It worked perfectly fine. The 2 LCD screens were easy to read everything, and it was easy to use. It also does LIHV. I saw it on Amazon for $107, and then price dropped to $99.99, so I bought it. My other choices in that price range were the Hitec X2, and the Dynamite Passport. Both of those were highly touted on the RC Driver website article. The Ultra Power is more powerful , does LIHV, and the leads that came with it were already set up for what I needed. When I do a full charge, I will update on its performance. For my needs it seemed the most practical.
You chose correctly on the Ultrapower. The Hitec X2 has several flaws that are not listed on the box.
The Reedy is great, but the LiHV is limited to a max of 4.22V per cell. It should be 4.35V
