There is only few YT'ers who I love taking advice from generally, and you are one of them my friend! How would you compare ToolkitRC chargers with iSDT? I do have D1 and I couldn't be happier with it. Not s single problem with it ever. I am just thinking to buy another one, little more portable, and this seems like a great option. Plus, it has AC just like D1, so that's a big plus in my books. I am just concerned about all those complaints when it comes to ToolkitRC products, even this M7AC went through couple of revisions until they fixed it finally.
I've used pretty much all manufacturers chargers over the years. iSDT are great and used them quite a bit, but I bought the original ToolkitRC M8 to try it out and was hooked. The M6D and M6DAC are my go to chargers these days.
@@WhirlyBloke - amazing! I might give them a try and see how I like them. I mean head won't hurt from one more charger in the house, right? Right? Maybe hurt a wallet a little bit, but that's it :)
The ToolkitRC M7AC charger is a multi-functional charger designed to charge and discharge various types of batteries used in remote control hobbies such as drones, RC cars, and airplanes. While it is possible to power some devices using the M7AC charger's DC output ports, it is not designed to be a power supply and is not a suitable replacement for a dedicated power supply like the P200. The P200 power supply is designed specifically to provide stable, reliable power to high-performance RC battery chargers and other electronic devices. It offers features such as adjustable voltage, current limiting, and overcurrent protection that are not available in the M7AC charger. So, if you need a power supply for your RC battery charger or other electronics, it is recommended to use a dedicated power supply like the P200 instead of relying on the M7AC charger as a substitute
Hi all. I’ve got toolkitrc m7ac. I charge 1s lipo using vifly whoop series board. It works fine with 500mAh batteries. However when charging small lipos like 220mah for mini drones, when it comes near end, all numbers on charger screen keeps blinking red, and it goes like that for hour… but know it’s balancing when blinking yellow and red, but with 500mAh it blinks red for a while near the end of charging. With small lipos it does it for ages… also it doesn’t matter if I choose storage charge or normal charge, near the end which is around 3.7v when doing storage charge and around 4.1v when normal charging, it starts blinking red on all cells and never finish… anyone knows why?
The blinking red light near the end of charging likely means the charger is struggling to balance the smaller 220mAh batteries. This happens because smaller batteries can have higher internal resistance, which makes precise balancing harder, especially as they near full charge. Try lowering the charge current to around 0.2A, or connect a single battery directly to the charger without the ViFly board.
@ thanks for reply. I can’t connect it directly as they are 1s ph2.0 connectors and only tx30 and tx60 sockets on the charger. However when connecting them single one by one through Vifly board, it charges no problem. As you said, it struggles to balance them. I’ve found couple of these small lipos, that can be charged in pair without issues, and some others struggle, probably proving that some of them small lipos are poor quality, rather than charger problem itself.
Great review as always!

Perfect Presentation ,
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
Is the ac lead country specific to where you live?
It is country specific, but it's a simple removable 2 pin mains lead that you can buy anywhere.
Can this unit act or take the place of P200 power supply?

Would you know the max charge amps on AC please?
ToolkitRC don't state the max charge current on AC. On DC it's 15A, I suspect the max current on AC will be under 5A.
@@WhirlyBloke I thought this would be the case, thanks for the reply 👍
I have one and the AC input is broken. I can not get a power up from the AC input. Any solution?
It's probably best to talk to your supplier or contact ToolkitRC support.
Thanks!
So what is the fix? For the AC glitch problem
No idea, but it's fixed in the hardware.
12:38 what is the fix?
No idea, it was a hardware production issue.
