SkyRC B6AC V2 Charger Review and Usage

[@sreekumarUSA]

Absolutely a perfect review. You have put in a lot of effort getting the review compiled.Thanks, bro appreciate your work.Happy flying.

[@ibringthelastwords1358]

This is the most complete representation of this Charger minus the advanced features. Thanks!

[@lenburns6287]

Hi Andyrc - As a teenager l used to make 'em and break 'em, model planes. In those days power was supplied by a small diesel engine and l constantly stunk of diesel fuel. As a genuine 'Golden Oldie' (81 years young) l decided to take up model flying once again. Your review and usage video clip was just what the doctor ordered. Such detailed explanatory comments made your clip so easy to understand. Best by far of any other clips on the internet, many thanks for your efforts.

[@TeeDubb]

Thanks for another thorough review, Andy. I purchased this charger based on your recommendation and am very happy with it. Keep up the fantastic work - love your channel!

[@DC-qy1qy]

Came here to learn how to use the charger and you also answered many questions about the batteries and how they work which is alot harder to find then you think. Thank you.

[@TheBeerBox80]

I love the PC link feature. I think it is a much easier way to control it as opposed to the control panel on the charger itself.

[@AndyRCchannel]

its nice if u are on the computer yes :-)

[@chandlersours3633]

Thank u for this video! I just ordered this charger and ur vid not only explained alot about the charger but also batteries as well.

[@Randy2747]

So much info (my head is spinning) I will have to watch it several times.. I am new to drones, batteries, and chargers... great vid!

[@incrypt_2220]

Awesome Review. Very thorough. Some very funny spots too that had me rolling on the floor... "Who would ever uses this feature?" "Oh, here's that feature. let's plug it in and see what it does..." Classic. I found your review after I finished reading the manual and found the manual insufficient. I really liked your review, and I actually like the PC app. I paused your video, downloaded the app, and and started playing with it as soon as you got to that part in your video, and saw how easy and powerful it could be. Duplicate of the device menu... Yeah, sure. All in one place, point-n-click... Oh yeah. Keep it up. Like the style.

[@AndyRCchannel]

thanks for the great feedback glad u enjoyed

[@martinmusther1555]

from someone that was considering using lipo's and didn't have a clue THANK YOU now very clear

[@AndyRCchannel]

no problem cheers

[@MrKen-sj5qi]

Thx, Andy RC. Very thorough, very informative. Rec'd my charger yesterday. The learning curve starts today...

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Mr. Ken great enjoy

[@edg6779]

Just bought it, features sound amazing

[@leonphillips3566]

Hi just getting into FPV and have watched a couple of your vids now... thank you!

[@tommacbride3654]

I needed that review! Well done, thank you! Cheers!

[@niechcekanalu]

Thanks for that review, I have ordered one SkyRC B6AC V2 charger and today should get it for test, now I know what to expect :)

[@Nicksurferuk]

Andy, just want to thank you for the most informative video I have seen on this charger and lipos in general, Really helpful. the wife is getting me this one for Christmas as my first "proper" charger for my Blade 200qx & 350qx quad batteries, Thanks mate!

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Nick Surfer RC good choice cheers

[@spoonyspoonicus4648]

Just bought one. I`m going to be using it for my airsoft battery`s . I was baffled by it but now i feel a lot more confident about using it so thanks.

[@JustusSaul]

Thank you for the video. Wasn't sure if I should buy this charger and did after watching your video. I am very satisfied with it. I really like that I can hook it up to my computer and start everything from there without having to deal with the fiddly menus on the device itself.

[@Shew0000]

Thanks for doing this review it was awesome.I have ordered one of these charges today and i can't wait for it to get here.Only four or five sleeps to go.

[@AndyRCchannel]

Roger Ramjet its a great little charger i use it every day. must order another!

[@carlosclaptrix]

Thanks for the information. I've got a B6ac fake, and it has been working fine so far. Now the extended possibilities of the v2 let me order one of these.

[@qwertyasdf66]

+1 for not making sit through you taking it out of the box.

[@johnmeksa3090]

You waste time talking erroneous information.

[@makeroaktree]

I think the wifi module is meaningful when you want to charge your LIPOs safely by keeping away in remote place or storing them into strong vault while charging them. It can help you monitor charging status remotely.

[@neilbaldwin4981]

many thanks friend, I'm 45 and haven't really got a clue, your making it all possible for me so please keep the videos coming..

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Neil Baldwin thanks for the feedback cheers!

