Yeah. They work, but they'll bite back if you do anything wrong. Mine has two 4S ports that are just dead, because the heat from me plugging my battery wrong (twice) desoldered a pin. Now I've got a two-port charger, and that's sufficient for me, I think.

I think you missed the real competition, the URUAV Blacklight B6pro. I think it was the first one I saw to have it all, poly fuses and automotive fuses with indicators plus XT30 and XT60. They cost pretty much the same but their are some slight differences in their feature sets: URUAV: The automotive fuses it comes with are transparent, super easy to check, if one has tripped. It has a beeper for when something has tripped. It also has a detachable XT60 connector to the charger. Yours: It has an integrated battery checker. It has designated daisy chaining. As for the daisy chaining you could do this on the uruav probably as well if you simply connect the second one to one of the outlets. However, I would rather go for a charger with multiple outlets and attach individual parallel boards to each of them, but that's probably personal preference. Also

That's a much better design than the old one I used that scared me away from parallel charging. I probably would have stuck with it if I had that one. The board I used had the array of balance connectors, and over several years I had two incidents where I plugged a balance plug into the next sized connector. Because of the way the connectors on the board were aligned, it meant that it was offset by 1 pin and short circuited the cells. The first time melted one of the traces I needed for 4s charging off the board. The second mistake... Yeah I threw it away like I should have the first time.

It would be a new product but I've always thought a small addition to a parallel board create an amazing product: If each channel went through an actual current limiter (maybe not just a polyfuse). You could plug in packs as you fly and the voltage would equalise so you could just plug the charger in without worrying about equalising them. If one of the channels had a field pack on you could either charge them most of the way or storage charge them depending on the charge in the field pack. You could literally solve battery management in one product. All you'd need would be a bunch of current limiting circuitry and maybe a pot to set max current.
@JoshuaBardwell3 жыл бұрын
The problem is the same current limiter that protects from dangerous current flow would also interfere with charging

@@JoshuaBardwell not if the limiters were on the channels, it would just limit the per pack/cell current. fewer ports would make that economically reasonable.

JB: Besides the risk of mixing batteries of different cell counts on those balance plugs, I made a mistake my first time trying this board, and plugged in a 4S aligned all the way to the left instead of to the right. It of course plugs in neatly there on the five pins. (It was the only battery I plugged in for my first test, so no harm done). I'm parallel charging, and I fully accept all the risks associated (including this one), but thought I would point that out as another item to double-check before charging with a board like this with the 2S-6S balance support on one plug.

Your board looks good! I just am not a big fan of parallel charging: I don't want to think about matching voltages every time i charge cells, "Oh no, I only flew half of that pack, now I can't charge it with the others!" or "yeah, those are all 2s batteries but one has lower capacity so it will go boom if I charge it together with the higher capacity ones". Gladly I only fly up to 4S right now and the ToolkitRC M4Q is a perfect fit for me - charging 4 cells at once is okay and it can discharge them (very slowly) to storage voltage too. I don't think parallel boards should be a necessity any more at least for the regular hobbyist who does not need 40 batteries charged up at once. Just instead of a micro 4x4s charger like the M4Q is, produce a 6x6s charger that is larger (or lacks the DC in) still can discharge to storage voltage, has a bit better plug layout (XT-plugs are next to balance plugs, but balance cables are usually shorter so the balance lead tends to unplug) and 99% of people would be happy.
