LiPo to the charger and increase or decrease the voltage on screen using " " and "-" until you reach the voltage measured by your voltage checker.
I hope I was clear, I'm not a native English speaker.

My two have worked perfectly for about two years.
Compared to Accucell 6, which I have used for about five years: Much bigger; no balance port for 2S; screen much bigger but same number of pixels so not very clear; two pages of V per cell readout so takes longer to get back to front page (while charging Li-Pos); annoyingly, the power cables for connecting to the battery are at the opposite end (of the charger) to the balance ports and the power supply cables are at the same end - silly and not quite so convenient.
Fans are a little noisy on occasions.
Lots of power - that's 6.7A for a 6S battery!

when charging, LED Segment is distorted so, i can't read it.
except it, it is good.
I guess when temperature is rising the problem comes up.
and i told hobbyking staff but his mouth shut-off, no reply.
what do i do?

I have FOUR of these chargers and I have to say they have been excellent value, being used every weekend for 5 years, mostly charging 6S 5000 at 5 amps (and 3S 2200, and 2S 2000, and 1S 370). I have now changed to a new system that will charge six 6S 5000 at once from a bigger power supply - those big 12S Helicopters are such a pain!.

My only complaint is the fans sometimes make a little whining noise until they warm up but a gentle tap quickly quietens them. (This is common with small cooling fans I have found)

So, they cost me $60 each and after 60 months use they have well and truly paid for themselves. That's about a dollar per month and they aren't finished yet!

Great product - comes with a useful selection of leads. I only added one multi adapter lead for Tx NiMh battery.

I have had this charger for over 2 years and it still works great. Other than one button falling out that was easy to fix with a little CA I have not had a single problem. I would recommend the charger for anyone that wants a good charger at a good price. It gets a lot of use for Life and LiPo. Use it to charge Lead Acid field box battery too. Also started using it on our 12 volt gel-cell field box battery that was made for a ATV.