[@steveeb00]

I was just minding my own business, letting KZbin autoplay through videos and I heard a familiar voice. Hello AndyRC!

[@Brandon3055]

Just a little info about charging multiple batteries in parallel. When connected in parallel as you sayd the cells are connected in parallel which means it WILL correctly balance each cell of each battery. The issue when charging batteries that have different starting voltages is that the instant you plug them in parallel the battery with the higher voltage will start to actually charge the battery with the lower voltage. Thats also not a terribly big issue if the batteries are both close to the same voltage and have a similar capacity. Over time they will balance out and both reach the exact same voltage. The big issue is when you add the current from your charger at 1 or 2C. Because current always takes the path of least resistance which in this case is the battery with the lower voltage all of the charge current + the overflow current from the battery with the higher voltage will be going into the battery with the lower voltage. This could push that battery past its max charge current. I suspect the batteries would balance out fairly quickly before doing any real damage but it may still shorten the life of the battery with the lower start voltage. I usually like to make sure my batteries are within .1 to .5 volts per cell difference. Also at such low voltages i suspect the resistance of the balance and charge leads will help to reduce the rush of current from the high battery to the low battery when you plug them in. Disclaimer: None of the information above comes from fact or research. It is based on my understanding of electronics and LiPo batteries. Also i suspect the temp sensor is more for batteries like Ni-Cd which tend to get a bit hot while charging.

[@BonemysterFPV]

Brandon3055 Yea, this is true and andy doesnt seem to know much on charging I would only charge batteries of same mah and same voltages.

[@BonemysterFPV]

Kapilan Dont mix batteries of different capacities.

[@BonemysterFPV]

Kapilan Do as you please

[@sayalaperbandel]

Imax b6 ac v2 or q6 plus ? I dont want to not satisfy quality or fun

[@guidelineuk]

If it's good enough for Andy ; ).... always love your detailed& informative reviews saved me a lot of time and money keep up the good work mate .

[@AndyRCchannel]

great enjoy!

[@andjusticeforall8813]

Now in 2022 I recommend the skyrc s65 Only does 1-4 cell but if you are needing a charger for 6s packs the b6 doesn’t cut it either Great little charger the s65, controlled cooling fan too Highly recommend it for starting out An all out AC powerhouse charger I recommend the skyrc 400w duo 👌🏻

[@scottydscottyd]

Great video. But I believe that the temperature sensor is so the charger can alarm and probably stop charging if the battery gets too hot.

[@victormeldroo]

Andy, i own this brillient charger thanks to your fantastic review, i used to be a gadget freak but these days i just need, simple to understand tech. you may be a geek as you say but your awsome at explaining tech. ps i love the pc software and the temp monitor. i use the hubson h501 with lots of drone and controller batteries, thanks god you made this vid.

[@CDKGarage]

are you still using this charger

[@AndyRCchannel]

yes i have 2 its my daily

[@HensonDigitalMedia]

Used this to learn about my new charger. Thanks again!

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Chuck Henson thanks for the feedback Chuck. cheers

[@johnwedrall7149]

does this charger come with the AC wall power source ?

[@AndyRCchannel]

+John Wedrall yes it does cheers

[@johnwedrall7149]

AndyRC. thanks for quickly answering my question 👍😎

[@Crazyoldman84]

John Wedrall Be careful it depends on seller. I bought one on Amazon and I checked in description first.

[@johnwedrall7149]

Spiderfly thank you for the heads up 👍

[@TheAarowsmith]

John Wedrall , also make sure it is genuine, another words not counterfeit. There are a lot on eBay & Amazon that are fakes. Make sure it has a factory brand name hologram sticker on bottom & Seller guarantees it to be authentic genuine Imax product.

[@johnwedrall7149]

Will you post a link as to where to order this charger ? 😎

[@nw8000]

Will it charge a Dyson Batter?

[@michaelsimi2397]

Thanks Andy RC. I picked up a dedicated 1s 4 battery charger.

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Michael Simi great good luck with it

[@garymarquart9971]

Thanks, just the help I needed !

[@adamjcohn]

Thanks Andy. You are one of the few that I a subscribed to. I figured it was an average as well.

[@ecord87]

Great review! Do you happen to know how to calibrate it?

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Eric Cordeiro it does not need any calibration :)

[@ecord87]

I am running into an issue where it is not fully charging my batteries. On the charger it'll read 4.2/cell but on 2 different multi-meters it only reads 4.08-4.11. Losing out on a lot of battery.

