The charger has a very intuitive control screen, it is easy to set up (even without manual, at least for technical experienced users).



The plugs are well-made (4mm bushes for battery wires and 6S balancer plug with JST XH-connector), there is even a small breakout board for variable balancer plugs (2s to 6s) in the box.



The fans are silent in idle mode, as long as the temperature is not >39C. If it rises, they start to turn and are a bit squeaky but not a big nuisance. There are two ~40mm fans in it (one each side).



There are multiple charge- and analyze modes, balanced charging, quick charging and so on. The charge/info screen is very informative, shows every neccessary information on the very good touch screen. Touch reaction of it is without hassle, quick and even working with thon gloves.



It is possible to create battery profiles and save/load those, which is a big plus.



The "long-time" graphical diagram display works very good in terms of informations at one glance on the screen.



Now to the cons: There are small disadvantages in terms of the internal build quality: Some wires are a bit short cut off, some solder points not very accurate and/or well attached, but overall it could be ways worse. The AC power PCB which delivers around 16V DC to the charger PCB is robustly build, possible shorts of contacts are prevented by plastic covering/shrinking tube, so not much to worry about if one just wants to use it.

Good product, but needs firmware update.

I only can select English, the other languages are disabled.

Also, when finished charging, the fans are going slower, what is normal, but it keeps spinning slowly.

When you pull out power cable, and plug it in again, then noise is gone.
(or maybe this is a setting somewhere to turn of fans afther charging?)

But, anyway, it is a good product, and does the job.

This is the charger the world has waited for! There are big signs on the product to read manual before use. Forget it! It's so simple to setup! With 200 W it's also very powerful and the price is really fair! This is a "must have" for every RC fan! Thanks for engineering this wonderful product!

First, I had a problem in the storage and discharge modes, indicating broken connection.
Now, my charger X200 indicates, in the storage and discharge modes, the double of the current, also double discharge (mAh) and the double of the power.
I had bad luck with these charger.
