This has been a truly in dept unbiased display. Great job. Sometime we get tired of the " opinions / " views" of some of the reviews. Just explain how it works and let us decide if we like / dislike the product

Best video ever done on a RC charger. So easy to understand. So I went out and bought this one. Well done RC Escape. Thank You Sir

I accidentally left the charger on the default charging amps which is 15A! My battery charged really fast(4S 1500mah 100c) but my god I’m glad I didn’t make my battery explode! Thanks for this video to show the basics.

I really like this and may pick one up I wish they would make this in a four bank system I don’t do a lot of drone or flying but I have a lot of crawlers and trail trucks

[@Rudimentary007]

Great info. Subbed my brother.👍👍🔥

[@WildCaptures]

Pretty serious charger and the price is really decent, I wish this was available 4 years ago. I should Ebay all my chargers and buy this one👍

[@RCEscape]

It's an awesome charger Steve!!! Keep the ones you have and use this one as a field charger :)

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

[@wilfredoortiz8932]

With my D6 duo pro on AC I actually charged on ch1 10.5 and on ch2 5a at the same time I haven't pushed it further yet.

[@kevintargethobby1528]

Great review, very detail

[@RCEscape]

Thanks :)

[@neomayad]

You skipped ext discharge. With both batteries connected the External discharge says "do not connect the battery! Confirm". What does this mean? I can't get past that screen.

[@jrmayun]

Can you check the IR without charging first?

[@moparbro]

Whoa

[@eddiedavis346]

Nice review, nice charger. I have a B6 and it's good enough for me, I just wish it had a power button. Plugging and unplugging it when I use it is kind of a pain.

[@RCEscape]

Eddie Davis That is exactly what I have been using and it has done me good so far for some three or so years but this one is like having 6 of those chargers in one!! I have mines on a power strip so I use the on / off button on the power strip to power it on.

[@dronereviewman9580]

RC Escape. If you want to sell your old one please let me know!!! I am using a tiny little e3-balance charger that came with the grasshopper f210 rtf race drone!! It is the worst charger. I charged one and then used my friends charger and found out that the cell's where not even close to the same and my friend said thats not to good 4 the battery!!! And it gets so warm i think something is going to melt!!!!!! Thanks 4 this review

[@CanadianDroneHub]

very nice review

[@RCEscape]

Thanks bro :)

[@avsaase]

If only using one channel, can it use the full 200W on AC power?

[@juliomanalo7074]

My channel 2 works fine but channel 1 says ‘current operation not supported’. What could be wrong?

[@DavidFaxon]

Hey thanks for this video. Question, if you have a battery that has a bad cell and you need to retire it, do you suggest fully discharging it on this charger or buying on of those heat conductor things and having the battery drain completely that way before disposing? New to the hobby, thanks!

[@RCEscape]

Thanks! Either way should be fine. Instead of retiring the battery, take it apart and dispose of the bad cell if it completely cannot be recharged and save the good ones for another project :)

[@DavidFaxon]

@@RCEscape okay cool thanks for the advice. Do you know how long it would take to discharge a 4s battery that is at storage capacity? I know discharging is much slower but I can’t find the answer.

[@kyostipoysti1036]

hey excellent video. i have just picked this one up except the HOTA one. and I also picked up an xt60 parallel board. does it work with parallel charging? do you have a video for it?

[@RCEscape]

no video needed on that one. simply connect the parallel board and enjoy :)

[@kyostipoysti1036]

@@RCEscape thank you for your reply sir really appreciate it. I'm new to quad and this hobby just trying to figure out safe way to charge my lipos. I know that if I use a parallel board it needs to be same cell (if 6s then all 6s) what about the current and voltage setting? how do i set it up in the d6 duo pro? like if I am charging 4 6s batteries on a parallel board that has 1500mah each 100c ?

