You should also take a look at the new Hota S6 ac400 dc 650 dual charger frrom Banggood. This is a further improvement on the various brands of D6 dual chargers like the Hobbymate & other brands which all appear to be good simular design chargers. The Hota S6 is impessive with ac 200w X 2 & dc 325w X 2, balance current is 1.6.
I bough the Imars Dual in black, and I'm using it for 1/10 onroad with 2S Redline 5100-6000mAh, and it's a great premium product. Issue now, is that I bought an 1/12 Pan Car running 1S Redline 8000mAh, and I cannot get the charger to work with 1S. I have XT60 to 4/5mm bullet 2S charger cables, and I cannot get the charger to accept the 1S. Have you tried 1S with 4mm bullets on this charger?
Hey Francis, any good quiet servos for my trx4 that won’t break the bank? I have a savox 1256TG in it now and man it’s probably 4x louder than the stock esc whine…. ALL THE TIME. it’s so annoying when I want to hear the tires grip and links creak 😍
so does this "balance" charge by default? I've got that venom duo and I always have to be sure to select a balance charge rather than a regular charge.
Good chargers will let you specify a minimum voltage on the DC input so it'll drain it til 3,3/cell or whatever you like, does this not have it? That's kind of annoying.
Thanks for the info. Would you clarify, when hooked up to balancer and you discharge or store, you get no per cell discharge rate displayed? Has this been the hit as your favorite charger ?
Does it have the XT90 adaptor? Also, does anyone make a TRX -XT90 plug connector? No, the Chinese do not, everything but. I have XT90 batteries and a Traxxas Charger, you see my dilemma? Thanks.
I use the $30 chargers on eBay (imax B6) and they rock! Can buy 6 of them at this price. The imax B6 is perfect. It’s like buying a hobbywing 1080… for your crawler… they work better for cheaper!!!
Looks like I'll be ordering one of these chargers. So much info on your channel. Thanks, FC!
Got mine on sale for $105 on an Amazon sale. LOVE IT ❤️ It's small and gets the job done. Easy to use. And it looks good 👍
cool but not on off switch, i dont understand why many chargers does not have a switch
good video thanks
Can you use this charger to check the batteries resistance levels? It looked like it could but I couldn't see anything being displayed.
I’d like to know what that “light” panel is as well. There are pics with that cover off, showing more that is unrecognizable. Ever figure it out?
Very thorough review/demonstration/instruction. Thanks for all you do for the hobby!
This video is extremely helpful to me. Thank you for posting this
Thanks Francis. Looks like i'll be picking up this charger for my rc cars. Love the videos as always.
follow your advice on a lot of stuff but would really like to see update on the double e defender

Hota in Spanish means gay 😂
@@TheAmericanUhate Were not talking in Spanish ! Nothing wrong with a gay charger anyway lol.
@@TheAmericanUhate It’s good to be happy (the real meaning of the word before it was hijacked).
I have this charger and love it. But I am confused what the usb cable it comes with is for? It’s Usb A male on both ends.

Have you tried 1S with 4mm bullets on this charger?
How come it never showed the resistance when you when to that screen?
Hi SlooDon， need to wait a few seconds for the internal resistance to show up!
For a lipo 2s 6200 do I need to plug the balance? And what is the best setting? I have another battery 7200 any advice how to charge correct 💯?

Could you recommend me the most quiet servo with over 20kg power?
Kinda looks to me like its an ISDT product. Same sounds, UI, specs.....nice!
Nice review , dose it have storage mode and if so is it fast?
Yes. It’s just average. Discharges at 3 amps max so not very fast when bringing voltage down to store
Does it have to be a 6s for DC charging? Can I use a 2s?
For DC charging, you can use any battery, down to 2s.
so does this "balance" charge by default? I've got that venom duo and I always have to be sure to select a balance charge rather than a regular charge.
Yeah it always balance charges
Good chargers will let you specify a minimum voltage on the DC input so it'll drain it til 3,3/cell or whatever you like, does this not have it? That's kind of annoying.
This has it. But you have to set it every for each battery you use. And you don’t know where the voltage is at any point
Thanks for the info. Would you clarify, when hooked up to balancer and you discharge or store, you get no per cell discharge rate displayed? Has this been the hit as your favorite charger ?
Well well well and now what am I supposed to do with my beloved Hobbymate??? It works super well......... hahaha
Thank you for the video. Which one do you like the best for charging two batteries from the AC source?
Does it have the XT90 adaptor? Also, does anyone make a TRX -XT90 plug connector? No, the Chinese do not, everything but. I have XT90 batteries and a Traxxas Charger, you see my dilemma? Thanks.
You have to make them. I use XT90 on my 6s outcast and had to make adapters to use this charger and the XT60 plugs
@@gjohns316 :) got some , thanks.
Sky rc , gens ace, hota. Are all highest quality and are chinese companies. Milwaukee and all apple products are made in china too.
Each cell be like when checking internal resistance -.-
