My experience of DSDT equipment has been just the opposite. I’ve had two fail after just past a years use and despite contacting DSDT a number of times they ignored any request to refund or even fix them. I’d avoid at all costs if your in the market for a Lipo charger.
Great review as ever!! Ty it does look a lovely charger, having the option to run DC is great. That said I also love my D2 charger for home, with 2no ToolkitRC M600’s for field charging.
Looks like this is a ToolkitRC M6D in a posh frock with tweaked firmware and an integrated PSU. Very similar interface, physical layout and feature set.
Great that has DC input. Makes this charger very versatile; and more so that can discharge to external DC input. Since has wide DC input (7-30V), it might even make a good field charger in combination with a solar panel. (12V and 24V foldable solar panel's are common for camping, etc)
I've bought one of these and it seems to work ok, however screen almost impossible to read in sunlight, it's a shame as the charger otherwise is good. Black font on a white background would be better for outdoors.
I've had this charger for a few a months and I like it. It's pretty solid. The DC power supply function is very useful. Like many chargers however it suffers from some firmware glitches, which IMO detract from its appeal, given the risks associated with charging. I think I would purchase the Hota D6 instead with hindsight, which seems to still receive firmware updates. Why? The discharging function is unreliable and often triggers strange continuous beeping for which the only solution is to power cycle the charger. It is also the slowest to discharge of any charger I have used . Lack of eg lead acid programme. A surprising omission on a multifunction charger like this. I wish the software was better tested / more reliable. Nevertheless a better than average charger.
Lee great review mate. I've purchased the same charger and mine when I use thr storage mode, only discharges the pack at 0.3amps which is incredibly slow and painful. Does your do the same thing? Thank you so much.

Pretty interesting charger, Lee! Fantastic first impressions, thanks! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks for the recommendation! I think it works great. As you pointed out the charg cables are less than impressive.
The windy spring weather makes me wonder how fast it can discharge :(
I bought one a couple of weeks ago and love it!

No, i am willing to bet this is a hota d6. interface looks much closer to hota

Just FYI, Hobbymate D6 Duo Pro and the HOTA D6 Pro both do sync charge with a firmware update.
I like the look of DSDT more… but the possibility to run DC controlled supply out of this is a very nice touch considering the size.

Looks like a great charger. The ISDT D2 Mk2 has horrible fan noise unlike the Mk1, so I'll have to keep my out for this new charger.
Sorry not been commenting lately my friend but alot going on.great work as always keep it up

I never use a charger for discharging. It is very inefficient and slow. I love the www.skyrc.com/bd250 for that.
Nice looks very stylish compared to what we’re used to.
What is the balance current rating ?
Thanks again for the look at a new product 👍🙏🏻
ordered one , my DSDT died afther 500 charges , 3 years. exploded !!!
That menu looks straight out of a ISDT charger.
That's a great look
Personally I don't think you can beat the iChargers for quality, price or functionality.
Why am I not seeing this anywhere else. Is this just not common in quadcopter circles?
Just not one of the usual stuff that many reviewers get sent..
Lee great review mate. I've purchased the same charger and mine when I use thr storage mode, only discharges the pack at 0.3amps which is incredibly slow and painful. Does your do the same thing? Thank you so much.
I use the BD200 for discharging here...
Hello, can the USB output charge my Futaba 16IZ simultaneously with charging 3-cell lithium batteries at 1.5A? thank you
I use the USB output to charge all sorts here, DJI remotes, GoPro cameras and lots more so probably... Best of luck
This charger is almost identical to my HOTA D6+ same menu and layout, id even say they're made by the same company...
You can try it out when it arrives, we are totally different lol~
Is there a way to check the IR (internal resistance) on the LiPo batteries on this charger? Thanks in advance.
Yes. Happy flying
Say you were parallel charging 6 4S batteries - would the sync charge feature you showed reduce charge time?
It would allow you to use a higher amp setting so probably... Happy flying
I can't perform a firmware update because my Windows 10 doesn't recognize USB. Does anyone have this problem too?
Temp port ?
Nope, see specs using link in description..
No they're both permanent
Neat charger to bad it wont charge a Tesla ... lol . Take care. .
Wish they would stop coming out with stuff I need to buy
