New Charger turnigy 4x6s?

[PinchofSalt]

I know its not technically a 130x issue, but I'm sure you guys will have contacts...
I'm chewing through packs of lipo's and need a new charger waiting an hour for each to recharge is just painful - I really like the spec/look of the new Turnigy 4x6s - gives me scope power for future and can do 4 batteries at once.

But I simply can't find it in stock anywhere... even HK don't seem to have it (and I'd prefer uk based shop if pos)

Anyone seen it in passing anywhere?

Cheers

Hi PinchofSalt,
some alternate charging possibilities;
I have been using a Maxpro Quint balance charger for a couple of years, the model i use is possible to charge 2s and 3s lipo's 5x packs at a time at 1A or 2A or 3Amps through the balance connectors.
Mostly all 5x packs are full charged in approximately one hour.
An alternative is to charge a number of cells in parallel using an appropriate charge cable and suitable balance charger, i use an Imax B6 charger with Quantum JST Parallel Charge lead 6 output Q-CL-0007.
The charger i use for my 6s 5000mah lipo's is the Thunder T6 multi. hope some of this info is helpful.....

You can just parallel charge from a normal charger as long as all batteries are roughly equally discharged.

However, having a multi port charger does mean you can charge different types/sizes at once and can be quite handy.

This one is in stock, not quite as powerful but would suffice for anything up to around 500 sized batts.

That charger looks great and will be my next unit since my Imax Quattro is on it's last legs!

Thanks yes very helpful - except I've found the x205 quad charger - looks very nice - good display of what is going on etc.. Maxpro RC Technology Inc. - X205 Quad Balance Charger
but again I can't source it from anywhere...
