Turnigy chargers...
 

Figured I would be better off to start a new topic.

I know their batteries are fine, maybe not the best but work just fine for the price. The LHS got a turnigy charger in for $80, then $20 for the power supply. It sounds like a hell of a deal to me, but I would like to know if they are worth it? I was originally looking into a hyperion charger but they are pretty pricey and I would have to order it (canada is gay when you need to order parts). I am not exactly sure what model it was, I will try and dig it up on hobby city. But has anyone used them with success? Thanks,

Depends on which model it is. If you can afford it get the hyperion 'cause I got a cheap chinese charger and it is really innaccurate at measuring cell voltage. Some people don't have a problem with them but do you want to take that risk or just get a decent charger?

I bought a Turnigy Accucel-6 to charge 2S lipos with and its been a solid charger. Been using it about 8months. It's amazingly full featured for what it cost. Its drawback is its a 50 watt charger. Anything 3S and above will run into current limitations. If you're looking at bigger cell counts, the Accucel-8 is a 150watt charger, same electronics, menus etc, just more output. On HobbyCity's site the 6 is $38 and the 8 is $70. Sound like your lhs is selling the Accucel-8.

The only complaint I've seen has been a few have had the fan fail. They seems to have used a cheapie fan and it makes noise and/or stops.

It looks like the lhs is selling the accucel-6... I will check maybe tomorrow and make sure. If that's all it is, I won't bother. I will wait till I have the flow to get a hyperion set up.

What do they make for a 2s lipo charger? Wouldnt need to charge at more then 5 amps

My buddy needs a cheap charger

Venom Pro 119.99, Charges up to 5amps and has everything included AC/DC powered too ?
