Thanks for the video! I’m going to purchase this charger to do my X Maxx batteries 🤙🏼

[@allanwilson8642]

I just bought this charger, new to rc electric so steep learning curve for me! Videos and information like this is excellent, thanks for posting it 👍.

[@thercsyndicate9867]

Thank you very much. When I went to compete I took this charger and was able to run without any worries or running out of power. I could have taken a whole bunch of batteries too but packing lighter and having the charger to handle the demand was a way better route.

I was going to buy a ProTek prodigy duo dual charger today for 119$ but figured why not get this one for 87$, was able to pick up a couple zee batts with the savings. Thanks for the video!

[@thercsyndicate9867]

Heck yeah. That’s awesome. I really put this charger to work during the comp runs and it never let me down. Thank you very much for your comment and support.

[@alittleofeverything153]

Thanks for the video. Just got one.

[@corsairmotorwerks547]

Just bought the same charger and I’m thoroughly impressed. I also have the cheap Prophet charger so now I can charge 3 batteries at once. I’m the battery king!!! Lol

[@MLZ1957]

Thanks for your great video. I have a Yuneec Q500 quad drone and have been through tons of Lipo batteries. I'll admit I was not handling the batteries correctly. The charger that came with the drone stinks. I just bought this unit from Amazon and it will arrive today. Your video reaffirms my decision to get this charger.

[@jmnaylor]

Great job on the video!

[@jeffthompson2967]

Good Video for getting started with using my new C240 DUO Charger. I haven't looked yet, maybe you already created a video for it. But, it would be nice to see a video on some of the "other" function's, for example: Discharging, When & Why / Recording specific steps... Just a thought...

[@dougprentiss]

Thanks for the information. I have a 240 Duo and was looking for additional from the manual. My manual was for a single unit so seeing the specific unit i am using was helpful. I am charging 11.1 v lipos using the balanced charge connection and balanced charge setting. Am I correct in thinking the only time I would use the straight "charge" setting would be for batteries without a computer connection?

[@rodneyrobbie]

Cool i got the same charger! Its been great so far!

[@tonyslawncare]

Super cool!

[@darrelhughes9090]

Great Video, better than reading the instruction manual, lol! Thank you Brother, very informative 👍!

[@thercsyndicate9867]

Haha awesome. I’m glad it helped out a little. I’ve been charging packs like no other through these chargers and solid. No issues. A solid purchase.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Nice video. Does that loud fan run all the time?

[@Pauly_______]

Im receiving this charger in a boat purchase and just checking ahead. I also have 2 duo venom chargers well over a year and they work flawlessly. I'm starting to feel like a battery store with my collection of batteries 😂

[@Palmit_]

10:49 whats the number on the bottom right? (just under the voltage)

[@flat-earther]

do you know what's the difference between *LiPo Balance CHG* and *LiPo Charge*

[@jasonsuffolkuk]

Can you power it from a 12v battery when in the field ?

[@Palmit_]

whats the pc link software do ?

[@sedrickchilders883]

I have a 6s 6000mah battery. Been on charger for min and not done yet. Is that normal?

[@paulscrivener4307]

Hi, I've just bought one of those chargers, its great, do you happen to know what the storage voltage charge shuts down at, great video man,, I've subbed,

[@flat-earther]

manual says storage voltage LiPo 3.85V, LiIo 3.75V, LiHV 4.35V

[@Tanker831]

All in all good charger but ch2 on mine won’t do anything just says reverse polarity

[@subozor]

Is this a good charger for someone who mostly has cars from Amazon such as Hiaboxing and WLtoys ? or just stick with the slow usb chargers that came in the box ?

[@thercsyndicate9867]

If you are able to charge with a battery plug and you have a balance plug then yes. This would be a great option. Batteries like ones from the scx24 or lost mini t have their batteries charge through the balance plug. If the amp hours are 500 or less I think the usb would be just fine.

[@pedmar0072]

I have a question. Is it best to set the charger to accurate when balance charging or leave it at its default standard setting?

[@flat-earther]

IDK but I set mine to accurate because why not be as accurate as possible

[@joaquimteixeira6983]

Nice explanation Does this charger comes with Ec3 connectors

[@dylanbrookbank1935]

No but you Can use the positive and negative alligator clips.

[@muchodedos]

Can i charge 2 lipo 9000 mah¿?

[@RickyD1968]

You should get this one even better HTRC T400 Pro balance charger

[@arcaderacer586]

Can you tell me exactly what you did wrong when charging? What settings did you use? And what settings should you have used? Im fairly new myself any info would be good. What exactly is high voltage ? I only know. 2s 3s etc

[@thercsyndicate9867]

Great question. So Lipo charging on the charger should read “LiPo” like normal. High voltage are not “LiPo” but actually “LiHV” Lithium polymer high voltage. Charging at the lipo setting created heat causing the pack to swell.

[@arcaderacer586]

@@thercsyndicate9867 man that is the things that cause those big ass fires isnt it? Wow that is a mistake anyone new like me could make. I ordered the charger today and thanks for the information.

[@thercsyndicate9867]

I made a mistake and luckily nothing happened. Make sure you always charge your lipos in a lipo bag incase you haven’t been yet. Thank you for your comment.

[@bigpapa8635]

Great review, why not charge that 1500 battery at 1.5 AMPs ? why are you dropping it all the way down to .5?

[@thercsyndicate9867]

I appreciate it. I think I was just kinda showing you can charge independently with different voltages. I charge my lipos at half or a little over half of the capacity but other have told me I can charge at at capacity. 1500mah =1.5amps. Back on the olden days of cheapbatteries.com labeled to charge at half the capacity.

[@jalee6587]

It's perfectly fine to charge at 1c rate.example 5A for a 5000mah battery, 2.2A for a 2200mah. That's a standard charge rate.

[@Fuck_Tarentum_Boro]

i just picked one of these C240 up to make the switch from traxxas charger/batteries. traxxas charger was only about a year old and decided to randomly stop reading batteries. Decided im not buying another $80/90 traxxas charger so this charger and Amazon batteries it is..

[@thercsyndicate9867]

This charger is freaking and I’m all about the Amazon Batteries

[@Fuck_Tarentum_Boro]

@@thercsyndicate9867 I really like it so far. As easy to use as the Traxxas charger with more functionality and overall better. The dual channel alone is a big upgrade from my old single battery traxxas charger

[@matelslug1]

Does this charger show individual cell volt while charging???

[@daveriley4553]

yes it can
