I just got one of these and like it a lot. One thing about parallel charging though, you DON'T need to have batteries that are the same mAh. Voltage is the only thing that matters.
Do you still use it? Does it allow to calibrate the voltage (by depressing "Batt. type + Start" or "Dec. + Start" like in other "four button" chargers before switching on)? I can't find the answer to this anywhere...
Yeah I can control all the parameters of the charge like amps, capacity, and voltage. Charging without balancing allows for more control over voltage. I still use it every week and it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting charging my eight 8s 5000’s batteries
Thank you for the quick answer, David. By "calibrate the voltage" I meant the special service menu that you can enter by depressing the "Batt. type + Start" or "Dec. + Start" buttons at the same time during switching it on. In most of "four-button chargers" this allows you to correct the values that are measured by the charger for each cell while measuring the cells by some precise multimeter - by entering the shift-values for each cell voltage measured by the charger. This allows you to make the charger be measuring the cell voltages as precise as possible, to eliminate overcharge/overdischarge... So this feature is kinda important, 'cause sometimes the chargers are not calibrated very well out of the factory. So my question was exactly about this capability of this charger: this can be done in most of the "four-button chargers"...
@@daviddouglass208 thank you very much for the reply I have the dynamite version but it's dropped a channel so I want to replace it but didnt want to run in2 issues if these have issues
This is a great charger i have two of them and i run both off of my generator at the field i fly all freakin day way more than those fools flying nitro and gas planes

How long did this last you
Still have it, still working. Used less this past year as I moved across the country

@@dualtrondreamteam6811 not that I have had

Can I charge 4 6cell batteries at the same time 5,200mah
Octane 209 I charge four 8s batteries at the same time, so I’d say yes :)
can i use xt30 charging cable?
Yeah if you have the right connectors to to plug them in 👍🏼
@@daviddouglass208 great. Thanks!
