Another great accessory video Steve. I love the look of this thing and loved the cordless smart charger from a month or two ago.

very very nice for you on that battery charger. nicely explained

Nice charger. Nice review

Excellent Review Video and Information. Thank You.

Very nice charger. I really like the option to measure resistance on each cell. I guess all of us have a pile of them collected over the years but this is definitely another one I will use in the field. Great review Captain.

Looks like a great little charger! Will have to keep this in mind if my usual charger dies! But what I really want is a new version of their M4 Pocket that can do 6s and take 100W USB C input!

Very cool 😎🤝

I recently picked up the M6D especially for dual output and DC. Got the AC adapter too. Only used a couple times, but I like it. Seems much more stable with the small batteries for UMX planes than my Spektrum chargers. Would have liked to seen more on the additional functions on this model. That seems to be what sets it apart.

The BIG deal with this charger is that they were able to make it Tiny and take AC power directly without an external transformer box.

I like it

I've got so many good multiple brand Li-Po chargers that I don't need any more to charge my over 70 different Li-Po batteries for all my Air, Water, Ground RC toys.. The ones I have work just great. Probably good for new comers to the hobby but a bit pricey... IMO

Decent price

Hi Captain Drone, Thanks for the great review. I just received mine in the mail and love it’s compact size, quality and all the things that you can do with it. I was wondering if you can answer (hopefully) a quick question! I have the ToolkitRC P200 Power unit and would like to use it to power it up this little charger instead of using another outlet since I already have the P200 plugged in Would you be able to advise me as to what settings I should set the P200 at to fully take advantage of this little charger? Thank you for your time.

Great Job I hate these people that go to review a product and it appears they never even used it or read the instruction manual. the down side to this is it only charges one batt at a time and it not like the spectrum smart battery charger that just does it for you. If you use spectrum smart batts

I know this is AC/DC charger, but a while ago you've reviewed M9 from ToolkitRC as well. They are not the same, but very close in price here in Canada currently. Which one would you recommend? M9 is more powerful minus AC option, but even the finish of the product seems way nicer than this "plasticky" M7AC. I already have my trusty iSDT D1 (also AC/DC version), but looking to buy a backup charger, just in case). Which one between the M7AC and the M9, would you go with? Thanks in advance!

I often run external power off the balance cable when I need to power an external device on a drone. I have a special cable that plugs in the balance lead of the battery and reduces the voltage down to 5 or less volts. I bought such a cable on one of the FPV Drone sites but can't recall which (could have been HGLRC, GEPRC, REKON FPV, IFLIGHT, FLYWOO)

is the charger able to power off a solar power box that has a required constant voltage?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

Yes.... But, it all depends on the amp draw. If it is insuffient, the charger will tell you. You may be able to get around it by changing the input power settings, but I've never tried it.

Fans on modern chargers do not come on or stay on unless the charger gets really hot, then the noise level is exactly the same as when it was first turned on (you heard the fan do its test for less than a second).

Is this one enough to charge a 6s2p li-ion pack? so if the pack can deliver 5000mAh then I guess this charger can do 100W/22.4V = 4A. So if the pack would be charged to full then it would take a little more than an hour. Am I correct ?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

6S at 5000 mAh would only charge up quickly via DC input. AC input would be slower but still within an hour I believe. I have many chargers that can charge a 5000 mah 6s in 15 mins at 5 amps, but they are 400 watt output on AC.

These chargers, like most RC Chargers, are made for 2S to 6S batteries (or 2S to 8S). This is because the charger is designed to use a balance charge which comes fromt the balance plug on the battery and a 1s battery has no such thing.

What's your story? Just received mine, but i have issues with it. Main one is that it wont charge from AC power. First it didn't even turn on from AC. Then i connected the battery (to charge) first so it powered on, and then the AC cable. It read 18.2 V as input, but when i start charging after about 5 seconds it says "main port disconnected" and stops charging. I tried several times... it never powers on from AC. (I know there is a swicth, tried plug the AC cable in ether position and tried to switch it several times. I think it's defective... Also tried to measure resistance of a battery on storage voltage and it said too low voltage to measure. So i charged it first, and then it could measure. But with the next battery also on storage voltage it could measure resistance without issues. Also once i tried to change input settings but I couldn't. The change values option just didn't work until reboot. I feel likea low quality, defective device and i don't feel safe... Especially after your comment. Before I used a B6 mini clone for 5 years now. It's still working but there is no calibration function and internal resistance measurement option. That's why i bought this 'high quality' charger (for about 6 times the price of the B6 clone) and it seems like i have to keep using the B6 clone for now because this ToolKit M7AC doesn't work from AC. I'm not happy at all.
