Hi I am looking for a charger that fits the following criteria:
1. It's one piece(no external power supply)
2. Only plugging in the white plug is enough. (I am not sure about the name of this plug, which is used to detect voltage. The point is that I don't need to plug in 2 things to charge 1 battery)
3. It doesn't make noise when charging.
4, Can charge at least 2 sets of batteries at the same time.
Please let me know. I will look at all price points.
Thanks!

Did you look in the many other charger advise topics?
And what have you found by your self hat you can show and we advise?

One thing will be difficult, to find a decent charger that only will charche thruogh the balance connector because that plug can handle a limited current.
Here a charger that can do 1.3A

I have looked but not very in depth. Just don't see the thing about only charging through the balance connector because it's not something others care about in general.

I am wonder what the difference between this and the cheap B3 charger. Is it just the quality?

I wouldnt be surprised if Turnigy is rebranding the iMax charger. Probably about the same. These will both charger terrible slow though. Like 4hrs for a 4000mah batt. And there is a reason you plugin two cables. For $30 you can get one that charges that same batter in an hr with that second cable.

The EV Peak E3 and E4 are both chargers that charge through the balance connector, but they only charge one battery. The only charger that I could find that uses the balance connector and does multiple batteries is the Ultra Power UP-S4AC. But be aware this is only a 7w per channel charger, which means it will be less than 1 amp on 2S. Whereas the EV Peaks go up to 3A.

You didn't mention the capacity of the batteries you're looking to charge.

May I ask why you don't want to use the main battery connection to charge? It opens 99% of the charger market as opposed to the balance plug chargers.

Hi thanks for the reply. The only reason is that I feel like plugging in anther thing is inconvenient. Especially for the battery in my Futaba transmitter.

Hi one problem I had with the cheap B3 charger is that it charges the batteries to 8.48 volts. This is probably too much right? Would those have the same problem? Also, the batteries are like 4800 and 5000

That could be a problem of internal components having a value/failure going out of their tolerance window. But it can also be the used voltmeter, for sure those cheap LiPo checkers have no calibration.

For sure it is no default problem on all produced B3

Worth a read here to help you understand key features to consider when selecting a charger:

Which charger is the best?

I own the rebrand version of this charger but it is a DC only charger and will charge up to 8 cells thru balance wire only at up to 6 amps.Radiolink CB86 plus.210 watts.I like this charger but it is kinda slow to what I want almost any time im playing with my rc stuff

It seems it needs an external power supply. No?

This will allow you to charge through the balance port:

You will just have to charge at a VERY low rate.

Didn't see where you mentioned a price. Maybe I missed it. But I love this charger

You also did not see he only want to charge through the balance connector.
