Best charger I ever purchased is the HTRC C150. Interface is basic imax B6 style but this hasn't died like EVERY SINGLE Sky RC charger I've owned. I have a pair of these and they just keep going. I didn't buy a dual charger, like I wouldn't buy a phone with a built in answering machine in case one or the other dies. Another favorite for simple ease of use is the HOT RC A400 for 3&4 cell batteries. Just plug in and wait until it flashes that it's done.

I love the protek chargers because when it has issues you can get it replaced or get some good help from their customer service on a new one. All of these other chargers(I have not tried the Spektrum) have fans that turn noisy eventually...this is my personal experience.I need to try the Spektrum chargers now just due to the size, that's stupid small!! I bought 2 used Ichargers for 200 and couldn't be more happier with them! One for home and one for travel...coupled with the battery knowledge I gained from RC Legend Dr.Titus I am now making my batteries work out before we go hit the track! You now have me worried about rain Mark...my chargers get subjected to a lot of dirt and dust but I have no clue what I'm gonna do if it rains. Keep the videos coming!!!

One of the legs on my S2100 is not attached quite right so the unit doesn’t sit perfectly flat. A little annoying but not as bad as having to look at a bad screen! Sounds like they definitely have some QC Issues then. Also occasionally during the storage charge cycle, it will not sound the finish tone and will just sit there at 3.8V. If I stop the cycle and start the storage charge again, it will then tell me the cycle is finished. The charger and batteries are only a few months old. The Ultra Power combined scroll/confirm button is really really annoying. If there was a separate confirm button it would be perfect.

How To Calculate Your Charging Needs: To determine if this charger is suitable for your application, you must perform this calculation to determine the maximum amp rate the charger can supply. Divide the Watts of the charger by the Voltage of the battery pack. This will tell you the maximum amp rate the charger can deliver (Watts / Voltage = Amps). For example, if using the Touch 625 AC and a 6S LiPo battery, you would divide 200 Watts by 22.2 Volts to realize a 9 Amp charge rate. This means that the charger can supply a maximum of 9 amps to a 22.2 Volt 6S battery. This amp rate will gradually reduce as the battery voltage increases during the charge cycle THANK ME LATER

I purchased a Traxxas live dual charger in November 2023. Used it 3 or 4 times and it developed a mind of its own Regarding when it feels like powering up. I sent it back to Traxxas, they sent a replacement and the second dual live charger does the same thing.... Only powers up and works intermittently. I presume there's a bad batch. Now I've got to send the second one back. I have a Fleet of traxas batteries now and I don't even want to use their chargers. I don't know what to do.

You can buy the little adapters that make the traxxas battery into a regular LiPo so you can charge it on a regular LiPo charger. Also all the Traxxas Live chargers have the regular balance lead plugs on the front of the charger so you can charge regular LiPos, they’re capped with a blue plastic cap.

Yooo' Mark, what causes a charger to heat up while charging a lipo?!?

Nathan Duenas when you start to hit the amps and/or watts threshold. I wouldnt worry about heat to much. It should shut down before it gets too hot.

I only charge my battery equal to the amp hours. So if my battery is a 5000mah I charge at 5 amp

Yeah I always charge at 1C. I can see on occasion you want to charge at 2C or 3C if competition allows.

Does anyone know a lipo charger than can properly balance charge a lipo ? One of my 4s lipo batteries it's not balanced 100% and the buggy coging when I press throttle and I can't buy a new lipo right now and I try to save this battery and i do a lot of storage chargings one after the other with the hope to see all the cells as much balanced is possible. The battery was always in storage mode but one of the cells is lower than the others and now the battery is useless. Please if someone knows a proper lipo charger tell me and I will try to buy it. All the batteries i have are not balanced 100% and I can't understand why we buy balance lipo chargers. Batteries are expensive and I try to save them for the longer-term is possible.

$150 for a charger. Ouch, then $189 for the traxxas. Dahmit. Car chargers go for less . Crazy
