ISDT 608PD LiPo Charger • 240W? We'll see about that.

In this video we'll take a look at the ISDT 608PD charger and the phone app available to operate the charger. ISDT claims this little charger can deliver 240w. Of course, we'll put that to the test too. Thanks to ‪@RadioMasterRC‬ for sending this ISDT 608PD out for review.

Hello guys... I've got good news. There is a update out for this. Storage charge is now possible. Cutoff voltage goes down to 3,7 Volts. So that's really great in my eyes. Just open the app and have the charger powered up and it will show you update possible. 💯👍👍👍

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks for the note. I'll look into this.

[@stingerranger4942]

(*ˊᗜˋ*)ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ for the explaining and showing how it work. I getting my first set 4s lipo next week and i looking for charger i saw it on amazon with good comment i came here to see how it works.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@silverfish27]

Without storage discharge, what good is it for? Have the manufacturer mentioned that it will be available in the future?

[@RCVideoReviews]

No mention of storage mode from manufacturer. I agree this is definitely a shortcoming.

[@Retset]

This is pretty good value but the lack of storage charge options is a bit sad. The PD stuff out looks to be too much trouble but I can see these being picked up as handy field chargers. Personally, I use a Toolkit M6D as one of my home chargers but also as my sole field charger. 2 x 15A and a USB socket delivering up to 2.1A. It's about twice the price of the review item but very good value IMHO.

[@orangezeroalpha]

My older idst charger can accept a 16v source and boost the output to 30v max (without any battery management) and is known as "power supply" mode. It typically works really well. I couldn't tell if this 608PD has that, but the 30v spec seems to suggest it does. Does your Toolkit M6D have a power supply function like this? If so, voltage range?

[@Retset]

@@orangezeroalpha Yes. I never use it for that but it can output 1-28V and 0.5-15.0A in what it calls Battery Type - Power. On my desk I have a little Toolkit M7 which has the same voltage output but only up to 10A. I power it from the laptop power adapter from a dead gaming laptop (240W so pretty hefty), using it mainly as a desktop power supply and rarely as a charger. I have all sorts of things powered by old laptop or phone chargers as they are a great bit of AC>DC tech that’s effectively free!

[@orangezeroalpha]

@@Retset Thanks for the extra info.

[@gqp4800]

I have an antique power supply 30 amps hooked up to an isdt wedgy charger,5 or 7 years old. Used it on on road race cars foams ozite carpet. Drones now😊

[@amansingh-ph7zz]

Please answer does it charge like lion batteries and how because its not in the menu, thanks

[@gvibes69]

Well storage charge is easy we all know that a 3.7v cell lipo wants to be storage at 3.7-3.8 and a 7.4 7.6 so you only charge normaly the battery and put the proper voltage!! Not that hard right? Now no discharge function is really sad because thats why im gonna opt for the sky rc imax b6.

[@rogerwilco5187]

I don't usually leave comments but in this case congratulations are in order, as you're the only reviewer I've seen who actually checks the voltage accuracy of the charger. WELL DONE!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks for commenting.

[@rosavola]

Do you happen to know if the charging process stops when source power is cut off for a short time (solar panel) and then restarts once power has returned? Without human interaction, pushing the charge button again?

[@Tish0eX]

Only if it can storage charge and discharge...

[@RCVideoReviews]

It does seem like a miss to omit storage charge. Discharge I can live without because on such a small device there's no mass to dissipate the heat. But storage--yeah--that's a swing and a miss.

[@Tish0eX]

yeah no reason not to include at least storage charge..maybe with software update later?

[@roxypda]

@@RCVideoReviews I storage charge lipo by charging as life, and set max voltage to 3.7v. So far I am impressed with this charger, I hook it to an old Dell 19v 4.6a laptop power brick.

[@thierrymine571]

Lorsque je suis sur la piste, je charge normalement depuis 20 ans. Le stockage (storing), je le fais à la maison quand je sais que je ne vais pass rouler pendant 1 mois. J’ai ce petit chargeur et je le trouve vraiment super. Pour le storage, j’ai un gros chargeur que je laisse chez moi. Aucun problème en Touring ou TT 1/10.

[@calebgrefe8922]

Does this work with the battair plugs?

[@kenflyergc]

....price seems reasonable....don't need one at the moment but will sometime in 2024.... thanks for the heads up review....

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're very welcome. Thanks for leaving a comment :)

[@silverfish27]

Beware, no storage discharge/charge.

[@TheEragoon]

wait, no Li-Ion support? did i get this right?

[@alliaj1]

Lipo + set voltage to 4.1/cell

[@spikester]

Out of all the reviews on these chargers, not a single one mentions that the mAh counter is completely incorrect and falls short by over half. Maybe its a bug in the latest firmware? Either way its not been fixed and nobody seems to care about it. Otherwise the hardware appears a lot more solid than the B6 neo which has fan issues. Another feature that is lacking besides storage/discharge, why can't it auto detect the cell count? Every other charger can do that including those from ISDT.

[@gbraadnl]

240W sounds lik8:40 this might be because of the phone, as you can most likely toggle it should provide power for charging other devices.

[@Sympster]

Great review! What is the maximum charging power with 12V DC input on the XT60? Sometimes it's different than the higher end of DC input. Thanks!

[@RCVideoReviews]

10a max. So at 12v, 120w max.

[@benleong2008]

I just got the 608PD! However, I dont know why my USB out does not work like yours. I have tried many different ways.

[@RCVideoReviews]

I've found two key issues for using it as a phone charger: 1) Sometimes you have to flip the USB-C cable. Super annoying as the spec allows for the cable to be plugged in either way. I haven't tested whether this is a cable issue or a 608PD issue. 2) You have to press the button to so it shows USB out.

[@sunseekerhenry]

Neither way not working for me, even it shows discharging on the phone app. Tried many different devices, non worked@@RCVideoReviews

[@bzzm_eu]

Does it work for dual input ? like having usb 100wusbpd3.1 + usb together?

[@RCVideoReviews]

No. In fact they explicitly say to NOT do that in the book.

[@bzzm_eu]

@@RCVideoReviews thanks mate, it will arrive this monday, cant wait to try it in field with little puffed 6s 10000mAh source of powerbanks :). So far from review no issues?

[@Mr.Laidukas]

Weak ago I bought one for my self as I really want small and portable PD charger.

[@RCVideoReviews]

How has it been working out for you?

[@Mr.Laidukas]

@@RCVideoReviews Still waiting for the delivery, but already worrier because you mentioned it does not have STORE function. Almost always I prepare all my battery packs for flight, not to miss a chance. But often some do not see action and needs to be stored.
