If I wanted to connect a second ToolkitRC M6D 500W dual charger, would I just have to put a second pigail to the two remaining unused posts? Would this have the power to charge 4x 6s batteries
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I commented this on the wrong video ! :( I meant to ask this on the video about the 400w power supply. I use this m6d And want to plug a second one onto the second terminal and wasn't sure if it had enough juice to run all four batteries at once. I'm not sure how I managed to comment on the wrong video LOL! sorry! I believe the power supply is the RDQ or at least equal spec.
Can you plug in 2s,3s... batteries? I mean no disrespect, I simply don't know if the plugs for balance charging, on the unit, will fit all the batteries. I did not see this in the video, so I was a little confused. Can this do 2s,3s,4s, etc or only 6s?
I’ve watched several of your vids on charging and they are very good info. But what about charging drone batteries? Would there be any big benefit to one of these chargers for specific drone batteries
You would need a special cable to use a drone battery with these chargers. Drone batteries are just batteries, but encased in "dummy proof" plastic. Break off the plastic and you have a regular lipo battery.

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about getting my own FPV drone, so I'm "reading" up on how things work. I'm wondering, would it be possible to discharge one battery by charging another? Could you, for example, discharge channel 1 to storage level, but instead of turning the energy into heat use it to charge up the battery in channel 2? If not with this one, i\Is this a feature that you see in other chargers?
The answer is Yes. On chargers like this and others, you take the charge from the battery in the front and put it in the battery in the rear. I'm not aware of chargers that let you plug two in the front and transfer charge from one to the other, other than in balancing.

Rick Britton. Dear Captain drone, Would this charger work with Fimi 2020 batteries, I'm not for sure if those batteries are smart batteries, I already received a IMax B6 V2 charger, still waiting for duell charging cable, my Fimi is in California, FedEx says 6-8-20 arrival time I have so much to learn, Thank you for your reviews, I always learn something new, Thank you . I was thinking to save up and try to purchase a Hobby D6 charger, I think the cost is alot higher around 160.00 ddollar's,I really want to learn and fly fpv quad, but money is always a big factor So my question is, would that charger, help or work with Fimi 2020 batteries , will that charger charge the batteries faster out in the field, while flying a mission, it is so small that is really cool,and so intelligent . Or should I wait until I can start flying fpv. God bless you and your family. Sincerely Rick from Mo
When it comes to batteries like the FIMI or Hubsan you'd have to have the correct cable to go from the battery to the charger. If one does not exist, then you can not use it.
Correct, that was mentioned in the video. These charges are made for the field which is why they are known as portable chargers (many run them off their car batteries or cigarette lighter). If you need a power adapter, there are many on BANGGOOD for cheap. Here is one of the best power adapters but a bit more costly. ua-cam.com/video/IXIssbRWJ7s/v-deo.html
I've never charged anything over 10,000 mAh so I could not tell you. Certainly it would work since each cell is a set voltage and it is just the size, but I can't tell you how well it would work.
@@kisandrone Not at 10 amps, not with this little guy. I only have one such battery and it powers a unit that is a back up power at a cottage. I've used this to charge that battery SLOWLY at 2 amps.
great vid thanks! quick question as I'm thinking of buying one now:P if you have 2x lipos that aren't used to below storage charge it would be useful to see how the extra voltage can be pushed into the power supply battery Don't know why you want to waste it as heat rather than store the energy for later (even better for a lead acid deep cycle or car battery when traveling) thanks again
as we can see the discharge and storage feature is not working correctly , you have choose 2A and we only see 0.48A discharge also you did'nt show the max and lowest amp charging and the final llowest voltage you can choose
I use Lipo Bags within AMMO Boxes. Here are two vids on the subj: Video 1: ua-cam.com/video/I932MB8B254/v-deo.html Video 2: ua-cam.com/video/0sWbW3Z5WWM/v-deo.html
Fantastic review, very thorough and easy to understand! Do you know if this charger will work with the Bugs 4w/JJRC X11, which have a proprietary charger bank that is powered by a USB cable? A lot of my drones don't have the XT30 cables attached to the batteries, instead having their own proprietary charger banks.
You'd have to have a cable that goes to the battery and back to the charger (ST60 on one end). Also, for batteries that charge by plugging in a USB cable into the battery, there is nothing that can be done for those batteries.

Great job. Thank you for the most excellent review. Exactly what I Need! But were do you get the charging cables for the DJI battery's???
You'd have to do a Google search for something like Mavic Pro charging cable to XT60. (insert correct drone name).
so 1 battery can charge 2 ?
M6D or Hobbymate speed 6?
If I wanted to connect a second ToolkitRC M6D 500W dual charger, would I just have to put a second pigail to the two remaining unused posts? Would this have the power to charge 4x 6s batteries

Thank you for trying to decipher the nonsense that was that question, in the context of THIS video HAHAHA.
So we need a charged battery to power it to charge batteries?
Only if you run it off of DC vice AC. Most RC Hobby battery chargers are designed for the filed where AC plugs really don't exist.
Yup
The same one is not popping up on the link you provided 🤔
I just checked it at this end, and it is the same one on Banggood that I showed in the review.

Hi Steve what's the best app for the JJrc x12? Tried the q code but doesn't work on Android anymore? Some say the c fly app what you recommend ?
Have a look at my JJRC X12 review, the first comment below it answers your questions.
Great review thanks how long can you charge up packs using the one battery?
It depends on the mAh of the pack doing the charging. If you had a 5000 mAh then you could charge many packs.
What would be a good set of goggles for someone that can only see out of one eye?
Box goggles.... you know those googles that look like a box in front of your eyes. Perfect for one eye because they just display one big image in the front and not a different image for each eye.
