Product Review (submitted on May 19, 2015):

This is an okay little charger. 50 Watts is enough to charge up to a single medium-size battery in an hour. If you want to do any parallel charging, you'll want a higher watt charger else you'll be waiting forever. Has AC and DC options for power, which is really nice. Double checks cell count with what you picked and gives a warning if they don't match.

I do have one problem with this charger. That is the storage mode. It says in the manual that storage mode will take Lipos to 3.85 volts. IT DOES NOT. It takes them all to 3.7 volts. This isn't a huge issue, but I don't understand why it says one thing and does another. Maybe mine is defective. I've tried on numerous 1S and 3S batteries and it does it every single time, 3.7 volts. I've triple checked that Lipos are selected in the settings too. Nothing seems to change the behavior. There is also no override to pick a voltage to charge/discharge to. You have to go with what is programmed from the factory (3.7v for storage and 3.0v for discharge). Like I said, this isn't a huge issue, but I wouldn't store any battery long-term at 3.7v and so I have to manually charge them for a few minutes and wait and watch until they hit 3.85v and shut it off manually.
