[@rdunkin7298]

Thank you for this intro into the new world of chargers. I'm an old RC guy that is getting back into the hobby 20 years later and things have changed! Thumbs up and a subscribe.

[@Andre_M_3D]

Been running the isdt q6 plus for over a year now and love it. Mine is 300 watts and charges anything I throw at it. It is small and can be used at home and in the field. I have used others like the IMAX b6 and will never go back. I sold all my other charges. My isdt was quite expensive but my batteries last. I noticed with some of the other charges that they would either overcharge or undercharge or the cells would not be matched perfectly. None of those issues with my isdt. Again...spend the money when it comes to chargers. Batteries are expensive so use a good charger or they wont last. Thanks for the review sir.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Just amazing usability and engineering on these new ISDT chargers.

[@logansportpilotrp8174]

Been using my Hyperion- Eos0606i for like 8 years now,and i love it....great charger.

[@RCReviewChannel]

legendary charger. But there are new ones now too.

[@billderas3420]

Just love my iCharger 406 Duo charger with Motiv 40 amp discharger add-on because it charges at higher rates and I put all my lipos into Storage mode after use. Takes minutes instead of hours.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Exactly the magic of these new chargers. Modern chargers too have a recycle mode, where they can put the unused power back in a master battery. It can happen quickly with no power lost to heat.

[@brianl426]

Nice to see the Imex B6 charger in your review. Have used an original one for over 7 years with zero problems. Is fast? No. Does it work on all my batteries? Yes.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes, tried and true. And if one has a power adapter already and connectors, they're very cheap in Ebay and other sources. Tried and true.

[@CaSSpEErr]

I have a Graupner Ultra Duo 50 plus it is the best charger i've used in our hobby

[@RCVOODOO]

Great explanation. I'm using a dynamite prophet for several years now. Still does excellent. AC and DC

[@glenmccall4571]

so what the best battery

[@Greywolf74]

really not trying to hate but imho you should have named this 12 best budget lipo chargers cuz only about half of those chargers are from quality manufacturers and almost all of them are extremely entry level. I expected to see names like iCharger and Revolectrix in here among others

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

First, thanks for your work...now my question: I am mostly in our caravan, so I can only hook up the charger onto a USB port. You have a charger in mind for the fcx24 stock battery ?

[@jeremymiller2340]

Older video ' but still good for 2022/23

[@MrMegabite]

I have the HTRC T240, very good charger, good price and easy to use with the memory functions. You can save settings for different batteries, charging, storage, balancecharging and then just use it with one or two keystrokes.

[@RCReviewChannel]

These new ones are so well thought out! Didn't know what we were missing.

[@alexsiniov]

I sold my imax B6-es and bought ISDT T8 with whopping 1000w. Have connected it to 1000W PSU from ebay (30 bucks or smth), and I parallel charge my 6x 7600mah 2s lipos at 35A! Pumping almost 40 000mah in 1 hour is a whole new level

[@RCReviewChannel]

You went from stone-age to tech-age in one step. Crazy huh? That's why we were excited to make this video. Sooooo many people can benefit from the new charger tech.

[@alexsiniov]

@@RCReviewChannel Now we have to wait for new battery tech like 10 000mah in 1cm2 and 10c charge capability :)))

[@1959Berre]

The second charger works on AC/DC, reads "Dynamite" on the front, though is very silent...

[@ng-iq4kx]

Good line up but I didn't see Horizon's new smart charger with their smart batteries. Just plug the battery in and the charger automatically detects the correct setting. No need to set up anything.

[@bernardbrowne5205]

Best charger for two 6s battery for a arrma kraton ? New in the game

[@fuse557]

I have the Prodigy 680, been a good charger for me. Touch screen, allways balance charge it.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

based on my need to charge 2S & 3S mainly for plane flying and then perhaps i'll get higher rating batteries for my r/c buggy car. I don't want to have to buy cables, so could you suggest something. I don't want to spend more than $150.00 USD for a balance charger and AC is the main need. I doubt i would charge in the field, but i guess that's a possibility. Like i would be flying at a flying field and perhaps i could plug up to my car and do a 1 hour charge or something like that. Great video!!! thanks in advance!!!

[@planetimagine]

Which of these is best to charge a 42-volt dead battery for a hybrid truck?

[@blueballs5150]

Is there a good budgety nimh/lipo charger?

[@heleodorosuarez1521]

I just watch and i would like to know which battery is better for my cpap machine please thanks😀😊

[@badlilstang]

HATO D6 Plus.. amazing charger..

[@jamesswift4641]

Thank you for the heads up,will any of those chargers charge nickel metal hydride batteries

[@RCReviewChannel]

Most of them with a screen will charge NIMH batteries very well.

[@Shadowcruise99]

*No mention of the iCharger 410 Duo!*

[@RCReviewChannel]

It is being shipped to us right now.

[@19Marc79]

9:09 => I recommend to put flexible glue on the balancer plug and the cables that go into it. Because when you pull on the tiny cables often, they will come loose. And soldering these tiny cables is a bummer.

