Hey guys! This is a new charger that I went ahead and bought for myself, and I HAD to make a video on it. I should have bought this thing way back when I first started because it is feature packed at only $120!

Ext. Discharge is not "Extended Discharge." It is "External Discharge" where you connect a battery to the charger's input and discharge to a load such as large resistors connected to the outputs. I think details like this are important to get right when talking about something that can be dangerous such as charging/discharging LiPo batteries.
One of the most detailed and crispiest charger reviews I've seen. Bought it right away after watching this 🔥🔥
Haha thanks man! I appreciate the support! You’ll love the charger bro honestly the best addition to my inventory
@@supafpv1759 Best part about this charger is that massive 1.5 A Balance current per channel which should speed up the charging process and the wireless charging is another sweet addition too
@@yamenakhtarmohammed heck yea man, I charge my 1500mah+ at 1.5 to get it done quick!
As I understand, it's better to plug in the XT60 first, then the balance connector. That way if there's any initial rush of current, it's traveling through the larger wires rather than through the smaller ones.
Welcome to the dual charger club! Definitely a must have once you get a bunch of batteries. Charging takes forever and a single charger can get the job done but the dual charger is awesome💯 great review as always and your intro was 🔥🔥🔥 af!
Thanks fam! Always a pleasure!
but after u have the dual charger u think about getting another so u can have 4 lipos in a hour.
or a quatro charger hehe
i go out with 10 lipos and i charge them in 2 cycles with 1 dual and 1 quatro
Thanks for cutting to the chase. Too many people go into too fluff. Beeping didn’t bother me either. And you were right it can he shut off.
Nice review, I have been using this for a while now. Great charger, with a couple of parallel boards. I love the small size
Right! It’s small and compact but powerful!
There is several of these chargers just renamed they're all dope. I use this in the field when I'm flying all day portable with solar panels and a big lithium iron phosphate Bioenno battery. Happy flying.
Hi, can you explain a bit more about your portable solar charge/powering set up? thanks
Dangggg son that’s a lot of charging haha. Yea there are many chargers that look exactly like it and it’s the exact same thing
@@k1ortia I use a 120 Watt foldable solar panel and 30ah battery from Bioenno with a Buddipole power mini solar charge controller/watt meter from Buddipole. Total self sustainability indefinitely. Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest.
@@relentlessfpv1822 Thank you. Iv always been curious about portable solar and having some way of charging rc batteries off grid. Much appreciated 👍🏽
Sorry, i forgot to ask. Does it have to be a 30ah battery? What is the smallest you could get away with? For charging between 4s 1600mah and 5200mah max? Thank you
@SupaFpv awesome video man! I have been flying 4s batteries on 6s motors, planned on going to 6s. Now after watching this and your video on the speedy pizza lipos, I just ordered hota d6 pro and 4 speedy pizza 6s lipos. Thanks for the great content. Can't wait to rip on 6s and get the full power from my motors!
Thank you for an awesome review and tutorial! I’ve been hesitant to buy a charger since it’s all so mixed opinions but I’ve been eyeing this for quite some time!
Good Review 👍. I just received my Hota D6 Pro yesterday and all I can say is "why did I wait so long to buy it?" The first thing I did was turn off the beeper in the system menu 😁. I'm stoked to be able to use two charging boards at a time now especially with whoop season upon us.
I was just about to comment about being able to turn the beeper off if you hold the scroll wheel down when on the spit screen overview
@@Matty__Matt i leave mine on the lowest setting and it works great for my needs.
Thanks for helping bro! im gonna update this one
Awesome man! Thanks!
My one came last night I've had a play with it and it is awesome I think I've picked the right charger
god... the production quality on that intro. Absolute stud.
Gud quality 👌
I'm still using my ISDT Q6 Nano... 8A are enough to get all my LiPos chrged up fast enough. But I should probably upgrade soon. Dope review, thanks!
I really wanted an extra charging port so I can charge two at a time so that’s primarily why I upgraded haha. There are lots of good options but I really loved this one!
@Seii-FPV you talkin about the one I reviewed? The screen looks pretty good to me, if there was any screen latency issues shown on the video, which I don’t recall there being any, it looks perfect irl.
