| Quad port charger
With my ever increasing supply of batteries I am now needing a quad port charger. I've done a bit of research and I think I've found all the ones on the market that suit my needs (integrated balancing, etc...). I've settled on the HK Quattro but I'd like to hear from some that already have this charger. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for", and well, this charger is pretty cheap. So fill me in, is this a good buy or not? And if not, what is?

I have the Hitec version of this charger, the x4. If they are indeed identical, I would highly recommend buying one. |

I'd try to find out if the 50w power limit is per port, or total. What kind of packs are you charging?

Although I have never used one, but my lhs carries them, and these chargers are huge and ugly. But that doesn't affect performance just a opinion, I've been looking at getting the turnigy, http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11170 Last edited by losikid; 01-30-2011 at 10:38 AM. |

| It's 50W per port. I won't be charging anything higher than a 1000mAh 3s for the time being.

One of my mates has one. Works like a charm. They only thing i noticed is it tends to get warm if you've got 4 packs on at once (sort of to be expected though). |