[@roonimaka9365]

They arent soldered, they are just pushes in.

[@josefdahari]

I ordered a htrc 240w a few days ago. Glad to see it featured in here. So I know I bought something decent

[@RCReviewChannel]

We learned that has a fascinating iphone app where you can control and monitor all the charging

[@josefdahari]

Really? I had no idea. I have to look into that. Because that would make things a lot better and easier. Thanks so much for the heads up

[@josefdahari]

If you know the app name or any additional information on it please let me know please

[@yfellimban]

What about the icharger 4010 or any icharger?

[@nick92065]

The Venom Power AC/DC LiPo Balance Battery Charger (4S/3A/40W) does not discharge or storage charge. How is it on this list?

[@RCReviewChannel]

We did not know that. But for the price, it's one simple, brand name, reliable charger

[@letzgetfit]

Niiice video! I almost went with the venom pro duo but decided to get the Hobbymate d6 Duo

[@ShenRC]

👍Those new chargers do look great...I like my hitec 400w X2 but I love my venom 40 watt like you show for smaller batteries just plug in the lipo balance plug to charge don't have to worry about the battery connector types with it.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Tried and true brands for sure!!!!!

[@littleraptor9898]

i have my Equilibrium 3.5 and iam happy with it.

[@rakanbilbeisi5255]

What about EV peak cq3 400watt?

[@kudalaut.official]

finally I got the answer.. thanks!

[@nouraabdullah6077]

Love this for getting it

[@majestynyny]

That hobbymate d6 duo doesn’t come with any wires?

[@RC_Rooster]

Which would you recommend for a redcat gen 8? I'm still a noob

[@JM-nh8yp]

B7? Your video shows the B6, and a search online doesn't find a B7. Is that a future model that is about to be released?

[@bobbythompson6017]

I bought 4 iMax B6 charges and they all did not work the last time I'm buying anything online

[@rc-hunters6831]

Hi I'm new to the hobbie and need a fast chargers for my rc lippos... any suggestiions.? Kinda want it to come with the adapters etc...plugs and stuff.

[@jzepp7013]

Me too..and how do the connectors work? If I have a 3s Lipo battery with an ec5 connector do I need to purchase a charging cable with an ec5 connector to plug into the charger? Is that how it works?

[@tenncutt]

Hitec X2 Black edition. Comes with adapters and charges 2 batteries at once

[@danmeuse496]

this was the video i needed, thx man

[@airloo]

hi I want to know which one is best easiler and dual port so far than compliex…. pls let me know thank you

[@luisw3406]

Yeah I love my HT charger it's been good to me for yrs

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great brand and they keep innovating.

[@11jeopardy11]

newbe here looking to get into the hobby with a question, will the same 4s charger charge both a 5000mah 4s for a 5" quad and a 450mah 4s for a mini quad like the beta85x? thanks :)

[@solarsynapse]

You mean 500mAh? As long as the charger can output the maximum current at the maximum cell count that you need, it can always be set to less. 4s 500mAh is 16.8V x .5A = 8.4W If you really mean 4s 5000mAh then it would be 16.8V x 5A = 84W.

[@TheOtherSide27]

that isdt lite can charge batre 5200 mah for rc car or just litle batery

[@cashenjoe1]

Do you work for FX too? You look familiar. Great video!

[@mosindesire]

Need to list amps as well and why the heck is there such a gap between 6 amp and 10 amp chargers? I'd like to find one that can do 8 amps as I'm currently using 6200 mah and will like to get higher capacity at some point.

[@ELValenin]

You're not gonna get those 10 amps if the wattage of the charger is too low for the battery

[@waimeaguyz9074]

awesome review. thanks

[@LuisLopez-ed7oc]

Does the isdt q6 pro come with the wall connecter and also with a deans connector

[@HEADBANGRR]

+RC Review 3:03 The 'ISDT D2' is NOT AC/DC! It's only AC

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thank you for the correction

[@greggk1061]

What kind of connectors are included with the newer chargers like ISDT and Hobbymate? Do they include Deans type?

[@RCReviewChannel]

These newer charters like Hobbymate and ISDT come with NO connectors at all. They have native XT60 connectors so make sure you buy an adapter plug to connect your battery. You'll need one for input and one for output XT60

[@WORLD-OF-MERLIN]

Where can I find a li ion balance charger for 12 series batteries?

[@jiang8192]

My ISDT Q6 Plus 14A dead (showing "Too high balancer voltage port"" error every time.) after using it for a month. Although I really like its color screen and easy to use, I'm quite concerned about the quality. I'm kind of neutral on this product right now.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Contact them. They should warranty it.

[@AndrewR2130]

Could you do a video for higher power chargers that can do 6S and up would be much appreciated

[@narrowempress1625]

My icharger 1010b does 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s 9s 10s

[@ELValenin]

why do these all have xt60 Connectors? Most people I know use XT90

[@RCReviewChannel]

Drones! In our world, most folks are still on Deans.

