I'm loving your travel series. I went out of my way to make a hd micro run by 2x 1s lipos just so I can have a setup where drone, goggle battery and radio are all chargeable by usb. This changes things. You think if the math works out I can use a balance board or that's asking too much for this? I fly sub250 so 4s is the biggest I go.
I generally stay away from balance boards. They've killed so many of my lipos.
Say hello....
6:19 am and I’m watching your videos 😬 I need help lol. Happy Holidays AK
At least now I know I’m not the only one😆
Happy holidays!
Awesome review, Albert! 😃
I guess for micro fliers it would be more than enough!
Happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Same to you!
Great review. Nice little portable charger. I still use 4S in enough of my builds including my new kiss ultra Apex that this would be very useful for me. Happy flying everyone. 🤓
Thanks for sharing
Happy holidays AK🙏
Say hello....
Happy Holidays! 🎄
Wow this may be the smallest charger I ever saw
For all the features and price, best bang for the buck.
Whoa very cool! This is a win for micros.
Yeah, finally they are not just thinking about guys who use giant lipo packs.
@@AlbertKimTV I bought the tool kit rc m4 ac earlier this year and loved the size. The fact that this new thing is a usbc makes it that much more convenient, not that the m4ac wasn't already difficult to bring along.
Nice video bro 👍🙏
Thanks ✌️
Very good video I appreciate it :)
Imo this is a godsend. Now i only need to carry the charger and can basically charge anywhere. I got a 100w gan charger at home, 65w pd in the car and a 65w powerbank.
😎
Hi Kim, will this discharge a charged battery if I set voltage to 3.85?
Yes
Merry Christmas! Yes, I recently bought the M6 for this exact purpose, it’s honestly not much bigger. I was intrigued by the USBC to XT60 cable though, I recently made a USBC to JST Losi for charging my wife’s HoloLens from Lipos and thought I’d do the same with C- XT60. Now I don’t have to!
The USB-C cable has a special chip to negotiate the PD and QC protocols. Home-made DIY cables won't work.
@@AlbertKimTV Good to know, thanks! I can buy those PD/ QC boards here for about 2rmb- maybe 30-40 cents? I think they max out at about 3 amps though, probably not enough... I'll definitely order one of those ToolkitRC cables anyway.
It will work if my USB-C supply is less thatn 80W, right?? (EG. 45W laptop USBC supply, assuming it will just limit the max charge current I can have)
Yes. I was using a 65W power supply in the video and it worked just fine.
@@AlbertKimTV Personally I tried a lot of USB-C QC / PD power supplies, and it DOESN'T WORK with power supplies compatible with 20v output...
In fact, it stopped working in your video at 6:56 (the power input voltage became red, ie. no input)
Thanks for review.
Why there was voltage drop on USB C input side during charging? At the moment you realize you are charging at 5 A, the input voltage dropped and charging stopped and do not recover... Do you know why?
Basically the current being pumped into that battery was too fast so it actually shut it off because it thought it reached 4.2v already. It's part of the safety features. At that high current, the internal resistance on that small lipo is too much so it shuts it down so a fire doesn't start.
Thank you for your answer. And the reason why input voltage droped to 5 V? Yes it is USB but PD… Cannot this be the reason why charging was stoped too?
I wonder what their rationale is for limiting these chargers to 4s? You already have a watt limit. This would be a great "out and about" charger for my small quads. But I charge my 1s's on a serial 6s cable so I can do them in batches of 6. Obviously it would be well below the watt limit but you just can't connect it.
I think your specific situation is not common. By the way, I do the serial charging as well but I have a more flexible solution so I can go down to a 4S setup for this charger... see this video for details... th-cam.com/video/OHFHDOLAYqQ/w-d-xo.html
@@AlbertKimTV Thanks for the reply. That is a nice board. But the cables I make are very nice too and I have numbered the leads so I can jumper any unused ones to bring the cell count down. It's just that this charger is so nice and has such a small footprint but they only put a 4s sized plug on it. Seems a shame to me, and I just can't think of a reason except saving a few pennies in manufacturing why you would put a 4s plug rather than a 6s plug in there. Am I missing something?
I think you are right about my charging methods being uncommon too ;-) It's kind of amazing to me the amount of people that I talk to that don't even know what serial charging is. I know people who charge their batteries one or two at a time or buy a special charger just for their 1s's! I try to fly at least 15 packs a day (1s/3s) when I can, so parallel or serial charging is a must for me. I would literally spend all day switching out batteries to fly at night if I didn't.
Again, thanks for the reply!
Does this have storage function ?
Yes, choose 3.85v as your end voltage.
@@AlbertKimTV ok . So this also will charge/discharge to 3.85v ? Thankyou very much .
Will this charger work with a galaxy 3s 300mah 11.1v 45c cont 90c burst. Its a little micro battery for 1/24 crawler
Probably but I have not idea what connector it uses.
how to stop charging?
Just unplug the balance lead if you want to stop in the middle.
How do I charge the battery in storage mode with this charger?
Set the voltage to 3.85v as shown in the video.
Can this charger charge 1s lipos?
Yes with the adapter in this video... th-cam.com/video/OHFHDOLAYqQ/w-d-xo.html
This would be amazing if it was a way to storage charge your batteries while charging your phone, but without it, I would kill way too many batteries...
Set the voltage to 3.85 and it will stop when it reaches storage voltage. Perfect solution!
Anyone try plugging a 6S lipo on the input side?
A fully charged 6S is 25.2. That’s 0.2 over the recommended voltage. Is that enough to smoke the M4?
I think this was already answered elsewhere in the comments. I recall 6S was OK.
Hi Albert! Since the usb-c goes both ways… If you connect a battery bank via usb-c how does it know if you’re wanting to use it to charge a LiPo or charge it with a LiPo. Does it depend on what you connect first? Thanks!
For this charger, the USB-C is input only. No output.
Unfortunately forcing the use of both the balance port and charge port seems like a miss. I don't think many of my smaller 2s and 3s lipos would be able to reach both ports as they have very short leads. I know that there are a few chargers on the market that can charge through the balance lead alone and that would have made this perfect for my needs. Thanks for the review.
😎
Great video Albert! At 10:40 on your timeline. You mentioned reaching out to ToolRC to see if they can update their firmware to monitor and automatically stop one your battery reaches 3.8. Did they ever update the firmware? Thanks
Not sure, I have not checked but if there is a firmware update it would be on their website.
Gah! This thing is the *exact* form factor I was looking for as a general purpose charger... but I guess it can't do an unbalanced charge, or charge lead acid. That's a pretty epic fail on ToolkitRC's part. :( Hopefully they can fix that in firmware.
They have other general purpose chargers for those needs. This one is special purpose for mainly small batteries in a travel scenario.
@@AlbertKimTV I've been looking. :) I do have the iCharger X12, and it's awesome.. but only XT60 on the input. Sure, I've got a PD 20V/5A trigger -> XT60 cable, but one more thing to keep around. The M4 could absolutely support unbalanced charging... literally just, say, long-press the button, have it pop up "change unbalanced battery with (X) cells?" (cycling through cell count), and one more to confirm.
does it charge without the balancer port connected (2S Lipo) ?
Thank you!
No, it doesn't
