With firmware upgrade it is possible to display internal cell resistance. By scrolling to the left You can toggle between cell voltage and resistance. Exactly like @Painless360 suggest in video ;-) It's huge upgrade from my previous unstable Toolkit RC M8. Finally my charger is calibrated perfectly out of the box, fan is spinning when it have to ;-) My only complain is with security. Bluetooth connection is not secured and anybody (behind the wall) can take over this charger. Attacker can mess up with parameters and burn my lipo and house. I get feedback from skyrc that they are working on securing bluetooth confection :-)

Pretty nice looking charger indeed! Thanks for the review, Lee! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Just downloaded a Thingverse 3D print of yours and worked out perfectly. Thanks 👊

Love SkyRC chargers, i have the Q200 model also, has been brilliant.

Very nice lee.hope you are well

PD needs to support the higher 20V output levels to be useful for laptops as well as phones.

Thanks for the review on this, was just checking out the unit now and mostly solidl information. One other thing I did find out though is that the PCH-150 USB unit doesn't plug in the side USDB, it takes up one of the XT60 outputs. Solid no thanks to that haha.

Nice review but they lost me at no IR live. I think ill stick to the D6 Pros ;)

i need that.

Looking up the price I am not sure I would buy it over the Hota D6 Pro or replacement S6.

Another great review! I’m still looking for a new charger to replace my trusty Imax B6 clone. I prefer the USB-C port than A, sorry but don’t you own any USB-C cables by now?

@Painless360

Usb C charging cables are not supplied with hobby hardware, DJI, RadioMaster, RunCam, Speedybee, ISDT, Walksnail, GoPro and many more supply charging cables with A style USB cables. It would have made sense to include an USB-C to A adapter in the box to support those devices easily... Happy flying

@@Painless360 many of those charge via USB-C, a simple C to C cable would take care of most of them. But I take your point, the best would have been to have both an A and a C port on the charger…

Isn't that skyrc a rebrand of the hota d6? It looks like it has the same connections, power specs, general shape and button inputs.

That's about right, considering how much SkyRC is better than HOTA. I couldn't care less what fanboys will say, but HOTA with its unbelievably sluggish UI (meaning, not everything is polished inisde) and freezing issues can only eat SkyRC's dust.

@@Painless360 the Aliexpress shipping isn't as slow as you'd expect! Spec wise the one in the video can charge at a higer current and has usb pd. But the hota has wireless charging and I'd be surprised if they aren't very similar inside and both equally thermally limited.

I don't think the HOTA is the same, but I'm pretty sure I know who manufactures all of Hitec's chargers. I don't know if anybody noticed, but a lot of the chargers Skyrc has made are exactly the same as Hitec chargers. The most obvious one is the T1000 and the external discharger- Hitec has this same charger/discharger combo- the only difference seems to be the color. I'm pretty sure Skyrc is an OEM manufacturer and there are many private label brands rebranding their creations. It goes way beyond chargers as well, as Skyrc makes a bunch of accessories that I've seen rebranded as well.

Can I connect it to my car battery and charge my power bank using the alternator ? Specifically Echoflow Delta 2 max.

@Painless360

Ай бұрын

Maybe, it isn't a use case that I can test here. I guess it depends on how the 'power bank' takes current and voltage from a charger... Best of luck!

ISDT is also a trustfull charger company.

I hate that Chargers won’t allow me to charge to 4.0 V or 4.1 V If i don’t fly i don’t have to storage charge them within half a day. But if i fly i can either top up 10min or just fly - maybe 30% shorter per pack. Also batteries last 10x longer when you only use it between 4.1V and 3.5 V instead of consuming every milliamp from 4.25V and 3.3V
