I've been using this charger for six months now and i love it.
Charges everything and without hassle.
Requires a REALLY big power supply - 500W doesn't cut it if you want to charge anything above 5S.
Balances my 4S fast as lightning.
I can't se myself with another charger in a long time.

Ive used this charger for a week now, and all i can say is wow, its not my first top end charger, Ive also got the icharger 3010b (1000w), and the Fatboy8 balances my older lipo's far better.

Ive never had a problem with how the icharger works, but the Fatboy8 IMO, is just better, the key thing here is the way it balances, it seems more accurate and it does the last few pcnt of the charger much quicker.

I've looked at the software up loader and I have the latest firmware, I've down loaded the PL8 software but cannot confirm if it works yet.
Anyway full marks from me.

Received one Fatboy charger few days ago. Now I tested It and works flawlessly. Charges like the Powerlab8, it's the same charger. Takes no time to balance all cells with 0.007 volt of precission. Regenerative discharge is also good and the internal resistance measurement feature it's very nice. Very recomended to perform safe and powerful parallel charges. Two 700 W server PSU in series for 24v do the job!. Very recomended and well built.

I bought two on these two months ago and I use with 24V.

So far these operate flawlessly. The programing is very easy and the power is awesome.

By the time I prepare my two airplanes 4 large batteries are charged and I can fly all day without having to wait.

Some to their features can not be found on any existing charger today, but the most impressive is their ability to regenerate a dead battery. When I say dead I mean really dead! For example my friend had a 3C Lipo which he forgot on his airplane with the switch on for 2 weeks. It was not reading anything on any meter. My Hat Boys gave life to this battery and it is like new, we just couldn't believe it but it is true!

Strongly recommended product!

Good news, people. At last, we have found the "Fuel Level pcnt" screen in this charger. To see the screen, you should create new charging profile for any battery on any empty memory cell and you would find this screen among others. I just can't understand why this screen is not seen from any default charging profiles.... Anyway, using this charger for 5 month and it works perfect. Still, 2 x 6S (3,500mAh each) charging with 2C takes only 20 minutes as it was from the very beginning.

Super happy with the TURNIGY fatboy 8, AKA , FMA / REVOLECTRIX Power lab 8. Does not show percentage graph of battery charged as the power lab 8 does, but i normally just keep the volts per cell window open whilst i paralell charge. Just paralell charged 6 x 5000 mah heli batteries at 39.5 amps at 24 volts using my meanwell se 1000-24. total charge time was 27 minutes, perfectly balanced charged, ready to go. GREAT WORK HOBBY KING AND FMA-REVOLECTRIX.

Awesome charger!, balances very fast and very accurately.No waiting endlessly like on the common 50w chargers at the end of charge to balance and then there way off anyway.Comes with no output cables at all.

Note the balance connector is JST PA and will not work with standard JST XH balance taps. Still looking for an adaptor for this.

Just received FatBoy. I've used PowerLab 8 v2 for a couple of days before and therefore, I can compare.... Seems to be exactly the same item (i would disassemble it after tomorrow along with PowerLab in order to prove it), but the firmware seems to be a bit different. For example, FatBoy lacks the fuction of showing charging progress pcnt during charging as PowerLab 8 originally does. This is very useful function, but unfortunately not present here. All other settings and functions seems to be the same. Just charged 2 x OptiPower 3,500mAh from 3,75V to full charge at 1C in 37 minutes.
