Balance charger help

[Jlov]

Im looking to buy a new charger that will charge two Lipos simultaneously and as quickly as possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I really like the iCharger Duo chargers. Specifically the 406 for 1-6cells and 4010 for 1-10cells. Both have programmable balance rates. Both have 1.2A balancing discharge currents.

iCharger also has a new DX8 dual channel charger with 2A balancing discharge currents. 1-8S capable.

Are you using a power supply for 12 or 24vdc power? Or are you looking to plug into the wall at 110vac?

I have a few Hota's I really like. The D6 Plus and D6 Pro have almost identical specs. They are both dual channel chargers and can both do 650w total or 325W per channel (on DC power). I regularly charge 4 batteries at once of these chargers, 2 in parallel per channel. The difference between the two, is the Plus can do 300w while only on 110vac, while the Pro can only do 200w while on 110vac (but also has a built in wireless phone charger). They both have a powerful balance rate of 1.6A.

So if you're going to run it off a power supply, I recommend the D6 Pro. It's a little smaller, cheaper, and equally as powerful on DC power.

If you're going to run it without a power supply, I recommend the D6 Plus. It's a little larger, but more powerful on AC power, but like almost any charger, will be more powerful on DC power.

Thx Tyler. I like that Icharger. I have a few things in the swap shop for sale that I may try to trade for one first. If that doesn’t work out I’m going to buy the Icharger.

Hota D6 for AC, can't be beat that performance and price. I run 2 of the D6+ myself.

Powerful on DC as well.

ICharger is a good choice, just $$$
