| Affordable dual-3s-charger?
Anyone have recommendations on a charger, preferrably one that can charge at least 2-3s batteries simultaneously?? Anything that would be an affordable upgrade to my Venom Smart Charger? Thanks, all! R.C. means both;Remote control, and Rock Crawler. |

I've got the same thing as the sky but in red, passport ultra P2, absolutely love it. It's also what my LHS uses to charge their batteries. Bluetooth connects to my phone where I can start/stop and change all the settings. |

I’ll throw out that you could probably get two chargers for cheaper than a dual charger and have the same relative capabilities while spending less money. This way if one fails you can still charge on the other one, whereas if a dual charger failed you’re kind of losing two chargers. Ex. Just based off the two suggestions... https://usa-m.banggood.com/SKYRC-S60...SABEgIF6PD_BwE |

Most "discharge" functions of chargers will only discharge to about 3v. To safely dispose of a LiPo at its EOL, one must FULLY discharge the battery before disposal. So after "discharging" it with my charger, i soldered some leads to an automotive turn signal (has two filaments) and plugged in the battery. This safely discharged the remaining charge. I left it sit for a little while after the light went out and tested each cell with my multimeter. Cells ranged from .003v to .008v. I then cut off the leads (both balance and main) and soldered the main leads together to ensure there could be no build up of charge. Now i can just toss it in the trash. |

Thanks for all the help, guys! I decided to grab the Passport Ultra P2! Only quarrel so far is the app apparently isnt compatible with my newest Android system update. So it searches for the charger via bluetooth, but says no charger found? O well, its still been great for the day.5 that ive had it! R.C. means both;Remote control, and Rock Crawler. |
