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.

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

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

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?

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).
