I've been using the Hobbymate D6 Duo Pro for quite some time now. I have three of them. I use all three when I charge all my flight packs at home before going out, and then take one D6 Duo Pro and a large car battery with me to charge in the field. Excellent charger. I did a review on this as well.
I take your advice on a lot of things & I've never been disappointed. Thank you.
I've been using a Hyperion EOS 720i Net 3 for over 10 years. It's been great, I really appreciate being able to use my PC to program it and monitor charging and cell gap on graphs displayed on my computer's display.
I am super pleased with the 2nd modular one. I am new to the hobby and this suits me perfectly. Awesome review as usual! 👍👍👍
Love my D6 duo pro. Very reliable. And the recycle feature is nice.
Enjoy all your videos always great information and always pleasant and positive presence. Not sure how i missed this great hobby in the last two months i have seen more rc videos then i care to admit lol starting my fleet slowly but surely i purchased mojave, max v2 and 6s infraction...So many more to add but need to slow down...anyway thanks again
you are right! I've the grey one suggested from you time ago and I'm very happy. perfect charger. Ciao Nanni
Fully agree, so I´ve moved from imax B6 Clones (trio whatever) to the Hota D6 pro (same as Hobbymate...AC/DC version), got two of them in the meantime. But for the "next" version I wish there would be a 350 - 450W power supply included, and maybe bluetooth. Beside of that, super compact, pretty not that super loud. My favorite charger (using them on the BatSafes). Also awesome is external discharge, or the other way arround (using the DC plug behind the hota d6 pro, put full battery in, charge two lipos on front to balanced mode, and hopefully you "quick discharge" the battery on the back
I bought D6 Duo pro, it's really smart!
I don’t use a dual charger but this one has been my favourite on the market for awhile. I like the hobbymate speed H6
Great Video Francis! I’ve been using the big brother hota d6+. Definitely the best out right now these two
Great to hear!
Thanks..... Love my Spektrum S2200 G2 and smart batteries along with the Spektrum battery checker.
I use spektrum for all my batteries. Does great with all makes and types. Fast and reliable!
i have a s2100 for safety and convenience
i just started using gens ace HV for the crawlers since spektrum does not offer similar small 3s lipo
What all can you use as a power supply for the DC option out in the field? Would something like those Anker portable power packs work as the power supply?
I have the HOTA D6 which is identical to the Hobbymate. My understanding is HOTA is the manufacturer of the Hobbymate, and they also make the Spektrum Smart chargers as well. My D6 has held up great although the power cord sometimes needs disconnected and reconnected (very rare). I came from a Duratrax 235 which was a basic 4 button charger which was not great for lipos
I also use the HOTA D6 - excellent
I've just ordered a ultrapower up8 hopefully it's reliable as it wasn't cheap I got it because it does 400w on ac input
hey Fran, I just got a battery for my GT5 radio (7.4v 1000mah 2S lipo) and can't figure out how to charge it on my D6 Duo Pro...
Have you had success charging little batteries with balance port only? thanks!
i have a Spektrum s2100 duo and love the auto detect and start
the Hobbymate would be a good one if I had to buy another since the price is good compared to the spektrum
the new G2 are beasts but expansive
What is a good charger /battery for rock hobby jeep thanks
Can you charge the Gens Ace Adventure High Voltage lipos with this charger? Thannks
Hi. Thank you for this informative video. I am new to the rc car hobby. I would like to know if you have any recommendation on some budget (under $100 US dollars) rc smart charger that does lipo, li Ion, Nimh etc.... Maybe you can review some of them. Thank you in advance. Jack
Great videos, i m just started with the rc hobby and it helped a lot.
I use the GensAce charger, but only one port unfortunately . Your video is about one month to late. 😂
Help please. I am new to the hobby, so new in fact that my kids haven’t opened their new Trx4m’s for Christmas yet. I want to get a good Lipo charger for the batteries and found this video. I understand the 2s ID Traxxas battery has a special connector and wanted to know if this thing can charge it stock with no adapters? If it needs an adapter what is it? Thanks so much for your help! Love love love your videos.
