Hobby Fans B6 Mini Professional Balance Charger/Discharger with Power Supply for 1S-6S LiPo Lilon Life NiCd NiMh Pb RC Battery

Had this for around 2 years now and it still charges super well. Theres better and faster chargers out there, but this is a great entry charger for lipo batteries.

The best charger for beginners to intermediate players, easy to use once you get started, fits in my weekend bag, and charges decently quickly.

Awesome product, got it as a intro item for use of charging, as recommended by some one. 5 stars obviously, I probably should have went to the next one up to, I think to charge more batteries? But that it only my own fault and my own lack of knowledge. Value for money is great, felt good paying what I did for what I got. Works great got much out of it. Got me into the game

I've bought two of these, and was very satisfied till other day come up with an error, couldn't use one of them that eve at the track, well fast forward a few days tried it again, and worked flawlessly.So not sure what to think over all, since still works I'm happy, But just a curious glitch, and why I dropped it one star, but would buy another if I wanted one, so not completely unhappy at all.

Buy this if u want it to not shut off when finished and possibly burn your home down. Had issues with it overcharging twice then I threw it away and bought a replacement.***lipos make a he** of a mess when they blow up and burn in your garage. Luckily it didn’t burn anything up except 2 other batteries that were laying on bench next to charger.

Just picked this up today.Had one before works well .

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: Went up in smoke after only a few months. Blew the FET on the charging circuit the second I plugged in a battery. UPDATE 2: After doing a teardown, inspection and repair I've come to the conclusion that I must have hooked the battery up backwards, which blew the FET. There is reverse polarity protection but for some reason it failed this time. I threw in a IRF7413ZGPBF MOSFET, which is in a different package and not that close to the original, but pretty much any N-channel MOSFET will work as long as it can handle the current and will respond to the inputs.We're back to businessOriginal review------------------The included power supply is only 12 volts at 5 amps. If your charger is stopping early saying it is done it is because there is not enough current. You will not be able to charge at 1C on high capacity batteries with this charger without replacing it for a higher current one or a higher voltage one.W=V*A. 12 volts * 5 amps = 60 watts. 3S 5500 @ 1C is 12.6x5.5 amps = 69.3 watts. Do the math and you'll see the issues people are having. It's not the charger's fault.You can either charge at a lower C-rating or replace the power supply with something like a laptop power supply or a bench power supply.

Works great for balancing tool batteries
