    Default Quad port charger

    Any suggestions for good bang for the buck quad port charger? Preferable AC/DC outlet, 6s capable and high charge rates per port. I found Dynamite Prophet Sport, but any others?

    Just a suggestion, consider multiple 2 port chargers as an option. I have 4 dual chargers at my workstation fed by two different DC power supplies. I get all the current I need, the features I want (not stuck with a particular model multi-port charger) and if a component fails, it affects less.

    I agree with fweasel. Most of the quad port chargers don't have that high of an output. Great for 2 and 3s packs but will fall a bit short for your 6s high current requirement. You'll be best off with a couple of I chargers or couple tp820's either cd or hv. Not going to be cheap but you are asking for a pretty powerful charger. The charger you mentioned wont even charge a 6s 5000 mah at 1c let alone a higher charge rate.

    Dang, I wish I had come back to check these replys earlier. You have a good points fweasel and TheShaughnessy. I thought first to get 2 separate chargers, but then I changed my mind, easier to travel with one.
    Well I ordered quite cheapo charger UP240AC Plus Quad https://www.gearbest.com/multi-rotor...pp_362990.html. It still has 12A ea. at two ports or 6A ea. for all ports and it can share the load between. Let see how it will perform. I read many reviews of it, mostly positive.
    You charge your lipos more than 1C? Last time I was into RC's 1C was suggested charge rate and not to exceed or it will shorten the packs life noticeably.

    I got this one Ultra Power 100AC 400W Quad Port Multifunction Charger Quattro*!**
    Charges four 6s 5000mah at 10amps on each one 2c if your lipo can take it.
    I love it

    Nice specs with that charger!

    I too like my Ultra Power UP240AC. One issue I found so far, sometimes it finishes charging when the lipos aren't yet full. Iirc around 3.9V/cell. Not always though and another charge cycle charge them full. It might still be a charger feature, have to inspect it more next season. Nitpickers could find this a bit loud charger, but doesn't these all are.

    4 x ISDT Q6 Plus or pro's were on sale at HK recently. Beautiful small quiet chargers. If one fails, one fails, not 4.

    Does that require a external power source?