[@jakeboynz]

Thanks for the video very useful. I'm just about to buy one. I will also need a parallel charging board so looking around for one. I have a question. I watched a video where someone said they check the voltage of the battery using a voltage checker before charging. Can the imax b6 check the voltage prior to charging the battery? This would save me from buying a battery voltage checker. Thanks

[@shinybrain9975]

did u find out

[@6rilllir6]

Hey Andy, would you know if this charger can charge a LiHV battery (fully) ? Lipo High voltage, 4.35v/cell, instead of 4.2 Thanks for time! and great review!

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Hey Andy, should I get mini version instead of this one ?

[@neal4254]

well all i can say if this charger is enough for Andy this would be amazing for me..always buy the stuff that you are reviewing and found that all is always as you describe on your videos..thank you for this

[@AndyRCchannel]

yep love these chargers thanks

[@snakefireblast]

Great informative video best review I have seen for this charger

[@NaruChan10]

I've bought the same battery you used here and before i charge it for the first time, i noticed it has already some power in it, i don't know if it is fully charged (however i think its not). I would like to know if i have to discharge it for some reason or i can just charge it from what i already have. Btw the charger is imax b6ac (v1 i think cause no version is shown on it). Thanks!

[@AndyRCchannel]

if it is fresh out the box then it will have a storage charge. usually 3.8v per cell. u can check that by plugging the battery into the balance cable and then move to the volt meter in the charger. 3.8v is storage and 4.2 is fully charged. the charger has an discharge option too yes

[@NaruChan10]

Yes that was the voltage indeed, 3.8 per cell, I've charged it until it reached the max voltage, 4,20 (Balanced charging ofc). I hope i did well...

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Taaku E yes sounds correct to me

[@NaruChan10]

Nice! Thanks for the help! :)

[@AndyRCchannel]

any time

[@joshuanorris5860]

Does it have regenerative discharge?

[@Soulcommander]

Hi Andy......nice video and yes I know you did it a while back. :) Do you know does the latest firmware update the charger to charge LIHV batteries? Also do you have a recommendation for a drone to use the Venom 220mAh 3.8v battery these are 30 C and LIHV, I got them and have nothing to fly them with....would love to try some FPV with a tiny inside drone if these would work with them.

[@ooaqici82qb4ip]

Great video. It answered all my questions,well done

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Phil hayward no problem phil cheers

[@wadedittus3552]

What is a good battery to use as an external DC power source for field charging

[@AndyRCchannel]

i use 1000mah 4s multistar

[@wadedittus3552]

AndyRC thanks for your video. It was /is greatly helpful. I'm new to the hobby and learning from scratch.... 😀

[@jasondonavich2758]

Question, say I'm parallel charging 4 1300 mah 3s batteries do I set the amps on the charger at 1.3 amps or do I add up all 4 batteries and charge at the overall amperage?

[@Snafu2346]

Do I need to adjust any kind of settings on this charger for "storage" battery setting? You said that it is a good setting at 3.8 ish volts per cell for storage. 3.3 for when the battery is critically low. And fully charged its around 4.2v per cell. Does this charger automatically know that 3.8v per cell is a regular setting or it is something I have to do myself?

[@russkiebetta]

Interested in this question too

[@terryallen3550]

Thanks Andy, I brought one. Just wondering what the bar graph looks like after a full charge ? If its just a straight line, start to finish or it's showing actual charge over time ? I'd imagine it would change as the lipo warms up and factors unbeknowns, don't know. The PC link would be good for less wear on the buttons over the years of use or if one should fail. Thanks bro :-)

[@رجلمنأقصىالمدينة-ع1ذ]

I think the usb is used to update the firmware.

[@GrowLegal420]

can you give me the link please for this charger?

[@jonnyoliver5028]

Hi Andy Is it okay to discharge from the parallel board with multiple batteries? Thanks Jonny

[@pappaclutch3266]

Jonny Oliver yes, as long as they are all the same cell count ex:( all 2s)

[@StupidTVclips]

27:10 it's got mammaries? Well that's titillating!

