you would be better off charging single packs at 10-15 amps than charging 4 in parallel, it would be faster and they would charge more accurately.

I agree I don't really like charging in parallel much. If you do charge that way watch each battery as it charges be safeOriginally posted by madmikepags View PostComment

I parallel charge often at 20+ amps, never any issues with balancing or "inaccurate" charging. As long as you understand how parallel charging works there is no reason not to use this method in my opinion.

hey joel, i bought an icharger last night with balance board from progressive rc , only by mistake i grabbed the wrong board. Do you know if i can use the reorder feature to change this?

Ha, I did the same thing. I emailed Jamie Marks with my order number and he took care of it. Just reply to the order confirmation you received. Maybe send him a direct message also so it doesn't get missed.Originally posted by Luck as a Constant View Post

I use a Hitec x4. The new one. It has a built in power supply. Charges 4 batts at one time. I usually get four packs charged in an hour. It will charge up to 6s packs32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

the one i purchased is a 10 amp unit at like 250 watts. 4 packs would probably take a little over an hour, but 2 packs should go rather quickly. if i really like it. ill grab another unit, but really i don't have a ton of batteries to do. i don't like charging packs and waiting for a nice day, so i really just wanted something that i can charge two packs up real quick when the weather is nice and i have some free time.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

That's why I like this one I have. I got tired of taking all day to charge my packs then it rains the next day. Couple hours and I've got 8 packs charged.Originally posted by Luck as a Constant View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

Yeah 4 packs at once is convenient.

I've got the same one as kfxguy and for the $ it's hard to beat, no need for power supply and it will run off 12v if you're out somewhere with no power you can run it off your car. I like it because I have boats that run 4s, 6s, 10s, I can charge any combo of batteries I need to. My 10s packs are two 5s packs so I can charge two 10s packs at one time, which comes in handy when I'm running my 1/8 scale Hydro it uses two 10s packs.Comment

Recommend me a good charger
I did see the specs on it.
At 80 watts per channel, what's the most you can charge a 5s 5000 mah pack?
I do have two chargers that have ac built in.
Not very powerful tho.
