00:00If you've ever come back from the field with a pile of dead lipos and only one charger to your
00:04name, you know the pain.
00:06I've been down that road, and after way too much testing and a few melted connectors,
00:10I've rounded up the top 5 balance chargers and charging accessories for RC batteries,
00:14and I track down the best deals on every single one.
00:17Let's get into it.
00:20First up is this 2-8s lipo parallel chargeboard, and honestly, this thing changed my whole workflow.
00:26Instead of charging one pack at a time and waiting around forever, you plug in a whole stack of batteries
00:31and knock them all out in one go.
00:33It handles anything from 2s up to 8s, the board is solid, and it's got proper spacing between the ports
00:39so you're not fighting with your leads.
00:41At around $5.46, it's basically pocket change, and nearly 5,000 people have picked one up with a 4
00:48.7 rating.
00:50If you fly more than two packs a session, just get it.
00:53Next is the Toolkit RC-M7, and this is the one I actually reach for the most.
00:59200W of DC charging power in something small enough to toss in a backpack,
01:03and it comes bundled with the ADP100 100W adapter so you're not hunting for a power supply.
01:09It'll handle 1-6s lipo, LiHV, LIFE, and LiIon,
01:13and the color screen with the internal resistance readout tells you exactly when a pack is starting to go bad.
01:19$30.52, 4.9 stars, for a charger this capable, that price is kind of ridiculous.
01:26Now, this one's small but it might save your setup.
01:29This is a 5-pack of JSTXH balance extension cables, 1s to 8s, 30 cm of proper silicone wire in
01:3622 gauge.
01:38If you've ever yanked a balance lead out of a battery because your charger was too far away,
01:43you know exactly why you need these.
01:45The silicone insulation stays flexible in the cold,
01:48and the connectors actually seat properly instead of feeling loose.
01:52$4.90 for 5 of them, 4.9 rating.
01:56Buy them before you need them, not after.
01:59Then there's the legendary IMAX B6, the charger that's been in RC garages for over a decade for a reason.
02:0680W, and it handles pretty much everything, lipo, NAMH, LiIon, NIS-ED, you name it.
02:12It charges, it discharges, it balances, and it comes with the 12V 5A AC adapter so it's ready to go
02:18right out of the box.
02:20It's not the flashiest unit on this list, but it's dependable, dead simple to learn on,
02:25and at $13.20 it's the cheapest way to get a real, proper balance charger on your bench.
02:31And rounding things out, the Gensace IMARS Mini.
02:34This is the travel charger, it runs off USB-C with QC and PD,
02:39which means you can charge your packs from a laptop brick or even a power bank at the field.
02:44No lugging a power supply around.
02:47It covers 2-4S lipo, LiHV, LIFE, and NAMH,
02:50and the GTEC smart charging keeps an eye on cell health for you.
02:55$20.81 with a 4.9 rating, and for FPV and drone pilots who fly away from home,
03:00it's honestly the most convenient charger on this whole list.
03:04All the links are down in the description, and I've made sure they're the best prices I could find.
