Okay little charger. Review by Brent

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.

I have to say, i'm extremely pleased with this charger! Easy to use & charges just as fast as the more expensive ones on the market. Does everything you can ask for. I highly recommend this to anyone using lipo batteries. (Posted on 1/21/2013)

Perfect for my use. Review by Ted

This is a really neat charger. I wanted a smaller charger for my park flyers. This will do the job and is adequate
for some larger planes. Compact with a built in power supply and cooling fan. After reading the manual I went through all of the functions in about a half hour. AC power is nice on my work bench and the 12VDC power is
nice on the field. I'd give it an A+. (Posted on 1/12/2013)

A nice little charger if you're just getting into LiPOs Review by TJ

I like this charger, it charges fairly fast and it has all the features I need. I only wish that it had an On/Off switch.

The first one Value Hobby sent me would not power up after about 3 to 5 uses. I RMA'd the charger and ValueHobby replaced it for me. The new one is working great and the RMA process through ValueHobby was painless and easy. (Posted on 9/26/2012)
