@1983dmd - haha. Yep, even this dumbass tends to learn from his mistakes. That of course doesn't excuse the numerous Jar Jar Binks moments I seem to suffer from lately. 🙃
Hi John. Sorry this is off topic from the charger. I just had nowhere else to put the comment, my apologies. Wish I was wealthy enough to send you a Fly Wing FW450 V3. I know you've reviewed the V2 and the 200 Sized one from a few years ago. Like you, I don't consider these "Real CP Heli's", even though you can fly them in full CP no stabilization mode, and can use a regular TX, instead of the crappy Drone type they give you with it. Not sure if you remember me or not, but you taught me to fly, and I've been in many of your comments. I'm good in all aspects with not just flying very well now, but also all repairs and maintenance, as well as Swash Leveling of course, and using servo linkage adjustments, instead of Sub-Trims on radios to get it just right. As I've turned into an addicted Heli Phreak. I already had the V2 version of this Heli, and the 200 sized, I just had to have the V3, as I saw what Alishanmao was doing with the latest version several months ago before the release. I have to say, it's MUCH more responsive, than the more sluggish V2, and even though I can do Piro Flips with a normal CP 3D Heli, it's really interesting doing clean Piro Flips, and Tik Tocs with the flick of a switch, and simply pushing and holding the left or right rudder control stick to full position. I've heard the FW450 V2.5 can do what the V3 does, as they have the same newly designed RX. They send you a 4S large capacity lipo with it, but the ESC's secret is, it can handle up to a 6S lipo, with no problems, and this heli was designed to do so. I haven't flown it with a 5 or 6S yet. I don't know if you'd be interested in the results. I know I'm long winded, sorry. I honestly don't know why Flywing didn't just send you one to get your thoughts on it, as you are a great reviewer, and they sent out several of these for free, to other Heli enthusiasts for review.
Thank you so much for this video, looks like it's perfect for my needs. I immediately ordered one of these chargers from my LHS after viewing this. For years I've been running a crappy G.T. power C607D that my LHS recommended to me when I first started running lipo powered electric vehicles, which was fine back then because I only had 2s compatible vehicles. I've now started getting much higher powered Arrma cars that run up to 6s, so I wanted a better quality/ more advanced charger that was also capable of charging two packs simultaneously in addition to displaying more info than when charging than my C607D, which only displays the duration of the charge cycle and the total power it has put in the battery and doesn't even have the option to view individual cells
Advantage of D6pro: - Calibration of cell measurements - End of charge speed finish with an adjustable % - the max/min cells on the main screen. - A counter of the number of lipo charges. - a little smaller...but if the power supply is better on skyrc ?
I've never used the D6 so can't comment. Going by specs alone and what I put the most value on (power), the D200 wins out @ 20A 35A combined) and 800W max. Totally depends on your powering needs of course.
Thanks for this great video. I have 3 questions that I can't find anywhere, D6 pro is capable of it. 1- Is it able to charge 1S because I saw bad reviews about it maybe it was solved by an update? 2- When only the balancing socket is connected, is it able to instantly give the voltages per element? 3- When it is turned on again does it remember the old setting? I hesitate between hobbymate/D6pro and SKYRC, I know that the internal power supply is the weak point, I can't find a photo of the disassembled charger to compare. We just see that through the vents everything seems black on Skyrc but on the D6 pro we see 3 yellow capacitors i think. Advantage of D6pro: - End of charge speed finish with an adjustable % - max/min cells on the main screen. - A counter of the number of lipo charges.
1. Charges 1S just fine. Actually show it doing exactly that in the last video I made of the Esky 150 EC review. 2. Yes it shows all cell voltages when you plug in the balance lead. It doesn't show that screen however when you first power it on, you have to cycle through the 3 screens with the Port A/B button to get to that specific screen. 3. Last charge settings for each port (A/B) are stored when powered down.
We'll see. I got rid of my miserable time sucking smart phone years ago, so no App video is possible, but certainly a PC one is doable. I never bother with such data analytics myself with my packs; just keep it simple, charge and fly; but if others would find the PC interface interesting, perhaps I'll do a quick overview. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@Rchelicopterfun Ha, well a tablet should work also if you or a friend have one to test the app. As far as I can tell nobody on YT has posted a review of the PC software or the app and this is one of the major features separating this charger from the competition. Thanks again for posting, look forward to future videos.
Not weird at all. Charge % is a useless value because it's only based on voltage potential, not true capacity that has gone into or out of the battery; that is the important value to keep your eye on.
I stated specs and brand in the video @ 17:33 "Meanwell 1000 watt 24V" Got mine from BuddyRC. They don't carry it anymore, but have the HP Server 1800W 24V for an even better price: www.buddyrc.com/products/buddy-rc-1800w-75a-24v-server-power-supply?ref=-ptdbz6d-llb
Is there a power supply that can be connected to both AC and DC at the same time so that if power from AC fails it runs of DC and when AC mains comes back to then change back to AC again?
The specs are correct. 10 Watts max discharge per channel (mine topped out at 9W as shown). The 37W is the total balance discharge current of all balance cells combined, i.e. apx 6W per cell (6W x 6 cells = 36W) or 1.5A per cell. In short, you will never get 37W of discharge out of the main, that is the balance port total load specification only.
@@Rchelicopterfun Thanks for the reply and confirming that. For the other neo models, they clearly state the balance port can be used for discharging. e.g. Q200neo can discharge at 25W/channel. The D200neo is perhaps only 10W as it has the external discharge option.
