    New Turnigy Digital Charger Balancer

    I just got one of the new Turnigy chargers and tested out on my new 2 x 4S Turnigy LiPo's. Works great, easy to use and has great digital display.
    On the negative side, cooling fan is a little noisy but it sure moves the air very well inside of it.
    Anybody else has one and would like to share their opinion?
    Thanks
    Robert

    If you have a big enough power supply can you charge 4 4S lipos at 5 amps each ??

        How acurate is it and what voltage is it charging to?

          Should charge all 4 packs at 3.4 amps. I only have 2s packs so the 3.4 amps is from what others have claimed. It's just 4 smaller charges built into one box. They all work seperate from each other. I have charged all 6 of my packs at 6 amps although I only got the one balance adapter. So if you buy one please remember to get a few more.

          On the first go around the balancer was dead nuts. 6 packs all came in from 4.19 to 4.20. Verified using my voltmeter.

          That fan does make some noise.

          Over all in the very short time I have owned it's been perfect. Who knows on longevity.

            It's only 50watts per channel, which limits it to about 3.4amps per 4s pack.
            My prop hasn't been wet in a while.

              That is what is was wondering about
              Looks like a good charger but to try and charge the 5000 packs will take longer when you can only go to 3.5 instead of 5 amps

                ...right, but you charging 4 on the same time!!! Or 4 diferent ones on the same time wthat would not be possible with single or duo charger....
                I made one mod to my charger and cut the bars on the front of the cooling fan. It moves air much easier and I can feel better air flow now....
                Charging 2 4S LiPos this pappy is not even getting worm but extra air flow allways helps...
                I love this charger!!!
                After the weekend I will be testing this charger all possible ways. All my LiPos are charged now and I need to drain them out to before my testing. Will update....
                BDW guys!!! This charger is $99.99 for members!!! Regular price is $144.00

                      50w per channel is listed in the specs, i only have mostly 2s packs too-so ive had my eye on this one as well.

                            That's definitely not something I would leave unattended! I'm glad to hear it's working well for you.
