Good budget charger for small LiPO's?

[AndyThilo]

Hi

I'm after a small field charger, 12V only that can parallel charge up to 6 x 1300mAh 3S batteries. Doesn't have to parallel but rather be able to charge 2 at a time minimum. Only 1C charging.

Thanks

Andy

Take a look at an iCharger something like the 106B+ should easily be enough. You will need a parallel charge board, but they are inexpensive

Try Electriflyer, they do the icharger range and very good balance board.

Thanks, £65 is too expensive though . Maybe a good 3/4S only charger doesn't exist at budget level? I've got a EC3 parallel board here so I can use that, although it's just a cheapy HK one.

How much are you looking to spend? Would be easier to suggest options if we knew your budget.

Ok sorry. Well £40 would be good. I have a PL6 at home, so this is just for charging 3S 1300's for my mini quad from the car.

Recent used one of these, belonged to a club mate, and thought it did a great job. Only 50W output but would be plenty for your 3S 1300's and at less than £17 you could have two of them!

On similar lines to the imax B6 is the Hobbyking Accucell 6... They are good little chargers for the money, providing you can live with the 50W limit: Radio Control Planes, Helicopters, Cars, Boats, FPV and Quadcopters - Hobbyking