@@supafpv1759 - yes, every single video on TH-cam shows it. Refresh rate when changing pages on that thing is crazy low. You can check this video, same thing too: th-cam.com/video/NE-gnsASLDM/w-d-xo.html . If this link does not take you directly to it, 4 minute and 19 sec mark into that video is when you can see it the most, but basically every single time page is switched, same thing happens. I have not seen that with any other charger out there, even much cheaper ones.
@@supafpv1759 - Here, I took that portion of the video and made an animated GIF, slowed down so you can see how refresh of the screen is behaving on D6 Pro. Almost every single screen works in similar ways, but they use higher refresh rate, which for human eye is of course always more pleasant. But D6 Pro has such a slow refresh rate, it's totally noticeable. Here is the slowed down animated GIF. Pay special attention to the part when blue page starts loading: i.imgur.com/ttJqHUT.mp4
Awesome review!!
Thanks!
I had a d6 pro... I blew it up when I didn't properly stop the charge and leads hit.
I loved it.
That said, I bought the P6 as a replacement for a DC only option, and really love that little guy.
and then bought the D6 + for AC/DC, it has a bigger AC adaptor 325w or 200w per channel. (which I needed for the RC race track) it can do 10a into 2 2s car batteries.
the D6 pro, which you have there. tops out at 15a into 2s.
which is totally fine for 90% of people.
the biggest complaint I have about the Bigger D6 + is the lack of scroll wheel, which pisses me off EVERY time I use it.
So much so... that it stays in my track pack and I use the p6,
and will probably buy another of these D6 Pro's for my desk.
the phone charging is a real nice bonus.
Yea you’re right about all man. I was lookin at the d6+ but kinda didn’t like how big it was. It does have the added functionality but this one just seemed small portable and perfect!
You are clearly knowledgeable but this vid could have been less than 5 min. It took 11:04 to get to the menu to see how to actually charge. :(
Thank so much for the video, it’s very helpful, especially for a newbie like me into the doc world. I bought this product recently to change GEPRC Storm 6S 1300mAh 120C Lipo Battery, I bought few of these batteries and now looking to educate myself how to use it accordingly. Do you have what settings I should use to change GEPRC Storm 6S 1300mAh 120C Lipo Batteries. Thank you in advance for your advice
Mine is got is stuck in Chinese I need to fix it back to English do you know how
Great little charger. Portable as can be. Wireless phone charger doesn't really work; At least on my hobbymate edition.
Yessir gotta love it! The wireless charger actually works really well surprisingly. Worked every time in my testing. I still use it to charge up my stuff
Can this one charge 2 packs of 6S LiPo with 6A on AC??
Great looking charger. Been using a Venom duo pro forever now, and have a real hard time reading the little screen it has. I notice the screen on this charger is very easy to read, might have to check it out.
Yessir the text is pretty big and the screens pretty damn bright too. The venom is tried and true for sure tho!
@@supafpv1759 👍
Awesome video my friend : D
Thanks man!
Sync charge allows you to combine both outputs to parallel charge (and balance if applicable) a very large battery. This wouldn't be useful for most R/C batteries, but automotive lead acid, or large LifePO4 would benefit. Also, FWIW, my just purchased unit has a red knob.
It does help if u want to balace big battery. I use 12s for my electric scooter and i can use it there.
New to RC hobby and need a great charger that will be able to charge my 3s, 4s, and 6s lipo batteries....i am torn between this and
GensAce Imars Dual Channel AC200W/DC300W Balance Charger Black? help me choose people
Can this change LiFeP04?
I have one but cannot find any reference to the different color screens. I know blue if finished. What is yellow ? What is purple ? What is green ?
Hi.
Great video, thanks.
Can I use this charger for my Spektrum smart lipos?
TYA
Thanks for the video! Do you think the HOTA D6 Pro could charge 9.3A for parallel charging 6 1550mah lipo HV at the same time?
Where can I find the black colored charger? The ones I see are gray
Anyone know what would cause the AC side not to work but the DC in works? Any fix for this?
Hey, can you juice up batteries using a car charger?
I can’t figure out how to turn volume back up after I somehow tuned it down 😂
Lost of wasted time in this video. Its "aaahh" or "eeehhhmm" and useless infos. Skript your videos! This would help a lot and put a lot more information in less time. People talk and talk but information output is minor...