Para-Board: www.buddyrc.com/collections/paraboard?ref=-ptdbz6d-llb If you don't know what parallel charging is: www.rchelicopterfun.com/parallel-lipo-charging.html
Yep, very simple. Get a PS that is rated at or near to, but not over the maximum rated input voltage of the charger and have the same or more power output that the charger is capable of producing. Example: If you had a charger that had a maximum input voltage of 24VDC and was rated at 1000 Watts. You would get a 24V power supply also rated at 1000W or higher Wattage. Since many PS only indicate current output and not power output you would use Ohms law to calculate the power in Watts. Using the 24V/1000W PS example above (24/1000 = about 42 Amps). I cover this in much detail on my RC Power Supply Basics Page: www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-power-supply.html
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer! I read that page on your website yesterday but I must somehow have missed the part where you explained this. 😄 I took my first steps into this hobby a few years ago, but suddenly lost interest and sold everything off. I’m looking to take it up again and I’ll be purchasing your PDF book “starter pack” soon. Your website was what got me into the hobby those years ago. It’s an amazing resource!
Hello, I have a DPS-1200FBA psu with 100A at 12v, I have soldered a 4mm female banana connector to it, I plug it into the neo, I put 1 livh 4s 6500 in each channel and I charge by balancing at 20A per channel, I see that it only reaches to charge at 13A 180w per channel, so it gives me 360w in total, and it does not reach the 800w that it is supposed to give me. Where is the problem supposed to be?
Because you are feeding it substantially less voltage than the 30V rated max input voltage. Maximum rated outputs on all RC charges are given at the maximum input voltage they are rated at; Ohms law in action. There is also the DC to DC conversion loss that has to be taken into account. A 4S LiHv pack is fully charged @ 17.4V (4x 4.35V) while the charger is only being feed 12V. There is power loss in that DC up conversion process.
@@Rchelicopterfun So I need another similar psu to connect them in series and give me 24v to be able to get all the performance out of the charger and be able to charge in parallel taking advantage of the 800w. Thanks for everything, great article and great website😃
@@Rchelicopterfun Can I ask a question: How do I distinguish between these batteries? AGM flat plate .. AGM spiral .. GEL .. EFB ..?? Is this written on it? Or do you know her by her appearance?
No Idea? It comes and goes (not there most of the time). Suspect it's some sort of bluetooth code/info status, but I never use this charger with BT so can't be sure. One thing, it's certainly not 489Amps 😄. Perhaps code 489A missing signal? It's also not listed anywhere in the instruction manual. You'd likely have to contact SkyRC direct to find out for sure.
I have one and was charging 2 4s 6000 mah lipos on 6 amps each one and port b lipo went up to 4.43 or a little higher each cell and then it shut down saying bad cell. Would that be the charger or the lipo that is bad? Yowoo 4s 150c 6000mah
Would have to test the battery and charger with a good DMM to diagnose; keeping in mind, the battery is always the first thing to suspect as they are a consumable item in a constant state of degradation.
@@Rchelicopterfun Nice, I hope it will perform as well as my I charger 308 duo. Just did not want to spend that much on a second charger. Time will tell...
2S what? LiPo, PB, LiFe, NiMh...??? Simply divide the maximum fully charged voltage of whatever battery you are talking about into 200W (Ohms law). If for example a 2S LiPo, fully charged votage is 8.4V so that's about 24A (not taking slight efficiency losses into account). This charger however peaks at 20A max charge rate per side.
I only get mine to top 350w in total if I run 2 batteries. And 210w on one channel with DC. And I have a big 12v 100ah 900a battery to power from. 🤷♂️🤔😮
If you want to get the full power out of any charger, you have to feed it the maximum rated input voltage (in this case 30V). I was feeding it 26V from a 1000W supply to get the 400W per channel with 25V output charge voltage (6S LiPo Pack). You have to use Ohms law to determine the maximum power output for a given input and output charge voltage; without knowing specifically what voltage pack/s you are charging, I'm missing an important value in that equation. Regardless, if you want the full power rating, you have to feed it close to the full input voltage rating.
@Rombo-86 Again, it totally depends on the output voltage you are charging at. Twice now, you have not given me that value, so I'm completely in the dark. If for example you are charging something at 24V output and feeding the charger only 12V you are halfling the current and power available. Anyway, Ohms law is your friend and by using it with your specific input and output charge voltage/s, you'll be able to determine if the charger is working as it should or not.
So, turn up your peak delta voltage. All computerized chargers are set conservatively out the box; the D200's factory setting is 6mV. Low quality or tired packs with substantial IR variation between cells... you may have to increase that past 12mV.
@@Rchelicopterfun im already at 7mv..when the packs do charge until the end they are then too hot..packs are around 8 charges old each,7 packs in total,another racer using the same charger but the one with the neo tags is have the exact same problem
I've got one of those EOS checkers too... It's garbage. From day one. I still don't know why I keep it in my flight box. Better than nothing I guess. But it is not trustworthy at all.
@@Rchelicopterfun True, but I think HOTA appear first. Second was Hobbymate. Third is D200. No matter. They are working fine but as You said U>24V is necessary to get full power.

This is copy of HOTA D6 charger.
Or is the HOTA a rebadged D200neo? Regardless, makes no difference what name plate is on it, they both work.
@@Rchelicopterfun True, but I think HOTA appear first. Second was Hobbymate. Third is D200. No matter. They are working fine but as You said U>24V is necessary to get full power.
@@Viper81BB hota has no bluetooth or id get it
