No offense, but the Venom charger is another overpriced charger. Its another 50watt output charger and for that same amount of money, you could have bought an AC/DC charger with 100watts output with a max charge rate of 8amps.

The Thunder AC-6 does all that the Venom charger does and is only $55. Unless I'm miostaken, the only thing you can do with the Venom as far as a PC is concerned is watch a battery charge graphically on the PC. You can't control the charger from the PC.

BTW, this PC connection capability is overhyped, its not that big of a deal and gets old having to fire up a PC and connect everything just to see a graph of volts vs time.