Agreed plus that part where he said it can only charge one at a time had me like “wth?” Ik he meant you can only change settings and start one port at a time though
im planning to purchase this. whats the recommended settings to charge >> GEPRC 1100mAh 60C/110C 4.35V LiHV Battery 6S XT60 for Cinelog35
if a 1300MAH battery is charged in 1 hour on my isd2 charger.
how long wil that take on this hota charger?
whats the diffrence betweeen the hota D6 and the D6 pro?
How can i see the internal resistance?
During charging in 'Charge' mode. See instruction 👍
For the AC
Is that 200w coming out of each port or 200w combined ?
So 100w out of each port?
does it support "nickhle mehtal hidride"?
Also how many "MAHH" is it?
Thanks, love the cat.
Lmao yes it does support NiCKle meTaL HyDrIde haha
mine doesnt let me put the balancing wire in without saying error everytime i try to charge on all of my batteries.... i literally been charging without the balance wire for 3 months now..
R u sure u r putting the balance plug in the correct hole ?
No noisy sound of power supply like isdt.?
How about the noise?
Can I charge 3s and 4s and wil it work whit a T plug?
May i know is charger port is mixed port for 2s to 6s balance plugs can be attached directly or with extra breakout board?
Your going to want the Breakout board anyways or order JST 6s taps. The reason being you don't want to use the balance connector on the charger as he does in the video because you will eventually wear it out. Best to wear out a cheap replaceable connector.
Hello, is better than t6x80? Is really this Hota the better for 60 or 70€?
Thanks and like!
I’m not too familiar with that model but I can tell you with certainty this thing is worth more than the listed price! It’s great!
50times that it cost 120 bucks and how awesome charger it IS,OMG
Yea man it’s an awesome charger!
@@supafpv1759 😀 i believe that. Going to buy it too. Worth it for 120 bucks lmao
Does it have FULL Amp charge power when charging whit 240Volt? most chargers want DC 24V for full charging power
Allready found: Charge Power: DC 325W * 2(650W), AC 200W (it supports power distribution) Son only 200Watt on AC. So you must youse a PSU whit 24v +
Nothing about the noise level?
Any idea why my Ohm screen doesnt show ? I tried it on charging and without charge and have all the time shown the heat ,tempature etc only.
Same problem here
@@johannesihbe1810 aparently it have to be only on charge mode. Not balance. And when you charge battery you scroll to right. Then it shows after a while
Is this safer than spektrum chargers? Safety is the most important for me since i store it inside.
Yea I think its quite safe. I always charge my batteries inside my house.
But what's the difference between this and isdt d2?
They’re pretty much the same thing, but cheaper. And I believe the d6 pro is slightly better. There is an excellent video on TH-cam comparing the two.
the wireless phone charging function isn't any good, loses connection after two minutes with no reason for it to lose connection, found this with other wireless chargers in the past too, most are shite
Never plug your lead in first, always plug the power in first.
1st🤠🇬🇧👍
As always! Haha
@@supafpv1759 good video bro 👍 great info. 👍 🇬🇧 😀
No battery storage memory capability?? what a hassle.. .
Look at 13:16 . They have😂😂
Why don't you parallel charge to charge way quicker?
I just don’t prefer to. It’s slightly unsafe if you don’t know what you’re doing and I really don’t have like a million batteries so I don’t mind.
4:41 why the fuck wouldnt you recommend discharging at 3 amps? you realize when your using your batteries they are discharging way faster than that right?
so much false info and lack of knowledge in this video
0:24 would have thought you were gonna say coke with how fast your talking. holy fuck i hope you slow down otherwise im not gonna make it through the video
oh good, you did
do not use parallell charging with this you blow a non replaceable part over time if you get a cheap copy.
so this charger is junk. its not patented so every one copys it cheaply so good luck finding the good ones. they all have a smd fuse that is on each channels xt60. if it blows or go bad likle mine/everyone else you have to order a replacment ( no identification on the component took me days to find it and im a ee)
oh and you need to be good with replacing smds. this thing was like a 0208 size lololol dont buy
Yes, everything is great, but when it breaks down after a few months and very little use, I can just throw it in the trash because you can't get help from the manufacturer. Really a shame to all the compliments about the product .
