To charge 2 6S 5000mAh packs in less than half an hour, something this charger is just about capable of, you’d need to feed it at least 25A at 24V or equivalent distribution of around 600W. At home when I do my batch charging, which requires far more juice (maybe I want to discharge, then storage charge my 4 6S packs at 12A), I don’t have a power source that can do that. While in the field I wouldn’t have to charge more than one pack at a time and could therefore use a field power source, such as my car’s battery, even for 6S at 20A if I have a big car. And that’s the only kicker with this charger it needs ridiculous amounts of power to do what it does. In many applications, you could cycle a small number of batteries all day using this charger, easily charging batteries faster than you can discharge them, provided you have a suitable power source. To think that charge times have now come down to close to run times and for this little money is really something, and testament to how far battery and charger technologies have come.

To take it to the full extreme, you could theoretically charge 5000mAh 2S to 3S (maybe 4S at a stretch) packs in pairs with an average charge time for each battery from flat to full of 8-10 minutes (charging pairs in 15-20 minutes), which is mind-blowing. Pretty comprehensive, with the usual caveat that these types of chargers have you can’t max it out on both channels, 2 6S packs charging at 20A would be 1000W!! Don’t be disheartened though, the performance is still awesome. Turnigy Reaktor 2 x 300W 20A balance charger Pb battery cell count: 1~12series (2~24V)
