Ownership verified by DX Cheap
Posted by k3bab on 6/25/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Good for the price.
Uses about 12V and comes with wires, so I can power it by a standard 12V power supply or use 12V from the PC power supply. You can also use it in your car.
Easy to use. Just connect the power and battery and wait for green LED to stop blinking.

Cons: Isn't supposed to charge batteries bigger than 1600mAh. But I think I can get pass this by disconnecting the battery after 2 hours and then connect it agin.
Not sure if it balances the battery.

Other Thoughts: Doesn't comes with a power adapter. If it's a pro, it's up to you. It makes it cheaper, and saves you if you have too many power adapters lying around. And if you lives in Europe (where we have 220V) it's bad if you get an "US adapter" for 110V. It'a con if you don't have an extra power adapter, but you'll sure find one here at DX, and they doesn't cost too mouch.

Bottomline: Not one of those super proffesional computer chargers, but does the job.

Pros: -A simple charger for a great price.
-Charging 11.1v (3 cell) 800mAh mostly, works well.

Cons: Plugs fit a bit too tight on mine, but no problem.
The charger seems to take long, charging every cell seperatly after another (but this balances them rather well).

Other Thoughts: Anything from 750 up should do fine. Smaller packs would get stressed too much.
Use any 1500mAh 12v ac/dc adapter, or modify a computer atx as suggested here allready.
12V 1A Adapter might allready work instead of 1,5A, so $4,50 adapters such as sku.15989, sku.15991, sku.15992, sku.15990 might do the job (untested!)
Do not worry if it takes longer then suggested in the manual, nor worry about charging it longer then the 2 hours mentioned.
Just never charge lipo without beeing arround, and put it on a non-flamable + non-conducting surface. If the Lipo battery gets very hot, disconect! This indicates battery or charger deffect.

Bottomline: Buy. Nice travel charger as it can also operate on car batteries.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: -price. One of the cheapest charger I've ever seen.
-simplicity. Just plug in your battery and wait until green LED stops flashing.
-size. This one is really small so you can have it with you in the car for example.
-speed. It takes only 1,5-2 hours to charge 900mAh LiPo battery.

Cons: -delicate (?).Mine burned after few charges (10 or so...) but I got another one (same model, different source) and it works perfectly. Maybe first one was faulty from the beginning....

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Simple but does it's job perfectly and I'm pretty sure that it's best you can get for such low price.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: -Very inexpensive
-Easy to handle
-compact
-can be used on a car batery

Cons: -This is not a professional charger but it does its job!

Other Thoughts: This little charger is very usefull, even if you own a professional charger. Especially for outdoor use I can just put it in the glove department or in my backpack.
You do need a AC/DC adapter though if you do not have a 12v source.
You can either buy some random 12v 1A adapter at DX or modify a old computer atx (there are many instructions on how to do this online).

Bottomline: It never hurts to have one of those :-)
I also recomend it for people who want to start r/c flying but do not want to spend a fortune right away.
With the Mystery-Lipo they sell here at DX it is a cheap solution.
