Multi charger

[Shep0479]

Hi, can someone offer a link for a device that will charge multiple batteries at once? For my nano cpx and I've seen someone's sale with heli that charges 6 at a time? Cheers.

Theres a thread here where I asked the same question

Its nice but wont be much use after you progress on to other heli's ... something like a Acuccel 6 will be good for a lot longer.

But it is cheap and will do the job. Do I need anything else? Will it be able to plug into the wall? Or do i need other things? Sorry if I'm asking daft questions.

No question is daft! Your gonna need a Power supply for it, to convert from 230v AC to 12v DC. Back when I first started I used a Fusion 100W power supply, cost me about £18. It will power that charger no problem but won't have much grunt if you go onto larger helis.

By the look of it a psu and 6 x mcpx batt adapters ...not the same as nano batterys so unless they do a pico adapter its no good

A Accucel would be cheaper with all the cables the 6 adapters are £12 alone

What's a PSU?

Power supply unit?

I wouldn't bother with the ripmax hex, I bought one a while ago, was very disappointed with it, my nano-techs and oem eflight batteries dont fit in either of the two interchangeable top covers it comes with and it doesn't seem to fully charge the batteries either.

I've just bought an Etronix power pal quad 4x80w and a hobby king 600w power supply, it has 4 seperate ports so I can charge all my 3's, 2's and 1's batteries all at the same time which is very handy.

Looking back on things I wished I hadn't spent so much on getting ac power supplies to fit the std eflight chargers (nano cpx charger and blade 300x charger) plus buying the Hex, if you plan on staying in the hobby and upgrading to larger electric heli's, I would save up and buy the best charger setup you can afford now, as this will save money in the long run.


If you really want a ripmax hex to get you by, you can have mine foc just cover postage and its yours

Power supply unit?

Yes ..and Foc is free of charge

So am I right in saying I could attach a 6 way lead into one of the pal quad adapters and then charge them all together?

[A.N.T]

I can connect a 6way parallel pico cable and charge 6 nano 1's batteries on one port, I then also have 3 other ports on the charger that I can use at the same time to charge my 3 130x 2's batteries in paraallel and the other 2 ports to charge my 3's batteries, I only got it through a couple of days ago and still waiting for the charge leads I've ordered to arrive, so far I've only been charging my nano 1's batteries. Look forward to actually putting it through its paces as the charger that came with the 130x was **** poor and took over 3 hours to charge the 3x2's batteries.

You don't get many leads with the etronix power pal (tamiya lead, jst, t lead , receiver lead, and some crocodile leads) I bought a 6way pico lead for the cpx batts from hobby king at the same time I bought the power supply, also I have ordered the 130x 6way parallel lead and ec3 para board (300x batteries) from Fast Lads, should be here tomorrow, So that should keep me going for a little while

Look at the video on the other thread it shows you how to parallel charge multiple 1s batts
