Looks good, but no AC input....you can only charge it from a battery.

For that price you could get a Hyperion 606i AC/DC. A better charger IMHO.

I have one and i like it. Mine is the ac/dc version. It comes with every adapter you can think of. Lipo balancers and all. So far so good. Never had a hyperion so i cant compare. Every now and then it seems like it will false peak. A 3800 mah will finish at 900 or a 1500 will stop at like 150 is but if i restart it it usally peaks out. Also takes awhile to figure out how to program. But has a 5 battery memory. When you get it programed just click on battery and charge.

I also have one of these. The AC/DC version. The AC/DC switch internally broke so it only works on AC until i can send it back and get it repaired. I found it was easy to use this charger, and like the compact design

If you're having trouble with your Pro-charger, send me an email to customerservice@venom-group.com and we can arrange to get your charger repaired for you. Bear with me on my response time, we're still playing catch up from the Holiday Break. We will be open again next Monday the 5th.

For others, please note that we sell this charger in two versions, one that comes with a power supply, and one does not.

They are part numbers
VEN-0656 (DC only)
VEN-0657 (With AC power Supply)