[@ELValenin]

@@RCReviewChannel aah okay

[@Enderkruemel]

I like my absima CTC1Touch 100w charger(it can also Charge up to 6s) it can max160w Charge

[@harpoon_bakery162]

whats the cost? im looking for a 50 dollar good one with all the connectors. i fly planes not drones so i dont need crazy wattage charger. what would you suggest?

[@robtosoni8804]

Hey there, how are ya? So yeah I just watched and commented on your video about 10 dangerous things to watch out for when charging Lipo batteries. Again I wish I watched more of your informative videos prior to purchasing my new RC yesterday with all the extras that I needed. I purchased battery, charger & Redcat Gen 8 all from Amazon.com I also purchased 3yr protection plan for charger and RC Charger I purchased was called Aorika I paid $55.99 for it. It had great reviews only one 1☆ review because a customer received a bad product that the display didn't work. But was planning on doing an exchange. I hope I made a good decision? Also now after watching previous video I'm going to have to buy another Lipo battery since I did only buy one. Again thank you for your help. I hope you have a great day.

[@rc3151]

Very helpful, really appreciate it thank you.

[@RCReviewChannel]

You're very welcome!

[@swede5209]

I bought an imax B6ACv2 and it lasted 6 months. No it won’t charge Lipo because it give me faulty cell count readings. Says incorrect cell number. I have double and triple checked my hookup. Seems to Nickle-Metal Hydride Battery ok. Disappointed

[@interman7715]

Did you program lipo charge on the screen ?Man I've been running a B6 ac/dc for years , awesme charger .

[@reginaldmcnab3265]

Very helpful!

[@EleanorPeterson]

Chicken and egg question: if you're using a huge li-po to run the charger to charge your small li-pos, what charger did you use to charge the big li-po that you used to run the charger to charge the smaller li-pos? Did you run that charger from an even bigger li-po? ;-) (I'm just kidding - I know you start off with a wall charger.)

[@robbryan3044]

You don't use a LiPo battery for powering this, or any other charger...you use a 12V battery, be it a car, or motorcycle, battery (due to size, I'd, obviously, suggest a motorcycle battery...preferably a gel, or Lithium-Ion, battery).

[@eddielane9569]

Maybe you can help me. I am new to the RC world. Can you recommend a RC brand that offers parts for their cars as well as good rated batteries that aren't expensive. I can't spend more than $150.00 for a RC auto. I bought a $70.00 New Bright car but the batteries only last 10 min and cost around 20 a piece. I want a battery that will last at least 20-30 min. I am going to return the new car I bought because I don't see a good future with it.

[@TheOtherSide27]

what rc do you play if you play rc offroad buy 5200 mah 50c enough for a day ,,, if you play sc rc or buggy maybe just take 10 minute

[@JM-nh8yp]

I would look at the online classifieds for a used car, such as a Traxxas brand. You can buy a car for $100-150 that sold for $200-300 new. Or you might find a new lower model Traxxas for $150 or so. You will have an excellent durable car with all replaceable parts that will last you for decades with proper maintenance. The cheap cars you mentioned are a huge waste of money. They just don't last at all. Its completely different with a quality car.

[@eddielane9569]

@@JM-nh8yp that is why I took the New Bright buggy back. It looks great but you can't replace anything on it. I might be able to go up to $200.00 but there are so many different brands and variations of RC vehicles. Metal is what I am looking for. Some composite plastics are pretty tough but metal is better.

[@blackbirdrc8348]

RC Review I never knew going so slow could be so fun lol I took my stock sport over to my friends his whole back yard is a course and I kept up with his heavily modded wraith damn good. He was telling me that half the people who go there can’t get through the obstacles with their money pit rigs. Even he was surprised with how great the stock sport performed. Definitely happy with my purchase 👍🏻 can’t imagine how this will perform with mods.

[@fuse557]

I live your vids, I even recommended you to a friend that wants to get into the crawler hobby. But PLEASE, spend some cash and get a better microphone! Love you guys! : )

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, R J! I listen on headphones, and the audio sounds fine to me. The microphone is positioned properly; there's no popping, and the voice is clear and not distorted. True, the default volume is low in comparison to many modern audio sources because there's a mania to maximise EVERYTHING to 0db. Output boosters compress things to give the now standard shatteringly loud volume at a setting of 2 or 3. On a scale of 0 to 10, that's ridiculous, but it impresses kids in cars. I much prefer the wider dynamic range of minimal compression. It's classical orchestral music versus hip-hop and rap. So, as with this video, if you need more volume, turn it up from 2 to 7. Whoa! Old-school manual adjustment! It won't distort. But if your default volume setting is 2 for all KZbin videos, it's going to sound too quiet. I appreciate that not everybody wants to have to adjust the volume for themselves, but it's not that much of a chore is it? And it's not really a microphone problem; it's just a matter of choice. Choice is good - there's little enough of it about these days... ;-)

[@3vil8unny]

wholly audio take the time to make sure its even

[@Andre_M_3D]

Oh and if anyone has an old laptop power supply they can convert it to work with the isdt. That is what I did
