Charger HK which

[Kevin Rochon]

I'm still waiting for my TP820 Duo(that one will be for my expensive Lipos) but I realize I'm going to have a lot of batteries to charge specially for the indoors etc. So I would like to get a "cheap" HK charger for multiple charges at the same time what do you guy recommend and have experience with?:confused:

I have tried a couple different low cost chargers from HK and did not find a good one.
I finaly bought a good one at Ted's ($100)

Lequel François?

[fbrunet1957]

I don't see them anymore on HK site.
One could charge up to 5 lipos, the other one 2.
I am not supprised they have been remove.

[Kevin Rochon]

no but which one from Ted?

Le Hitec 4x en est un tres fiable, pas de perte de temp avec ses 4 entrée:cool:

I am thinking of buying another one from HK because the one I have from them is excellent but it has a limitation of 5 Amps. so if you want to charge at a few "C's" it doesn't do it.
To take into consideration.....

I also have the Hitec 4X, and waht is neat about it, is that the programming for me was hard to understand, so went to Ted's where I bought it, and Peter took the time to show me how to work it. For me that is worth the extra bucks. Also if have aproblem, brig it back and he takes care ofit. Nice to save money, but you want the stuff to work.

Onix245 avec 2 sorties indépendantes (max 3S, 5A)

What I'm looking for is an inexpensive multiport charger for my indoor batt. and other small ones.

I s this any good it is probably the same as the Hitec one:

Triton (Electryfly) 1 sortie (max 6S, 5A)

I got the electryfly triton EQ from ted, but stop working after 2 years. came with the error that it was charching to long, turn it off and on, it shown the electry fly screen but does not go into the menu (NO idea how to fix it. Any ideas?) So got another used for 35$ on RCcanada to bring to the field and bought from TED the Hitec X4 AC Plus to use at home. Did not have time to try it, but the reason I got it are: Possibility to hook it up to the pc and see the charge graph (optional), possibility to use a temperature probe during charging (optional), and 4 ports with possibility to charge 4 different battery at the same time, it is like having 4 different charger.

It looks good and the reviews are good.
But you will need a 12vdc power pack to run it.

Pour moi les charger AC/DC sont les plus polyvalent. la seul hic...Ils sont plus dispendieux