[@shinybrain9975]

do u have to calibrate it

[@stlkev]

After hours of internet research and KZbin video reviews I purchased the SKYRC IMAX B6AC v2 ac/dc dual power professional balance charger/discharger through the Walmart website for $54. I had two Black & Decker Firestorm 24 volt NICD batteries that would not charge correctly on the original Firestorm charger for four cordless power tools (hammer drill, circular saw, jigsaw and reciprocating saw). I had very few hours used on those power tools and was about to get rid of them because the batteries were dead, and new batteries were too expensive, and wasn't sure if my Firestorm charger was defective. I found one video explaining weight of 630? grams for the official SKYRC charger (not fake or clone version), and that's the SKYRC charger I purchased (the ones weighing less are the fake ones and usually cost less). My SKYRC charger also had the big air holes on the bottom of the charger, as well as the hologram verification sticker which you can verify through the SKYRC website. Very pleased to know this BEFORE I made my online purchase. When my package arrived and I opened the box (it was a white box with a picture of the blue charger, with black and red lettering on the box), I checked for the big air holes on the bottom of the charger and the hologram sticker. It's handy to have a multi-meter voltage tester (mine is from Harbor Freight) to test battery voltages (which I had been doing before purchasing the SKYRC charger). DON'T HOLD THE WIRES ON THE BATTERY TOO LONG, THE WIRES MAY GET EXTREMELY HOT! Before hooking up the SKYRC charger to my dead Firestorm batteries, battery #1 was at 6 volts, and battery #2 was at 1.5 volts. I was able to use a cell phone usb charger cable to connect the SKYRC charger to my laptop computer, then I went to the SKYRC.COM website and searched for Charge Master v2.02_0901 and downloaded that file, then got the free RAR unzipping app (wherever you can find that, mine was found on Microsoft's website) to unzip that file. Run the install program, go to your desktop and double-click the ChargeMaster icon, and wow! Before downloading and updating the firmware for the SKYRC charger I already charged both near-dead Firestorm 24 volt batteries with success (battery #1 charged to 27 volts and I stopped the charging process manually, and battery #2 charged to 20.5 volts and the SKYRC charger stopped charging automatically saying "max charge complete" or something similar). I kept a close eye on the charger when doing this because I'm a novice at this stuff. Sorry for the wordiness, but it beats viewing hours and hours of youtube. In short, BUY THE SKYRC IMAX B6AC V2 AC/DC DUAL POWER PROFESSIONAL BALANCE CHARGER/DISCHARGER! It will save you so much time, money and aggravation. READ THE MANUAL, VIEW THE KZbin VIDEOS TOO!

[@JavierPerez-md3ho]

have you charged lead acid battery

[@sapata1871]

Hi Andy , Nice video Thx,. Have you updated to LIHV yet ? Hoping you could do a video. Good day .

[@AndyRCchannel]

no i dont like them too much i switched to graphene cheers

[@LordKaos666]

Pal, do you know what happens while powering on with DEC + ENTER buttons pressed? The display mention "system update"...but I can't find what is that. Thanks!

[@AndyRCchannel]

***** i think any firmware updates are done through the usb lead on. computer. im sure what you found is the hard way of doing it :-)

[@LordKaos666]

AndyRC And about calibrations like un the fake version? Is it necessary? Greetings.

[@AndyRCchannel]

nah no need to mess with it

[@3OYKAS]

Hello Andy thank you for all your videos i am a new guy and i have 7.4v batteries 2C....can you please tell me what is the lowest and safe vaultage of discharge so you do not damage this batteries. Is it 3.5v for each sell or is it 3v?

[@AndyRCchannel]

3.5 is the lowest thanks

[@DavidPennes-z9k]

I have not found a setting whereby I can charge a half discharged NiMH battery pack to full charge without first completely discharging it.

[@RCSteve]

Great video very informative used this video to set up my charger, one question when i look at end voltage on my charger it says 8.4v(2S) and my battery is 7.4(2s) should i be concerned about this?

[@AndyRCchannel]

a fully charged 2s is 8.4 depleated is 6.9

[@RCSteve]

Thanks for that

[@1973canim]

hi Andy, do you recomend this charger! i'm planning on buying a charger but not sure which!! bought a fake IMAX b6 and it sucks from eBay.😅😅 i'm wiling to spend about 60€ for something new. what do you recomend. thanks

[@AndyRCchannel]

yes i do. iv got two of them for all my batteries :)

[@MushypeasDMc]

I'm a noob this vid has really helped me thank you for your time

[@frigorush]

Really useful review! Thanks!!! Buy one of this

[@AndyRCchannel]

thanks for watching

[@Agalofix]

What minute of the video is about time limit?

[@subvids4003]

Hi AndyRC, is it possible you show us how to charge 1s batteries with this charger? Or how you charge yours. Thanks.

