hitec x4
 
so whats any one think of the hitec x4/ hobbyking quattro/ thunder t6?

Hitec is more expensive but it does 6amps vs Quattro's 5 amps. Both are 4 channel 50watts per channel chargers. The T6 is a single type charger 5amps max with 50watts. Its like one channel of the Quattro.

More discussion on the quad type chargers here -

There's not been a lot of feedback on the T6.

I have the hobbyking one and it works like a charm!!! they are all the same there is hitech and Imax , hobbying and like 2 others but they are all the same just with a different name on the charger.

The Hitec has a max charge rate of 6amps vs the others of just 5amps....otherwise, they appear to be the same.

It's the same it's a 50watt charger same as all the others 50Watt X 4 in one box.

My bad, but the ones out on the market 1st were listed as just 5amps for max charge rate. I can find old posts on RCG that reflect that.

Now they put this somewhat confusing statement on them instead of listing a max charge rate - "50watts, current is regulated accordingly - eg. 11.1V battery: charge current approx. 4.5A, 22.2 V battery: charge current approx. 2.2A"


If you plug in a 1S, what kind of current will it actually charge at? 13.5a?

Can I charge 4 2s Lipos at the same time at 5.6 amps with this thing? I have a 45 amp power supply!

Hi i am pretty sure it only charges up to 5 amps per port...so 4 x 5 amps you can do.

Hitec says it will charge at 6amps, so yes, with 45amps, you should have plenty to charge 2 lipos at 5.6amps with the Hitec x4 charger. Thats under the 50watts pre port output power limit (5.6a x 8.4v = 47watts).
