What does it mean by condition in the charge settings. I seen it so many times yet I couldn't find any infomation about this, could you please help explain it to me. I'm actually also using this for 1/28 scale rc
It just means the criteria when the charger will stop charging. You can get it to stop at 4.18, 4.19, 4.2, 4.21, or 4.22v per cell. I set mine to 4.18v.
This will be my next charger. At least for my light travel configuration. If it works as good as it looks, then possibly permanantly replace my other chargers with a few of these.
@@sammybaka I havent, but I have seen people use a big lipo to power truers... but thats what I want this charger to be able to do. Its all about carrying less with me to the track.
@@EMU1 Yeah me too. An appropriately small charger for small cars. Since you are powering a tire truer too, how many watts of input do you need to provide?
@@sammybaka I cut my tires at 6v. Typically under 5A. Higher amperage than that, tends to be too much for most tires and causes them to tear. The ISDT 608AC that I was using, had a maximum of 5A, and was capable but a little finicky at startup. So, in theory, 30W would be needed for truing. The power source is a 65w, with 4 ports. One C port is always 45w, while one A and C share 15w but are fast charge capable. With one other port 5v only. Will see if it works as intended, but could reduce 2-3 things that need to be packed to go to the track... (or at least shrink it all to half the size).
The charger only has one output port, so it can do balanced charging for one lipo pack natively. You can use a 3-way parallel charging adapter (like www.kenonhobby.com/PN-Racing-XT60-Plug-3xJST-PH-Parallel-Charging-Cable_p_46091.html) but normally I don't recommend it because the charger won't be able to identify voltage level of individual cells, and can overcharge a cell as a result. That can be quite dangerous.
And to answer the second question, if you are parallel charging 3 380mah packs, and assuming you want to do 0.3A for each, you will need to charge at 2S at 0.9A. Again, I think it's better to get a larger charger with multiple output ports natively.
@@popitn2nd My charger is 20 watts. The important bit is the max negotiable voltage the power supply can support. For this lipo charger, the power supply must be able to provide at least 10 volts of input. None of my existing small wall chargers other than the macbook power supplies could do that, so I bought a small one that can do 12v. When charging a 2s lipo at say 0.4a, only 4 watts of power is used.
I'm not sure why either. I checked the specs and it should be fine. The key numbers are "Output: 5.0V==3.0A /9.0V==3.0A / 15.0V==3.0A / 20.0V==3.25A (65W Max)"
@@sammybaka Now i understand. Thank you for searching the specs. Now i get it why 2s lipo battery will not work because it only put out 8.4 volts. It needs at least 10 volts. Thank you!
DO NOT BUY. B6 Neo has an extremely high failure rate. mine is dead after just 3 months, i left it to cycle a single cell AA nimh and its now stuck saying connection break
Thanks for sharing! After your comment, I went to look for more reviews and feedback and it seems many people are running into problems. I'm going to keep an eye out on mine and see how it does.
@@AKElectroDIY Amazingly, I left the B6 plugged in for a week or two and it began working again... Still, I would look elsewhere, the RS16 from skyrc that I have has lasted many years, so SkyRC isnt bad in general, but the neo is not great
Excellent recommendation and presentation, thanks for the ideas. 👍🏼
Thank you!

@@sammybakahow do i know what to set it to?
@@hwelp A standard lipo battery does a max of 4.2v per cell, so 4.2v is the default setting.
@@sammybaka so I can leave it as is?
@@hwelp Keep at 4.2

Hope it gets the job done for you too. Btw have you ever needed to bring a big lipo pack as DC power source?

Hi! I was just wondering…will i be able use 2 cell lipo 7.4v battery as my power supply to use this charger?
I'm pretty sure it needs at least a 3s lipo as input power.
I saw you scroll through the settings under DC power. I see that you can change the Voltage settings . 3:55
Minimum for input still needs to be 10v or above.
Can this charge 3 lipo batteries at the same time? I have 3 pn racing batteries and what amp should i set it to charge 3 lipo?

@@sammybaka Btw, how many watt for the wall charger are you using? I’m not sure if i can use my regular iPhone usbc charger wall which has 20watt.
