I like mine, I do not have much experience with chargers/balancers but it works well and I have had no issues with it. The only thing I don't like is that I have to get an adapter for the thunder power batteries to balance them.

I've had mine for 6 months now and it still works flawlessly every time. I can see it working for a very long time.

You will likely have to do that for every charger/balancer. I cant think of one that comes with balancer adapters for ALL types of batteries....

Haha...that's funny. I do have some experience with lipos, but I am not an expert.

Personally, I balance my lipos whenever I get the chance. If I am in a hurry and can not easily get the correct adapter or connect the balancer adapter, then I wont worry about it. I would say that I balance my packs about 90% of the time.

Should be a great charger. That same factory makes the same one re-packaged/labeled for alot of brands. We have had/have the same one, and they work great.

Need to cut the top retainer clip off and maybe move a wire(s) on the balance plug. No adapter needed, might have to plug it into a different cell slot also. Not sure why but mine have come with random balance plugs...6s plug on a 2s pack, 4s plug on a 3s pack etc.

Post up a picture of the balance plug and we can get you figured out.

I got my from Hobbypatz. They are a great charger, I've had mine for almost a year now. I've been thinking of getting a second one so I can charge two lipos at once and to have a back up.
