​​​Ordered this little guy from Amazon the other day. Using it with a 20v 65w type c laptop charger for power supply. I'm gonna use it at the track see if it works out.

got around to using this charger. It's tiny. About the size of a lcg shorty lipo. Neat little guy charged up my 4100mah shorty in about 10min from storage. The whole thing will fit in my radio bag make it nice when I don't want to bring the whole pit box to the track for some laps. Also the cost is low. Whole system with the charging leads was around $40.

Does it balance too?

A question with an easy to find answer to look up the manual or take a closer look to the posted pictures in the start post, there is a balancer cable connected.....

Also the picture that has been posted with the Specifications clearly says Balance current: 0.5A/Cell Max

76jimmy 12-20-2022 04:03 AM

The maximum input current of 3A is something to notice...
Say you want to charge from a 12v source (most common) then you can not charge with more than 36 watt, for a 2S battery that will be 4.5A, the 6A will never be reached.....
With 3S and 4S it will be much less.

76jimmy 12-20-2022 05:36 AM

Yea needs to be powered with a type c USB 20v 65w laptop charger. I was going to check output with my meter. There's a couple reviews on YouTube for it more for quadcopter guys but it's small and it seems to put out 6a for 2s anyways. I have my doubts about 3 and 4s though.

disaster999 12-20-2022 04:41 PM

6a for 4s? no, 3a? yes. It has a charging power of 60W, so with 4S with the charger set at 6a, the charging rate would be around 3.5amps max.

Only if you power it with 20v.....

Using a 12v source uou have only got 36w, then with 4S you will be left with 2A charging current.

Yes it really depends on how you are powering the charger. Most modern PD power source or PD supply with high wattages should be capable of supply the voltages and amperages it needs to power the charger. I wouldnt use any Quick Charge USB C standards as it most likely wouldnt work with this charger. QC as the name implies is for charging things, PD acts more like a power supply which this charger needs.

76jimmy 12-22-2022 04:21 AM

I've seen 240w USB C cables but not the power sources yet. I say yet because there will be devices coming out using the higher power PD 3.1 USB standard. Will be cool to see if we get chargers that use that.
