Re: Which charger to choose from hobbyking?

You want to make sure that the charger is capable of taking at least 6 amps of current if you want to charge all 6 batteries in parallel. and a power supply which is capable of providing 6 amps.

Re: Which charger to choose from hobbyking?

Ya u need a parallel charging board with either T plugs or XT 60

Get an SMPS and modify it , fairly simple mods..Will give more than 6 amps to charger.

For charger, My advice is to invest in a good one.. Reason: May be in near future u buy a 500 heli or a 550 electric heli..icharger 3010b, FMA Powerlab 8 v2 or a hyperion are the best..

If on a budget get an icharger 208b...

I use these

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=14856

Works great! Parallel charging is a great option - saves a lot of time

Don't forget to buy charge/balance leads

Re: Which charger to choose from hobbyking?

If you want to charge batteries in parallel, take a high wattage charger...

Icharger 306b or i charger 3010b....with a modified SMPS (350 rs or max 450 ) as a power supply....

Also, take a look on Turnigy Quattro...

icharger 106b and turnigy accucell wont be able to handle 6s cells but ok for 3s

as long as the power/amp requirement is not violated - it should be fine.
I charge 2 x 6s packs @ 1.8A on accucel-8

OP, if you have higher budget definitely go for more powerful ones

Re: Which charger to choose from hobbyking?

Honestly, Do a google search and you will get review on each n every charger on HK.

Whle doing an SMPS modification, do not touch the capacitors...

The green and black wire are to be joined so as to switch on the SMPS. And, the yellow wires will be ur positive terminal.

If there is a change in colour coding of the wires please check the pin diagram before.

Re: Which charger to choose from hobbyking?

If you are not really strict about ordering from HK, then you can check the IMAX B6 Pro at RC Timer. At 30$ including shipping, it's a nice deal. Shipping is fast too. My last order reached me in 11 days (I had opted for shipping with tracking at 2$ extra). Bow
