ToolkitRC Q6AC 4-channel lipo charger - best lipo charger with 1000 watts at under $200

[@RadRaf]

I've recently learned of this brand even though I think they have been around for a while. I learned at ProLine By The Fire 2023 that our family of 4 at an event like this really can't do without a 4 channel charger or 2 dual chargers which is what we ended up doing. Selling the two and slimming down to 1 should make things better! Thanks for highlighting this product and it's value!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on. You are soooo lucky with a family of 4 playing. For myself and others, what's really cool is to charge and store lipos all at once! 1 hour instead of 4 hours. And that's really cool cause one can be around set up and clean up and it's actually safer since one is right there in the rc pit or garage.

[@Toaster808]

INstead of ditching the chargers you're used to, look into getting a couple of parallel charging boards instead. They can be had for about $15 and can charge up to 6 batteries at once, utilizing only one of your charger's ports. Do some research on them before using, because there are a couple of things you need to be aware of when using a parallel board, like making sure that the starting voltage of the vatteries you're hooking up is withing a couple tenths of a volt, and only using the same cell count at a time, but beyond that, they're pretty convenient to have in your charging box.

@@Toaster808 thanks for the tip! The only thing is it needs to be easy enough to get the kiddos onboard to being able to utilize them. I was able to teach them the lipo settings, let me look into your suggestion. Thanks!

[@ericfroehlich976]

Might be the perfect charger. So much data and usability for that price.

[@Ferra3904]

I was going to buy the Gens Ace imars 300d, but now I'll just get this to be ready when the kids are ready to come along. Awesome price! My go-to channel for no bull reviews and solid info! Thank you

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, this is my daily charger now and it is a workhorse.

[@Toaster808]

On AC you're limited to 15A becauser that's what most residential outlets will have their breakers at. If you go over that, you'll trip the breaker for that curcuit. That's why on DC you're not limited like that. The charger also doesn't have to run the incoming power through the internal rectifier circuit to turn that AC incoming power into DC which will be used to actually charge the batteries. Nice unit.

[@EMTBReview]

I think the real reason is these are small chargers and a 1000 watt ac/dc inverter power supply will be big, heavy and expensive. They don't want to package that in if few are going to use such power capacity. The residential outlet is not really an issue as most of us have microwave ovens and hairdryers at home that operate at up to 1500 watts.

[@flaredcanvas884]

No, the voltage in the outlet is either 110 or 220 depending on the amount of eagles around you. With 16a normal outlet can provide you can use 1760 or 3520 watts respectfully. The 16a in the charger setting is the amperage from its internal ac-dc converter at around 24v so it results in 400w of power. Also most houses have numerous outlets connected to a single breaker so it has more amps rating meaning you can use more than 16a from a single socket though it brings some fire safety issues.

[@rossmessick5974]

That’s a nice unit, but I still like my NHX EZ PRO 4 port. It sounds like the features and price are nearly identical, but the layout on the unit is easier, and the NHX comes with nearly its cost in charging cables ! Nice video as usual Francis!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep an eye on that brand. Soooooo many free cables. I think the only downside is the display and the old 4-button style menus

[@rossmessick5974]

@@RCReviewChannel agreed! The display is ok but nothing fancy, and the button style is less than impressive, but still very functional. I’ve had mine a year now and it’s still perfect after tons of use at home and out on extended trips in very dirty/rough conditions and it’s absolutely like day one so I still give it an excellent review!

[@bigeclipse718]

The NHX unit is too big and only does 400 watts

[@JohnCurtisPiano]

15amp is the max on a 15amp breaker, shoulda tried it on a 20 amp circuit :)

[@cryptocryptic1186]

hoi how are you doing? i would like to know what brand of adapter are you using xt60 to ec5 pls and have a blessed day

[@MrBoomtheroom]

how many amps drawn from power outlet? does it need to be tripped at higher than 10amp outlet?

[@Awakendabeast13]

I’m new to the hobby I was about to pull the trigger on Hota sd6 I figured I’d wait for Black Friday. I’m leaning toward this I like the new and improved. Any other suggestions please let me know

[@cryptocryptic1186]

can you make a video with this charger on how to calibrate it with input/output/cell voltage please

[@dslfrk59]

You will be able to hit the 1000watts max outputs if you use a 1000watt 24v dc power supply.

[@227giorgio]

I have a bluetti ac180 I use for the field but the battery u have I'm looking into with the 200wh. So u can just go right from the post to xt90?

[@spencertidd]

I wish someone would provide a charger with the ability to program battery "templates" that can be saved for later recall - so you would configure a template for each battery type you have, give it a name or a number then you can just recall it, and choose charge/discharge/balance and the rate and off you go. The HTRC T400 seems to have something like that but I've heard some horror stories....

[@dslfrk59]

You can set up battery types in this charger. So when you hit start you choose your program and off you go.

[@Nic-bd6bj]

often charges need 24V + for maximum output...

[@RCReviewChannel]

You know..... I did notice that. I do have 24v batteries or an inverter. This one topped out at 570watts on my DC source and that's probably the issue. I thought it was my battery watt output.

[@russellsowersby5840]

Wonder how many amps it can charge at?

[@RCReviewChannel]

250 watts per channel. So for a 6s, it can charge at 12 amps, then it will drop to 10 amps as the voltage increases.

[@russellsowersby5840]

@@RCReviewChannel nice ty for the answers

[@StreetSweeperTv]

Doesn’t seem available as of yet…?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Oh yeah, November 15 availability. Sorry about that. They released on Nov. 1 so you'll see it all over media now. I wish companies sold and released on the same day. This is standard on many industries now but not on RC

[@russellsowersby5840]

Junsi is still the best hands down

[@RCReviewChannel]

That one has more power for sure. I don't see a 4-channel from them though.

[@russellsowersby5840]

@@RCReviewChannel very true they only have a double but that thing is nice for sure

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

Very nice charger. 😉

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, I bought a $40 toolkitrc charger before and was impressed. This one seems to be well built. I think they're good with electronics and build the base charger engine for many brands.

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

@@RCReviewChannel I have a SkyRC T100. It's good and I can charge two baterys but the problem is that this charger is slow when I balance

[@malder8505]

Весь корпус у него хрустит качество дерьмо , куча случаев выхода из строя у этой фирмы

[@RCReviewChannel]

This seems to be the best built charger we’ve ever tried.

[@malder8505]

@@RCReviewChannel it has good functionality, a lot of settings, but this company has always produced budget devices, they went too far in terms of cost for this model. I chose sky rc D200 neo, it has fewer settings but it is quite accurate.
