AntiMatter 250W from BangGood

[MAGNUMB]

Any thoughts on this $47 charger from BangGood? Seems to have all the options one would need. May be a little complicated for what most people will do though. Was also looking at the Onyx 260 touchscreen for $150

Spend money on a good charger. I wouldn't get the BangGood or Onyx. The BangGood is unproven from what I can see and Onyx are typically overpriced for what you get. They seem to be more geared towards beginners. Here's a similar option, for example, for $50. I did not go through all of the specs for a direct comparison. Just showing you to look around.

The Antimatter looks to be a clone of the iCharger 106, which is a good charger. It probably has the typical chinese solder job at that price point though, questionable how long they'll last. At that price, you could spend a bit more and just get a real iCharger 106 that will last. However, you need a DC power supply with the Antimatter and the iCharger, and they might be a bit overkill unless you want to charge past 6 amps.

+1 I wouldn't trust the banggood model to last long at all. I had the onyx as my first Lipo charger and I only used it for about a year, It's slow and it's rated specs aren't 100% true, it did do the job though just slowly. I also am running a Savage Flux and needed 2 batteries to run, when charging 6 batteries it was time consuming so I went to a 400 watt Sky RC charger and 500 watt Sky RC power supply and started para charging a d have had no problems since.

Good advice, I've had cheaper chargers and when they work, they usually don't charge as fast as their specs indicate they should. Buy a geniune i106 and properly rated power supply or a good AC/DC charger like Hitec X2 AC Plus that I'm currently using.