The Hobbymate D6 Dual Lite charger and T240 power supply has been the worst quality RC item I have ever owned. Both have stopped working at about 3-4 months of use. Very nice when new, just didn't last.
was going to order but not available? should update
I had a question regarding this charger. I started charging with Dualmate a 2S Lipo Battery Gens and it gave me an error of Abnormal Balance connection even tho in the screen it shows the cells above 3.6 volts. What do you recommend? This battery is relatively new.
I use Hyperion 0720i Super Duo3 with a 750 watt PSU. But I think your option is the better value for lipo charging.
Which is a better charger Gensace duo or Hobby mate D6 pro
What do you think about UltraPower UP9?? (can be purchased on aliexpress) Thanks :)
Can I use this to charge 3s 5000-8000 mah batteries for my rc car?
I have one of these. The only problem with it is it doesn't tell me my total mah when I connect it. Only when it's done a charge will it tell you the capacity. Otherwise unplug battery and plug back in again and it doesn't print the full capacity of your batteries on the screen.
Reliability is king, do these last? Keep us updated. Have t240 and screen went blank after a few uses
Try contacting Hobbymate, they supposedly offer a 1 year warranty on all their products. They swapped my T240 power supply, and I'm currently going through warranty process on the D6 Dual Lite charger. I received my original set in early January and both have gone out before July....
@@bbyautographics7106 T240 is made by HTRC unfortunately. no response from them
Got ya, I have the Hobbymate T240 power supply and I didn't realize that their was another company with a charger same part number. If you decide to get another, I would not recommend Hobbymate...
If I had money to get a good charger I would get one of those but I have a B6 balance charger it’s very good
I cant believe it doesn't come with the adapter plugs !!! I have 4 different types of battery plugs Most chargers have normal banana type outputs
Is this DAN from the “hobby chest”?
Isdt. I think I bought every product that they put out just because I loved yourself so much they're amazing That's why I was disappointed when I seen you say hobbymate. But it's all up to personal opinion but good video
ISDT is right there as well. I've had a couple of their chargers.
@@RCReviewChannel I think what originally got my attention with them was their separate dischargers. And after I had a lipo fire I went on being super safe and building a containment system and whatnot and I just liked you know the size and everything and how everything connected together and could be updated on the computer.
If one wishes to bypass the internal (Ac to Dc) power supply in the (model D6) , I suggest using a 24Vdc @ 30 amp Ac to Dc power supply for charging single or dual High power mAh battery packs, like 4,5,6s 3000mAh to 8000mAh or what ever. An external battery to input a charge controller is not a good Idea unless one uses a good size battery such as an (AGM, Sealed lead acid) 100Ahr fully charged so not to cause drop out. Funny they call the packs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6s... Should be called (Example) 6csc or 6cs2pc (6 cell series circuit) or (6 cell series 2 parallel circuit) I have a friend in the hobby that builds his own LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery packs and still argues with me that 1, 2, 3s etc is a or is the cell... In a sense, it may be consider a "Cell Bank" but not a Battery cell that is made up as a single cathode and a single anode that makes up a single cell battery (Negative and Positive) He is a younger kid... The younger generation has it pretty good these days because the basic building blocks have been built for them to expand technology and that is a good thing but dangerous without redundancy. As A retired E.E. in the communications, Broadcast and Audio industry, I am having the time of my life. Not only do I understand the very basics of electronics, I can utilize the combined devices produced by putting together old school with new school to do and build some amazing things. AND they call the (+ Positive) the power, hot side when in reality it's the (-Negative) side that carries 70% of the currant/Amps/Volume. The D6 is a fairly good charger but as everything these days, I modify almost everything I purchase and make it better. in the D6, I replaced the Electrolytic Caps with (Rubycon Caps) and some of the resisters with 2% (Allen Bradlley) and the Voltage regulator devices with (APC) Listen to this nice person here on this UA-cam channel as he talks about safety first. He does this because like myself... He has let enough smoke out of his devices to know what works and what does not AND like myself, Got into a bit of danger that none of us want others to experience. Let me tell you, its a real bastard to get the smoke back into the devices where they belong, LOL... I want to say., Sir, You are a wonderful teacher to both young, old and new to the hobby and your videos are spot on. Keep up the great work . Very best wishes., D. Mallett. P.S. I put instant coffee into a microwave oven and almost went back in time. (S. Wright)