[@AndyRCchannel]

i dont charge 1s with this one i use hobby tiger 1s charger

[@permapsy2020]

Andy, how did you hook up the 4000 mah battery from your high end quadcopterbuild to the balance port on this charger? my charger didn't come with an adaptor for this.

[@AndyRCchannel]

+Perma Psy yes you need a HXT 4mm Connector to XT60 Female adapter

[@permapsy2020]

+AndyRC Help me please? I took what you said and then decided to cut the HXT 4mm connector off the battery and attach a female XT-60 connector. I actually cut into both wires at the same time and witnessed noisy spark patterns fly past my eyes. After attaching the new connector I fully charged the battery. I then attached the power module to the quad terminals directly (cut off the female end). When I tried to connect the battery to the quadcopter the gold metal of the ground lead connections on both male and female XT-60 fittings burned away. I'm pretty sure there is good connection to the quad and there was good fitting done to the XT-60 connector. Any ideas?

[@AndyRCchannel]

im afraid cutting the wires both together at the same time will instantly fry your battery. stop using it immediately it is very dangerous. dispose of it at a battery disposal unit of you could well havew a fire on your hands. it also sounds like you may have connected up the positive and ground the wrong way to the quad. thats the only reason anything will burn (a short)

[@permapsy2020]

+AndyRC Mate the general consensus from around the internet and from a hobby shop I went to is that the battery should be okay. When I plug it into the SkyRC B6AC V2 everything is as normal. I hooked all positives and negatives up the correct way. I did continuity testing with my multimeter on the quadcopter power distribution board and on the power module that came with the Pixhawk. I have now tried it again and the same thing happened. I'm at my wits end. Could I send 2 photos to you?

[@permapsy2020]

Another thought... I did Ohm testing (for continuity) and no matter which positive and negative on the power distribution board I put the probes on I get 1.2 Ohms. I also get 1.2 Ohms if I put the probes on the XT-60 connections (on the quadcopter). Since this is such a low resistance wouldn't this be pretty much the same as shorting the circuit? I don't understand how it's NOT going to short?

[@benny76tan31]

HI ANdy, can you please explain why the charger only charges at 6 amps from an external power supply (this one I know because of the 6A limit of charger) and the AC power supply is only capable of 3A ? Thank you

[@interman7715]

ben76Rc I have the version 1 and it easily charges at 5 amps on AC , this version would easily do 6 amps I would imagine,if you look carefully at the video when Andy plugs in those batteries he puts it well over 4.2.

[@camsamesh]

Awesome explanation. I recently left my Avionic lipo charger unattended and when I returned back home battery was exploded, charger was burnt and I was completely shocked. This time gonna try b6av v2 and I see it's made out of aluminium which is a good thing because it will not catch fire like the plastic body. As I am running out of money I am gonna fly virtual quad (Drl simulator) . Thanks for the Video, every bit the Vdo was useful.

[@AndyRCchannel]

the hobby is a money pit sadly if it helps i spend everything i earn on it lol cheers

[@camsamesh]

Recently ordered mini brushed quad from banggood and now Indian custom department is holding it and I found that it's not legal in India to use quadcopers, i have explained that it's a toy quad. Let me see how far they agree.this might be the end of quad journey

Your review will be much better if you review the SKYRC B6AC V2 rather than comparing what you are reviewing to the old toy-like chargers of your yester years. This suggestion will be good for your future reviews..

[@bibibiskouaz5867]

Very useful review. Many thanks.

[@stephenmaas8775]

Hey... which skyRC is the newest version? I noticed this video was made 7years ago. Also could you not use the discharge setting with your batteries individually to match before you try to use that multi battery plate you was using, would that work?

[@benfreig3932]

hello Andy i have a question about the discharge option. lipo battery. i want to discharge it so what is the right Ah that i supose to put if i have battery lipo 5400mAh 11.1V 3S ? thank you

[@AndyRCchannel]

this charger only discharges very slowly AT ABOUT 0.3a from what i have tried despite setting it as high as possible

[@benfreig3932]

So what r u recommend me to do: I have battery lipo 5400mAh 11.1V 3S and i want to discharge it. the charger option is between 0.1 up to 2.0 on Discharge mode. what do u think i should do?

[@brianredmond4919]

I have the same charger but it seems to do its own thing on discharge . I set it for say 1 amp but it discharges at 300ma and intermittently at that . Any ideas ?.

