Can someone recommend an affordable LIPO charger that can charge 4 different size lipos at the same time?
Thanks,
Chris

Like this:Thunder T6 Multi-LiPo Battery Charger (4X 6-Cell) Professional Balance Charger/DisCharger w/ LCD Display
Or:HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : HobbyKing ECO 4 x 6S Lithium Polymer Multi Charger
Seem to be the same unit as the Hitec x4 or whatever it is called. Lots of speculation that they are identical. Some negative reviews on both so it may be wise to spend the extra cash on the Hitec so that you get the better support.

I believe you are SOL.......from what I've seen, the "multiple chargers" do multiple packs of the same voltage & capacity.
My best suggestion is.......plan ahead better or get 1 or 2 more chargers.......:roll:
PS, "SOL" is NOT Spanish in this post.......:roll::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

i have the b6 Quatro and I love it I can charge 4 different battery types(port 1 nihms port 2 nicd port 3 lipo port 4 lead battery for example) at different rates and capacities all at the same time and SAFELY....
I got it for under 150 just needed a power supply to use it inside instead of under my hood. i have heard some bad things about the hoby king charger (its very cheap and bad soldering causing them to fail)

I got myself a second charger, couldn't be happier. a few people I know have the 4x hitec, the 2x hitec, and the turningy multi chargers aswell, they all seem to work just fine.

hitec is the way to go on this one... i've had this setup for about 6 months, and i cant complain( and im good at complaining)...
not to mention, they just released a AC version, so you dont need a crazy power supply like the one i got...
check it out, you wont find a better one..."thumbsup"

Before they came out with the Hitec 4x. I bought 2 Hyperion Duo to charge 4 at a time. Workes well but you need a HUGE power supply......

damn it took 116 minutes to put 1418ma into a battery? wtf
Will it only spread out 5amps over 4 batterys? If your only charging 1300mah and smaller batterys a charger like this might be ok. But if you have anything over that I would just get 2 chargers. Like the 6-10's from hobbyking, or the hobbypartz 10amp charger. And get some of the Genace 5c chargable batterys. A 1000mah takes less the 15min to balance charge. W/ 3 batterys the fun never stops.

The hobby king charger says in it's description, it can charge 4 different batteries of different types simultaneously.

As has been mentioned since my post.
I also stated, "from what I've seen". Obviously I have not looked at the specs for this charger.
Thanks for pointing it out though...again....;-)

It will do 6 amps on each port. I have done it before. My guess is a slow charge rate. .5 c will take about 2 hours. I usually charge everything at 3c because I'm inpatient and usually replace my packs after 50 cycles or so anyways
But my Hyperion pack says 5C recommended 6C ok. :ror: You can't seriously believe I'm not gonna try and charge that damn thing as fast as my charger will! :lmao::lmao::lmao:
