The Thunder Ac-6 has same features as the Venom for about half the price, its a better deal for the money.


tysnowboard - thats a very limited NiMh peak sensitivity range, its barely ok for a 6 cell pac (you realy need 18-30mv range minimum for 6 cells), and would be very limiting to the point of being ineffective for 7 and 8 cell pacs (peak too early). They say this is 15 cell rated so maybe there is a mistake and the sensitivity they quote is per cell?? Otherwise, this will not be a good NiMh charger for pacs that are bigger than 6 cells.

Also there is no mention of lipo FAST charge mode or lipo storage mode. These compromises are prob why its cheaper than Thunder AC-6.

With only 5watts discharge capacity, it will take a very long time to discharge anything that starts off charged. Charger will limit discharge current to stay under this discharge power. Will not be a time effective way to discharge or cycle. This is typical of a 50watt charger like most sold by Hobbypartz or others. The discharge feature is usually intended for lowering the voltage for lipo storage if the lipo has a higher voltage than the storage voltage. These do not feature a true discharger like a Team Checkpoint 1030 charger that can discharge at 30amps.
