    Default 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.

    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

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