Really Cool Battery Chargers - Toolkit RC M9 & M4 - Review

[@jimanderson4865]

Atta boy Steve....another great video.....most importantly, you got to stay warm.....one way to charge out in the field, a person could make up a cable with clamps to attach to the car battery to power those units. That would be plenty of power there.

[@FahadKhan_3007]

2:52 That is so cool! A custom M9 Charger for Captain Drone! Lol I watched the whole video but I don't think if I understood everything, but I definitely tried to. Again, I am not in the FPV hobby yet and only know some basic things about them. Never mind, It looks pretty easy to do everything as soon as you have the charger! I can't tell personally about these chargers but, In my opinion, the ToolkitRC M9 and M4 are very efficient and nice FPV battery chargers!

[@john8403]

I got the m9 one for the price and two for the size. Just wish I knew I needed the XT60/USBC cable? When I ran into the issue of not charging I knew the right place to go.

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Both chargers are very well designed. I could use the MP4 pocket. Thanks Captain

[@steinskotmyr2194]

Looks Nice and convenient. I personally would like to see a 110/220 vac input too.

[@billhackner6297]

Question: do you have to use a battery to power the bigger unit to charge a battery or can you plug it into the wall?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You need a power converter to plug it into the wall (Convert your home voltage to 12 volt DC). You can find them on the TOOLKIT RC website (link below video). Or you can buy them off BANGGOOD.

[@robflyrc]

10:12 can M4 charge 1S battery?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You'd need a special cable. Most RC chargers are designed to charge 2S and above and not 1S.

[@robflyrc]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 special cable? Can you explaine what kind of?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@robflyrc every battery made has a particular connector style. You must find a cable that matches your battery on one end and the the charger on the other end. But first, see if you can even select 1S under lipo.

[@robflyrc]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ah I see. I thought you are talking about different.. special cable, lol, thx.

[@ArmageddonYT]

Great review ! especialy for the portable one.. I don't understand : the m9 isn't pluging from the wall ? Only for outside, not really for desk room ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

To plug it into the wall you'd need a power converter (converts your home voltage to 12 volts DC). Check the TOOLKIT RC website, as there are several there (link below this video).

[@dirtrider88]

what happens when you try drawing 500 watts and 20 amps through that usb c to xt60 cable?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

20 amps?

[@dirtrider88]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 idk lol. that not an uncommen spec for chargers to be able to charge at. so what happens when you power a charger with that cable and try to charge at 500 watts and 20 amps? seems like the cable would explode

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@dirtrider88Hobby chargers normally max out at 10 amps

[@adventure_boy]

The M4P Poket is a really useful one, do you know if there is a M6P version, to charge 6S batteries as well?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Check the TOOLKIT RC website (link below this video).

[@chechefly]

Can i use xt60 6s battery as input source of M4 ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Sorry, I no longer have the M4 so I can't check it out. However, all of the chargers on the market that work off a DC voltage all have a minimum and maximum input voltage. If you check out the product on the web you'll see what it is for the M4 and that will tell you if you can use a 6S (25 volts DC) as input.

[@DavidG2P]

Thanks for the review! Is it true that the is limited to 10S = 20V @PB ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

10s? No one charges 10s batteries with home hobby chargers.

[@DavidG2P]

​@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ​ I mean charging 24V *PB* batteries (= 12S). The manual says that it only charges up to 20V with PB?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@DavidG2PRight… But… this is a basic hobby charger for people that charge 2s batteries up to 6s. It is not designed for higher since it can’t balance charge higher. You need to be looking for a professional, very expensive, high watt/high amp, charger.

[@DavidG2P]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know but I'm just trying to find out whether it charges PB batteries up to 20 or 24 volts. This is not about balancing, only charging. Previous small chargers by ToolkitRC could charge PB up to 24 volts=12 cells. In the manual of most of their current chargers it says max 10S=20 volts. Can you maybe check the max PB voltage/cells on the device?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@DavidG2PI never tried so can’t confirm. I also don’t keep such entry level products for very long as I have more powerful daily chargers for the RC hobby

[@662SSIPPI]

Great video...if your powering the charger with the 6s battery does it take the 6 cells to charge 6 cells? If that makes any sense..is it just swapping juice from one battery to the other?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can plug in a 4 cell battery and charge up a 6 cell battery to a point.

[@662SSIPPI]

I think they're awesome little chargers? Thanks for sharing Steve. 👍👍👍

[@johnharker1888]

Hi Captain drone,l'm a big fan I'm thinking about getting a 4k 60fps drone but I was wondering if I could attach a go pro or something similar to an SJRC F7 because the 15fps camera can be detached from it. Would this be possible and could I utilise the 3 axis gimble or do think it wouldn't work? I'd love to hear your thoughts

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope. Lots of people have wondered the same. Not an option.

[@johnharker1888]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you for your swift reply and your frank answer . So attaching an action camera to a drone isn't an option?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@johnharker1888 You could do it but don’t expect to see video on your phone or in the app and don’t expect the drone to fly well or for very long.

Excellent Review Video Captain Steve. Really Nice Chargers. What Is Your Favorite Charger To Charge Your Drone Batteries, Phone and Other Equipment When You Are Out In The Field? I Have Been Looking At Eco Flow. Thank You Captain Steve.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I no longer charge batteries in the field because now that I have so many chargers at home, I just charge up 10 batteries, then go fly.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review and nice bits of kit Steve.

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Very cool 🤟🏼😎

[@RoaldKoger]

Regarding the M4: if 4.35V is for LiHv, then 3.6V is not for storage charge, but probably for LiFe(PO4) batteries.

[@printer5518]

Just a quick note. 3.85 is for storage but 3.60 is For LIFE batteries

Captain Drone could you do an unboxing and flight test review of the Anself RC Drone with Camera 4K 3-axis Gimbal Brushless Motor 5G Wifi FPV Quadcopter 1000m Control Distance 25mins Flight Time. The drone is from a 3rd party seller on Walmart. The drone seems like another version of the KF101 Drone. Could you please do an unboxing and flight test review of the drone. I'm not sure if I should buy it because it could of looks sketchy.