[@rogersharp7104]

Andy, thanks for that review. I have bought this model now, and have two questions. a) Trying discharge at 2A on a 3S 50000 mAh lipo (drone crashed so need to drain the lipo a bit) BUT ... the discharge rate automatically sets to 0.4A, even though I set 2A both in battery profile, and the actual setting. Any idea why this happens? b) You say minimum safe volts is 3.3 but the b6ac v2 default setting is 3.2v ... Any comments on that?

[@AndyRCchannel]

+roger sharp i have had the same problem while discharging. it seems to be limited to .4 amps. my opinion is that 3.2 is too low

[@rogersharp7104]

+AndyRC Thanks for that confirmation. At least it is not a fault! I have sent an email to SkyRC with the same Q, and will share any reply. I have also changed the default minimum to 3.3v - better to be safe!

[@AndyRCchannel]

you are best discharging the batteries to 3.8v per cell. this is optimum storage voltage to preserve their life

[@rogersharp7104]

+AndyRC Ahhh ! I am "up to something" .... I want to see what effect discharging to 3.3v and then recharging has on the IR of my shiny new Multistar 3S lipo (was an unimpressive 10 6 8). I need some amusement whilst waiting for new props to arrive :) So thought I would test out the various capabilities of the B6ACv2. Next comes connection to the laptop!

[@rogersharp7104]

+AndyRC I got a reply from SkyRC. The max discharge of the B6ACv2 is 5 watts, so the max discharge current depends on the battery voltage. For a 3S this means 11.7v x 0.4A = 5watts (roughly).

[@SurferBobbyLew]

The usb pc link cable is that a special cable or can I use any micro usb. I have plenty that fit but none of the them seem to work. Charge master says not connected???

[@AndyRCchannel]

any USB cable that transfers data yes. some USB cables just charge. those won't work

[@edwardthompson3213]

It doesn't charge at 6A its 3 amp max so is it only good for 3000mah batterys only .what if you need to charge a 6000 mah would it take like 12hours ? Why say 6A if 3.1A is max

[@AndyRCchannel]

you plug in an external power supply the 3a is just from AC does that answer the question?

[@interman7715]

AndyRC I have the original one and it charges at 5 amp on ac .

[@jetmartin9501]

Great video...much appreciated!!!! Can you use this charger to charge LiHV batteries? I didn't see LiHV listed as an option on the charger or the PC UI....but I saw it as an option on the phone app? What is the dealio? Maybe you can just set the charge/cell to be 4.35Vs? I'm guessing...can you confirm if that's right? I really need to know because I've got some LiHV batteries and need to make sure this charger can charge LiHV batteries. Thanks in advance. PS..I'm a subscriber.

[@iangardner2145]

B6av ver 2 total discharge maximin is 6 amps, therefore a 3 s battery max charge is 2 amps per cell ( the actual rate is adjustable), a b3 ac charger charges at 700mA (fixed)

[@chrishealey1641]

Nice review thanks for the information

[@sandybuttau731]

I have had this product for the last 4 plus years. It has worked perfectly up until the last few days. I believe it has something to do with the three pronged AC IN. It keeps shutting off. I dare not continue using it, just in case. I may have to get another one. Have you done a review on the latest Skyrc balance charger: B6EVO. Thanks. Great channel...

+AndyRC You are very welcome. Your video helped me to learn how to use this charger. So actually, for a basic charge will I only need the cable with the black and red connectors that provide the power to the battery, and the XT60 connector? and also, what are the other cables for? It's would be very appreciated if you could answer me. Thank you.

+MyRemoteControl Hobby the other cables are for charing batteries with different connectors than xt60 for example JST or futaba

Great video, if we compare it with isdt q6 lite what is the better option. Thanks

Thank you for the vid Andy...very informative for novice like me.... couple questions...I'm sure you have answered them 100 times in the comments but there are to many to read through! lol. 1. Are all settings the same if I choose to use DC power source via car battery (Cigarette lighter) to charge multiple batteries in parallel? 2. I have 4- 7.4v2s 3000Mah batteries for the AOSENMA CG035. It only has the 3 pin plug, with very thin B,W,R wires...will the SkyRC and a Parallel board work, to charge multiple batteries of this type, in AC and/or DC? ~thanks

[@AndyRCchannel]

it will work yes and theres no difference using a car battery cheers

I can charge all 4 at the same time? what do i need to do this, for a tidy little package? yes i know i have no clue... thanks again~
