I’m not asking vendors to pay for these videos, so opinions are mine alone.

Seen a few reviews on this & all have struggled with the touchscreen! So the main feature is flawed. The individual cell info should be on screen, i get why they made the screen like that, very fancy looking but i’d rather have the info i need like on my icharger duo.

I have a pair of M6's on my desk, fed by their fabulous 100W power supply. A clean operation, but it could be cleaner with this. Dangit Lee!

they kept releasing new chargers and forget to update firmware on previous ones (q6AC)

Great review Lee, Thanks! I do like the 2A balance current. Would be cool to do a time test with a similarly charged battery next to the Gens Ace Imars Dual which has 1.2 A balance current.

Nice looking charger. Hope they will come out with an AC/DC version of this as well.

Touchscreen - I've been waiting for this for ages :D Nice! They listen to customers! I'm using HTRC T400 Pro though - it has a resistive screen.

Not bad. If I already did not have 12 chargers I might consider it. Nice review!

I have an M6D which is used as part of a charge station at home, powered by a 60A Dell server PSU (£12!) and I also use it for field charging. I've also heard some negatives about Toolkit RC but the M6D, along with an M7 that I mainly use indoors as part of a bench power supply, have been faultless. I prefer their operating methods to my 4 button ichargers. I like the looks of this M8D and would buy one if I needed the higher charging current. This said, I don't like the look of that touch screen. It appears not to be implemented to a high enough standard in many respects and I prefer the simpler displays on their lesser devices.

Awesome review, Lee! Thanks! 😃 Yeah, they need to work on it a bit... But that's definitely not bad! Not bad at all! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks for the video. Hopefully a M8DAC will be next, with a 200w or higher mains power supply.

Is there a clever mode for charging a 13s lithium Battery ? Would be great for maintaining ebike and scooter batteries. Can be used anyway with some wiring thinking .....

They should open source at least the UI.

Nice piece of kit as a field charger . At first glance the touch screen is overcrowded and all the same problem with this “new tech” : 1 If u have giant digits you will struggle with the charger . 2. I doubt club members that normally are over 65 /70 will use something like this over the usual plug in “push few buttons and charge” units. It would be great if they concentrate on security features rather than looks . There are still a lot of (too many) lupo fires Having said that … wow it talks to you ! 😂 I love it

I agree, a lovely screen like this should be used to tall you the stuff you need to see at a glance - easily. Having the main screen show speedo-style instruments showing charging current looks cool for a thumbnail, but is less useful in practice. Being able to easily see percentage of charge done, charge current and estimated time remaining is what most of us want to see at a glance!

Tell me, does the internal resistance of the batteries show correctly or is this function not accurate? :) I need to test the wear level of batteries at my work. I can, of course, do this with a special device, but it’s more convenient right away while charging. Thank you.
@Painless360 Ай бұрын
I wouldn't trust the reading to be super accurate as the same battery can read differently on different chargers.. Happy flying

a bit too much and I will stay with my relilable Graupner Ultramat from 10 years ago which is very reliable with the fancy colourfull displays. Learned a lot from that and for the field I got a ISDT 608PD can not discharge. Therefore got the SkyRC B6Neo afterwards and now I have enough options to charge. Anyhow good review but too much for me.

Seems like a very nice DC Charger. Can it do continuous charging ? (the mode when once the battery is full you can swap with an empty one and it starts charging right away) It is pretty useful from drone racing
@Painless360 2 ай бұрын
I couldn't see that in the stuff I had here. Maybe the full, final manual for it will give us the answer...
@beenflying1 2 ай бұрын
Yes it does have a continuous charge option called "Continuous Work". See the online manual.

An AC charger simply converts it inside. With this you can add the bulk of the AC > DC part if you want to charge at home and leave that bulk at home if you are mobile. A 1500w power supply at home and a small 100w USB c charger and cord for traveling

A 1200W server power supply is $20 on eBay all day. It's 12V 100A with 220-240V and 900W with 100-120V so more like 85A if you're in N America and using a standard 120V outlet. You can series them with $10 in parts (at most...you could do it with a few bucks if you wanted) and get ~25.2V and 85A. They also make lower power ones. 460W's are my favorite since they go for $8 if you buy lots of 3+ usually. And 2 in series is 920W which leaves some room left on that circuit for other things that are consuming power. 25.2V 38A is enough for most chargers....a handful of the big big chargers like the iCharger 458 Duo would benefit from either 3 server power supplies in series (or 4) or a "48V" telecom recitifier like an Eltek Flatpack or Huawei R4875G2