[@CreativeOutlaw]

I really want to buy this charger but I'm having a tough time finding the right parallel board(s) on Amazon. I pretty much only want to charge 2s and 3s batteries for my Leader 120 and all the boards I see seem to either only have xt60 connectors on the board, or if they have xt30 connectors (like all of my batteries), the main connectors from the board to the charger are banana plugs :( . I would also prefer it to have fuses of some kind. Any recommendations? Why does the Strix Joshua Bardwell line only do 1s 4s 5s and skips 2s and 3s altogether?

[@RCEscape]

www.amazon.com/Xt30-plug-Parallel-Charging-Adaptor-Batteries/dp/B075GNJ28Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1531967748&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=xt30+parallel+board&psc=1 you need to convert the connector to xt60.

[@Cappurnikus]

What you want is a connector from XT60 to Banana plugs. Having said that, make sure that your charger supports whatever balance lead comes with your charging board. I got the Strix JB 4s board which I assumed would come with a 4s balance lead... but it lead to a 6s connector which doesn't work with my charger.

[@tomaschmelevskij623]

Had Hota version, AC stopped working after few months, bangood won't refund 😭 Don't know if would take take the risk now of getting another one...

[@michael.mccauley]

That's a nice looking charger and a great review. How do you think this one compares to the SKYRC AC DC D100 Dual Balance Charger?

[@RCEscape]

I looked at the specs on the skyrc charger and looks like the hobbymate charger is just about twice as more powerful than it.

[@michael.mccauley]

Thanks for the info!

[@claudiocosterni6488]

Hello man, if the max cut-off voltage [End voltage] the user is allowed to choose in the voltage list of the menu, for Li-HV is 4.40V, what is the max V inside that strange generic LiXX?

[@RCEscape]

4.25v

[@jaredkrinsky3345]

I was just about the purchase the EV Peak CQ3 or the Skyrc Q200 but I ran across your review... What are your thoughts on theses two chargers compared to the hobbymate D6? What is going to be the best value and more future proof?

[@RCEscape]

Jared Krinsky Future proof meaning how long they will last needs to be determined with time but those are quad chargers having almost twice the price and bigger form factor. If you intend to charge batts in the field and want a more compact charger then I would choose the hobbymate. Just don’t forget to use the coupon code :)

[@ktrimberger]

I have had the EV Peak CQ3 for about 5 weeks now. No problems at all. Works great. I can use it in the field with a car battery (haven't done that yet though...). I like the idea of charging 4 batteries at once. I got it at getfpv for $149 and free shipping. Note: it comes with xt60 banana connectors. I bought xt30 banana connectors from grayson hobby. Good deal. graysonhobby.com/xt30-charge-adapter.html

[@robertcorsa581]

Need the black one. Can’t find. Looks better

[@RCEscape]

make sure you get it from amazon. there are some people complaining about their received product from elsewhere in the comments. amazon products can be returned!!!

[@PULSEmultimedia]

Thank you for good review! I need charge 2-4s lipo batteries with internal BMS controller. This is batteries for professional video/photo cameras. Charger D6 can be charge 2-6s lixx battery without balance plug? Via only power cable. if I don't connect balance plug (use only power cable) d6 can start charge/discharge process for 2-6s lixx? Can you try for me?) Thank you! Sergey

[@RCEscape]

It will prompt you if balance plug is not connected and will give you a choice to continue.

[@PULSEmultimedia]

@@RCEscape Thank you very much! 👍

@@RCEscape Update: - reported the issue to HOTA, sent emails several times for any news, and they only kept replying "sorry to hear that" and did nothing - reported the issue to Banggood, and after sending the unit back was fully refunded - now I have an ISDT D2

[@wingchun149]

How many amps can it discharge when using AC input?

[@RCEscape]

@17:20

[@kisandrone]

Can this charge 18000mah? if yes at what amp we can charge it?

[@RCEscape]

You should charge batts at 1amp per 1000mah. 18000mah batt can be safely charged at 18amps or lower. This charger goes up to 15amps.

[@ng-iq4kx]

I can't advise on the UP6+ but the D6 Duo is still king of chargers on my charge table :)
