    New 6s charger

    Soon I will be getting T-rex 500 pro which means 6s batts so my current charger, Imax B6 AC+ is not going to be powerfull enough (nor fast) because its only 50w. I am looking to get something powerfull enough to charge 2 6s 2600-3000 mAh in parallel at 1-2C. Have my eyes set on iCharger 206b but wonder can anyone recommend something else?

    I don't want 1000 or more watt charger as I am trying to keep the cost down, as much as possible without impact on quality.

    Will be making my own server power supply.

    So,
    206b good choice or go with something else?

    T-rex 550 DFC

    Blade MCPX BL
    Spektrum DX8
    and PhoenixRC sim of course

    I have a couple of 308duo's, and they really are good, i like the idea of NOT parallel charging.

    You didnt mention budget but assume 100 ish mark if youre looking at 206b

      My budget is around 100. I think 308 duo would be overkill for me, budget and performance-wise. And why not parallel? I thought it was perfectly safe if you follow the rules?

        Just looked at 308 duo, waaaay out of my price range. Its actaully more than 3 times more expensive than what I was planing on spending :0 So my budget would be up to £100. Without PS as I can get one for free.

          In the charger world you get FMA power lab and icharger. For your budget get 206b and par board

          Used ones around £60

            It just doesnt suit me, as you cant hot swap packs, you have to wait for that group to be finished, i did do it with my 700 packs but then i got another charger, so i can now charge 4 packs individually.

            206 looks ideal, i doubt there is much else in that price range that deliver.... if it delivers the wattage for two 2600's @2c then perfect.

              Ah ok, that doesn't bother me as I alway leave them to charge fully before unplugging.

              206b seems to be the one to buy and it will cover my charging needs for new 6s batteries.
