Automatically slow charges a low discharged lipo until it gets back into the acceptable range and then cranks amps back up...other chargers you have to manually charger low discharged lipo on Nihm to bring to life and then charge normal.

Seriously, there is no need for any of that stuff. It's really not hard to learn how to care for and maintain batteries. The only thing anybody should be using is a standard charger like the D300, with bullets or XT60/XT90 connectors. Proprietary connectors are 100% designed to stop you from observing the health of the battery and lock you into buying more proprietary junk. Traxxas, for example, really doesn't want you to check the IR of their packs, or monitor the balance. Fishy.

When i want to charge 2x2S batteries, S2100 is able to charge 12A per channel and 9000mAH batteries are fully charged in 25 minutes from storage voltage. SkyRC seems similar on the paper, but it can manage only 5-6A per one channel on 2S. And it is often much slower about 2A. So paper values are one thing and real usage is the second.

It is easy to calculate the voltage a charger will charge at. The formula is Wattage divided by volage. So take your 6 cell lipo, nominal volage 22.2 volte divided into the wattage 300w. 300/22.2 = 13.51amps. So if you know what the nominal voltage of you pack and the wattage of the charger you can solve for top charging amps. If the charger says it will only charge up to X voltage and that is lower, then is is not using all the wattage because it is limited by the weakest component in the charger. They don't want to be sued if it catches fire.

I've been saying this for years, we need a standardized plug for charging and the balance lead needs to be integrated into the main not it's own separate plug. But this will never happen because of the big names in the industry like Traxxas and Horizon wanting their own tech. ISDT actually tried to get everyone to switch over to their Battgo system a few years ago but it flopped as no one jumped on board with them, that same tech is what Horizon uses in their Spektrum Smart chargers and batteries.

AC-powered chargers can't output very many amps or watts because the AC-to-DC power supply in them isn't very large. If you want lots of amps and watts, get a DC-only charger and a pair of hot-swappable Dell server power supplies.

The Ultra Power UP8 is the most powerful charger you can buy for a reasonable price. It runs at 400w AC and 600w DC. It also costs £120. So cheaper than the D300. It's an absolute bargain.

@@AMain_Hobbies Well that sucks. I love Gens Ace but I feel like AC chargers NEED an on/off switch because they can be left plugged in and easily turn them on and off instead of having to unplug it constantly or leave it running which wastes power.
